  1. One end of string of length l is connected to a particle of mass 'm' and the other end is connected to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in circle with speed 'v' the net force on the particle (directed towards centre) will be (T represents the tension in the string) :-
    1. T -
      mv²
      1
    2. T -
      mv²
      1
    3. Zero
    4. T
Correct Option: D

Net force on particle in uniform circular motion is centripetal force

mv²
l

which is  provided by tension in string so the net force will be equal to tension i.e., T.
