Q7. A stone tied to the end of a string 80 cm long is whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. If the stone makes 14 revolutions in 25 s, what is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the stone?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Length of the string, l = 80 cm = 0.8 m
Number of revolutions = 14
Time taken = 25 s
Frequency, 
Angular frequency, 

Centripetal acceleration, ac = ω2r

= 9.9 ms-2
The direction of centripetal acceleration is always directed along the string, towards the centre, at all points.
