Solution
It is given that a car is moving with speed v on a circular horizontal road of radius r.
(a) Let T be the tension in the string.
According to the free body diagram, the value of T is given as,
\[T = \sqrt{\left( mg \right)^2 + \left( \frac{m v^2}{r} \right)^2}\]
\[= m\sqrt{g^2 + \frac{v^4}{r^2}} = ma,\]
where acceleration, a \[= \sqrt{g^2 + \frac{v^4}{r^2}}\]
The time period \[\left( T \right)\] is given by ,
\[T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\]
\[\text { On substituting the respective values, we have: } \]
\[T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{\left( g^2 + \frac{v^4}{r^2} \right)^{1/2}}}\]
