- $3mg$, vertically downwards
- $3mg$, vertically upwards
- $7mg$, vertically downwards
- $7mg$, vertically upwards
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The force on $7^{th}$ coin is due to weight of the three coins lying above it.
$\therefore F = 3mg$
This force acts vertically downwards.

Top Questions on Centripetal forces
- A particle of mass π is under the influence of the gravitational field of a body of mass π (β« π). The particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius \(π_0\) with time period \(π_0\) around the mass π. Then, the particle is subjected to an additional central force, corresponding to the potential energy πc(π) = ππΌ/π 3 , where πΌ is a positive constant of suitable dimensions and π is the distance from the center of the orbit. If the particle moves in the same circular orbit of radius\( π_0\) in the combined gravitational potential due to π and πc(π), but with a new time period \(π_1\), then\( (π_1^2 β π_0^ 2 )/π_1^ 2\) is given by [πΊ is the gravitational constant.]

- A particle of mass m is moving in a circular orbit under the influence of the central force\( f(r) = βkr\), corresponding to the potential energy \(v(r) = \frac{kr^2}{2}\), where \(k\) is a positive force constant and \( r\) is the radial distance from the origin. According to the Bohrβs quantization rule, the angular momentum of the particle is given by \(L= nβ\), where\( β = β/(2pi), β\) is the Planckβs constant, and \(n\) a positive integer. If \(v\) and \(E\) are the speed and total energy of the particle, respectively, then which of the following expression(s) is(are) correct?

Centripetal Forces
- The centripetal force makes a move on the object traveling in a circular direction and is directed towards the center upon which the object is moving.
- Centripetal force emanates from the gravitational pull and electrostatic force.
- It is a real force acting on both inertial frames and non-inertial frames.
- The centripetal force formula is
- From the object to the center is the exact direction of centripetal forces.
- The centripetal force has the tendency to turn towards the center.
- Centripetal force makes us set foot in a circular motion.
