$A$ stone of mass $m$,tied to the end of a string,is whirled around in a circle on a horizontal frictionless table. The length of the string is reduced gradually,keeping the angular momentum of the stone about the centre of the circle constant. Then,the tension in the string is given by $T = Ar^n$,where $A$ is a constant and $r$ is the instantaneous radius of the circle. The value of $n$ is equal to

  • A
    $-1$
  • B
    $-2$
  • C
    $-4$
  • D
    $-3$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v_0$ in a circle of radius $R_0$ on a smooth horizontal plane. The mass is tied to a string passing through a hole in the smooth plane as shown in the figure. The tension in the string is gradually increased,and finally,the mass $m$ moves in a circle of radius $\frac{R_0}{2}$. What is the ratio of the final kinetic energy to the initial kinetic energy?
