Question

In the case of conical pendulum, if 'T' is the tension in the string and 'θ' is the semi-vertical angle of cone, then the component which provides necessary centripetal force is ______.

Options

• T sin θ

• T tan θ

• T cos θ

• `(T sin θ)/2`

Answer 1

In the case of conical pendulum, if 'T' is the tension in the string and 'θ' is the semi-vertical angle of cone, then the component which provides necessary centripetal force is T sin θ.
