JEE MainPhysicsModerateCircular motion

A particle of mass m=542kgm = \frac{5}{42}kg is tied to an end of an
inextensible string and is whirled in a vertical circle as shown below.

Then, the difference in tension of string at A and B i.e.

TA−TBT_{A} - T_{B} in Newton is: (particle completes the circle)

Show answer and solution
ΔT=3mgΔhI\Delta T = \frac{3mg\Delta h}{I}
hB−hA=I(35+45)=7I5h_{B} - h_{A} = I(\frac{3}{5} + \frac{4}{5}) = \frac{7I}{5}
TA−BB=3mgI(hB−hA)T_{A} - B_{B} = \frac{3mg}{I}(h_{B} - h_{A})
=3mgI×7I5= \frac{3mg}{I} \times \frac{7I}{5}
=21mg5=215×542×10= \frac{21mg}{5} = \frac{21}{5} \times \frac{5}{42} \times 10
=5N= 5N
