$A$ bob of mass $m$ is whirled in a horizontal plane by means of a string of length $\ell$ with an initial angular speed of $\omega$. The tension in the string is $T$. If the angular speed becomes $2\omega$ while keeping the same radius $\ell$,the tension in the string becomes:

  • A
    $4T$
  • B
    $\frac{T}{4}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}T$
  • D
    $T$
