Problem

A stone tied to a string is whirled in a uniform circular path in a horizontal plane. What is the work done by the tension in the string after the stone completes half a revolution? a) Positive and equal to the change in kinetic energy b) Zero because the tension is always perpendicular to the displacement c) TπrT\pi r where TT is the tension and rr is the radius of the circle d) Cannot be determined without knowing the speed
