    A stone ties to the end of a string \[1m\] long is whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. If the stone makes 22 revolution in 44 seconds, what is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the stone [CBSE PMT 2005]

    A)             \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{4}m{{s}^{-2}}\] and direction along the radius towards the centre

    B)             \[{{\pi }^{2}}m{{s}^{-2}}\] and direction along the radius away from the centre

    C)             \[{{\pi }^{2}}m{{s}^{-2}}\] and direction along the radius towards the centre

    D)                         \[{{\pi }^{2}}m{{s}^{-2}}\] and direction along the tangent to the circle

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    a \[=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{r}={{\omega }^{2}}r\]\[=4{{\pi }^{2}}{{n}^{2}}r=4{{\pi }^{2}}{{\left( \frac{22}{44} \right)}^{2}}\times 1\]\[={{\pi }^{2}}\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]and its direction is always along the radius and towards the centre.
