$A$ ball of mass $m$ is attached to a string whose other end is fixed. The system is free to rotate in a vertical plane. When the ball swings,no work is done on the ball by the tension in the string. Which of the following statements is the correct explanation?

  • A
    Tension is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the ball.
  • B
    Tension is an internal force for the ball.
  • C
    Tension is an external force for the ball.
  • D
    Since the ball is swinging about the axis,total displacement is zero.

$A$ force $\vec{F}=(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}) \;N$ acts on a particle moving in the $x-y$ plane. Starting from the origin,the particle first moves along the $x$-axis to the point $(4,0) \;m$ and then parallel to the $y$-axis to the point $(4,3) \;m$. The total work done by the force on the particle is ............. $J$.
