A particle of mass m is moving in a circular path of constant radius r such that its centripetal acceleration ac is varying with time t as ac=k2rt2 , where k is a constant. The power delivered to the particle by the force acting on it is -
  1. Zero
  2. 2mk2r2t
  3. mk2r2t
  4. 2mk2rt

Solution

ac=k2rt2

Or v2r=k2rt2  Or    v=krt
Therefore, tangential acceleration, at=dvdt=kr

Therefore, tangential force, Ft=mat=mkr

Only tangential force does work.

Power=Ftv=mkrkrt ⇒Power=mk2r2t
