when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as
T=mv²/r
where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple
v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.
clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.
at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks
The time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be 8.4 minutes.
To find the answer, we need to know about the distance travelled by light.
<h3>How to find the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth?</h3>
- So, in order to solve this problem, we must first know how far the moon is from Earth and how far the Sun is from the moon.
- These distances are given as 3.8×10^5 km (Earth-Moon) and 1.5×10^8 km (Sun- Earth).
- Since the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth during a full moon, the light's distance traveled equals,
- As we know that light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second. then, the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be,
Thus, the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth and be recognized as 8.4 minutes.

Materials required for the experiment of limiting force borne by string:-
- String balance
- weights
- light strings
- weight hanger
- pan for spring balance
- Sand
Steps of procedure for for the experiment of limiting force borne by string:-
- First we have to tie a light string to the fixed support and then tie the other end with the weight hanger consists of weight.
- Add additional weight to the hanger again and again. And continue the same until the string is broken.
- Note down the weight (x) where the string is broken.
- Suspend spring balance to a support.
- Tie the light string at the end of the balance and at the other end suspend the pan for spring balance.
- Now place the weights (x-100 grams) in pan.
- Observe the reading in the spring balance.
- Add a small amount of sand in the pan by observing the readings.
- same is to be done till the string is broken.

The second statement is false. The Sun is a star, but not the only star.
