Solution

The correct option is A 6mg
As per the question, the situation can be represented as


We have the force equation as
TLower=mg+mu2r
TUpper=mv2rmg
So we have
TLowerTUpper=mr(u2v2)+2mg...(1)
Also, we have
u2v2=[(5rg)2(rg)2]=4rg...(2)
Putting value of (2) in (1) we have
TLowerTUpper=mr×4rg+2mg=6mg
