Assertion (A): A body tied to an end of a string is whirled along a vertical circle by giving some velocity at the lowest position. If the velocity becomes zero before the tension in the string is zero, the body will leave the circular path at the position of its zero velocity and then fall vertically downward.
Reason (R): In vertical circular motion, tension in the string at the highest position is maximum.
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false
Solution:
If velocity becomes zero before tension, the object leaves the circular path and follows a parabolic trajectory, not vertically downward. So (A) is false.
Tension is maximum at the lowest point and minimum at the highest point in vertical circular motion. So (R) is false.
