    A simple pendulum having a bob of mass m is suspended from the ceiling of a car used in a stunt film shooting. the car moves up along an inclined cliff at a speed v and makes a jump to leave the cliff and lands at some distance. Let R be the maximum height of the car from the top of the cliff. The tension in the string when the car is in air is
    (a) mg
    (b)mg-``mv^2R``
    (c)mg+``mv^2R``
    (d) zero.
    digAnsr:   d
    Ans : (d) zero
    When the car is in air, the acceleration of bob and car is same. Hence, the tension in the string will be zero.
