$A$ ball of mass $0.25 \,kg$ attached to the end of a string of length $1.96 \,m$ is moving in a horizontal circle. The string will break if the tension is more than $25 \,N$. What is the maximum speed with which the ball can be moved (in $\,m/s$)?

If the string of a conical pendulum makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,then the square of its time period is proportional to

One end of a string of length $l$ is connected to a particle of mass $m$ and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed $v$,the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is :
$(i) \; T$
$(ii) \; T - \frac{m v^{2}}{l}$
$(iii) \; T + \frac{m v^{2}}{l}$
$(iv) \; 0$
$T$ is the tension in the string. [Choose the correct alternative].
