    Assertion (A) : A ball connected to a string is in circular motion on a frictionless horizontal table and is in equilibrium. Reason (R): Magnitude of the centripetal force is equal to the magnitude of the tension in the string. The correct answer is

    A)                 Both (A)  and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of .

    B)                 Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of .

    C)                 (A) is true but (R) is not true.

    D)                 (A) is not true but (R) is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     In a circular motion, the direction of resultant force is towards centre and its magnitude is \[F=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\] or                            \[F=mr{{\omega }^{2}}\] Thus, a centripetal force of magnitude \[\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\]is needed to keep the particle moving in a circle with constant speed.
