A bob is whirled in a horizontal plane by means of a string with an initial speed of rpm. The tension in the string is T. If speed becomes 2 while keeping the same radius, the tension in the string becomes:

1. T
2. 4T
3. T4
4. 2T

A bob is whirled in a horizontal circle by means of a string at an initial speed of 10 rpm. If the tension in the string is quadrupled while keeping the radius constant, the new speed is:

1. 20 rpm
2. 40 rpm
3. 5 rpm
4. 10 rpm

A box of mass 5 kg is pulled by a cord, up along a frictionless plane inclined at 30 with the horizontal. The tension in the cord is 30 N. The acceleration of the box is (Take g = 10 m s-2)

1. 2 m s-2
2. Zero
3. 0.1 m s-2
4. 1 m s-2

A football player is moving southward and suddenly turns eastward with the same speed to avoid an opponent. The force that acts on the player while turning is :

2. 2v
3. 2 2v
4. 3 2v
