Question 1
10 May 2024 S1
46A body of mass 200 gram is tied to a spring of spring constant , while the other end of the spring is fixed at point O. If the body moves about O in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular speed 5 rad/s, then the ratio of extension in the spring to its natural length will beTap an option to check your answer.
