$A$ stone of mass $0.25 \; kg$ is tied to the end of a string and is being whirled in a horizontal circle of radius $1.5 \; m$ with a speed of $40 \; rev./min$. If the speed of the stone is increased beyond the maximum permissible value and the string breaks suddenly,which of the following correctly describes the trajectory of the stone after the string breaks?
$(a)$ The stone moves radially outward.
$(b)$ The stone flies off tangentially from the instant the string breaks.
$(c)$ The stone flies off at an angle with the tangent whose magnitude depends on the speed of the particle.
