A particle does uniform circular motion in a horizontal plane. The radius of the circle is 20 cm. If the centripetal force F is kept constant but the angular velocity is doubled, the new radius of the path (original radius R) will be (A) R/4 (B) R/2 (C) 2R (D) 4R

Answer»

Answer is (A) R/4

F = mω2R

∴ R ∝ \(\frac{1}{ω^2}\) (m and F are constant)

If ω is doubled, then radius will become 1/4 times i.e., R/4
