    If the radius of curvature of the path of two particles of same masses are in the ratio 1 : 2, then in order to have constant centripetal force, their velocity, should be in the ratio of                                     [Pb. PET 2000]

    A)             1 : 4    

    B)           4 : 1

    C)                 \[\sqrt{2}\,\,:\,\,1\] 

    D)                 \[1\,\,:\,\,\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The centripetal force, \[F=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\] Þ \[r=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{F}\] \ \[r\propto {{v}^{2}}\] or \[v\propto \sqrt{r}\]       (If m and F are constant), Þ \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}\]
