The kinetic energy k of a particle moving along a circle of radius R depends on the distance covered s as k = as² where a is a constant. The force acting on the particle is 

(1) $2a\frac{s^2}{R}$

(2) $2as{\left(1+\frac{{\displaystyle s^2}}{{\displaystyle R^2}}\right)}^{1/2}$

(3) 2 as

(4) $2a\frac{R^2}{s}$

A stone of mass 1 kg tied to a light inextensible string of length $L=\frac{10}{3}m$ is whirling in a circular path of radius L in a vertical plane. If the ratio of the maximum tension in the string to the minimum tension in the string is 4 and if g is taken to be 10 m/sec², the speed of the stone at the highest point of the circle is 

1. 20 m/sec

2. $10\sqrt{3}m/\sec$

3. $5\sqrt{2}m/\sec$

4. 10 m/sec

4.	Same in all cases

A stone tied to a string of length L is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed u. The magnitude of the change in its velocity as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal is:

1. $\sqrt{u^2-2gL}$

2. $\sqrt{2gL}$

3. $\sqrt{u^2-gl}$

4. $\sqrt{2(u^2-gL)}$
