To whirl any object in a circle, the most necessary factors are a force and a perpendicular distance about its centre.

And the product of these two factors gives torque i.e torque= force × perpendicular distance.

Hence A is the correct answer.

The string is needed to apply a torque to the ball.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

To rotate any object in a circle, the most important factors are force and perpendicular distance around the center. The product of these two factors produces torque, i.e. Forces x vertical distance. An object moving in a circle must exert an internal force to achieve internal acceleration.

In this case, the string is needed for the ball to rotate, because that makes the ball go in a circle. This is done by dragging the object to the center of the circle.
