A rod of length L is rotated in horizontal plane with constant angular velocity ω. A mass m is suspended by a light string of length L from the other end of the rod. If the angle made by vertical with the string is θthen angular speed, ω =

A
[L(1+tanθ)gsinθ]1/2
B
[gtanθL(1+tanθ)]1/2
C
[L+sinθgtanθ]1/2
D
[L(1+sinθ)gtanθ]1/2
Answer
[L(1+sinθ)gtanθ]1/2
Explanation
Solution
Radius of horizontal circle of ball = (L + L sinθ)
∴ C.P. Acceleration = (L + L sin θ)ω2 ( a = rω2)
Here mg = T cos θ …….. (i)
and mω2(L + L sin θ) = T sin θ ……… (ii)
Dividing (ii) by (i)
tan θ = gω2( L+Lsinθ)
or ω2 = L(1+sinθ)gtanθ
