$A$ ball of mass $m$ is attached to a string whose other end is fixed. The system is free to rotate in a vertical plane. When the ball swings,no work is done on the ball by the tension in the string. Which of the following statements is the correct explanation?

  • A
    Tension is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the ball.
