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].

$A$ particle describes a horizontal circle of radius $r$ in a conical funnel with a smooth inner surface with a speed of $v = 0.5 \text{ m/s}$. The height $h$ of the plane of the circle from the vertex of the funnel is (acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$): (in $\text{ cm}$)

$A$ tube of length $L$ is filled completely with an incompressible liquid of mass $M$ and closed at both ends. The tube is then rotated in a horizontal plane about one of its ends with a uniform angular velocity $\omega$. Then the force exerted by the liquid at the other end is

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is fixed to one end of a light spring having force constant $k$ and unstretched length $\ell$. The other end is fixed. The system is given an angular speed $\omega$ about the fixed end of the spring such that it rotates in a circle in gravity-free space. Then the stretch in the spring is

$A$ particle is released on a vertical smooth semicircular track from point $X$ so that $OX$ makes an angle $\theta$ from the vertical (see figure). The normal reaction of the track on the particle vanishes at point $Y$ where $OY$ makes an angle $\phi$ with the horizontal. Then
