Here's the solution for Question 46:

Question 46:

  • Problem Statement: A ball of mass 0.4 kg is attached to a string of length 0.8 m. The ball is rotated in a vertical circle such that the speed at the lowest point is 6.0 m/s. The tension in the string at the lowest point is?
  1. Identify the given values and the forces involved.

    • Mass of the ball, m=0.4 kgm = 0.4 \, \text{kg}.
    • Length of the string (which is the radius of the circular path), r=0.8 mr = 0.8 \, \text{m}.
    • Speed of the ball at the lowest point, v=6.0 m/sv = 6.0 \, \text{m/s}.
    • Acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2.

    At the lowest point of the vertical circle, two forces act on the ball:

    1. The tension (TT) in the string, acting upwards (towards the center of the circle).
    2. The gravitational force (mgmg), acting downwards (away from the center of the circle).
  2. Apply Newton's Second Law for circular motion.

    The net force acting towards the center of the circle provides the centripetal force (FcF_c). At the lowest point, the centripetal force is the difference between the tension and the gravitational force.

    Fnet=T−mgF_{\text{net}} = T - mg

    The centripetal force is given by Fc=mv2rF_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}.
    Equating the net force to the centripetal force:

    T−mg=mv2rT - mg = \frac{mv^2}{r}
  3. Solve for the tension (TT).

    Rearrange the equation to isolate TT:

    T=mg+mv2rT = mg + \frac{mv^2}{r}

    Substitute the given numerical values into the equation:

    T=(0.4 kg)(9.8 m/s2)+(0.4 kg)(6.0 m/s)20.8 mT = (0.4 \, \text{kg})(9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2) + \frac{(0.4 \, \text{kg})(6.0 \, \text{m/s})^2}{0.8 \, \text{m}}

    First, calculate the gravitational force:

    mg=0.4×9.8=3.92 Nmg = 0.4 \times 9.8 = 3.92 \, \text{N}

    Next, calculate the centripetal force term:

    mv2r=0.4×(6.0)20.8=0.4×360.8=14.40.8=18 N\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{0.4 \times (6.0)^2}{0.8} = \frac{0.4 \times 36}{0.8} = \frac{14.4}{0.8} = 18 \, \text{N}

    Now, add these two values to find the tension:

    T=3.92 N+18 NT = 3.92 \, \text{N} + 18 \, \text{N} T=21.92 NT = 21.92 \, \text{N}
  4. Compare the result with the given options.

    Rounding 21.92 N21.92 \, \text{N} to two significant figures (consistent with the input values) gives 22 N22 \, \text{N}.
    The given options are:
    (A) 4.0 N
    (B) 14 N
    (C) 18 N
    (D) 22 N

    The calculated tension matches option (D).

    The final answer is D\boxed{\text{D}}.
