A particle of mass m is suspended from a ceiling through a massless string. The particle moves in a horizontal circle as shown in the given figure. The tension in the string is:
 

1. mg

2. 2mg

3. 3mg

Choose the incorrect alternative:

The kinetic energy 'K' of a particle moving in a circular path varies with the distance covered S as K = a${\mathrm{S}}^2$, where a is constant. The angle between the tangential force and the net force acting on the particle is: (R is the radius of the circular path)

1.  ${\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)$

2.  ${\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{S}}\right)$

3.  ${\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)$

4.  ${\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{a}}\right)$

A simple pendulum hangs from the roof of a train moving on horizontal rails. If the string is inclined towards the front of the train, then the train is:

1. moving with constant velocity.

2. in accelerated motion.

3. in retarded motion.

4. at rest.

A body of mass m is moving on a concave bridge ABC of the radius of curvature R at a speed v. The normal reaction of the bridge on the body at the instant it is at the lowest point of the bridge is:

2.  $\mathrm{mg}$ $+$ $\frac{{\mathrm{mv}}^2}{\mathrm{R}}$

3.  mg

4.  $\frac{{\mathrm{mv}}^2}{\mathrm{R}}$

The angle of banking for a cyclist taking a turn at a curve is given by tan$\mathrm{\theta } = \frac{{\mathrm{v}}^{\mathrm{n}}}{\mathrm{rg}}$ where symbols have their usual meaning. The value of n is:
