$A$ ball of mass $m$ is attached to a string whose other end is fixed. The system is free to rotate in a vertical plane. When the ball swings,no work is done on the ball by the tension in the string. Which of the following statements is the correct explanation?

  • A
    Tension is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the ball.
  • B
    Tension is an internal force for the ball.
  • C
    Tension is an external force for the ball.
  • D
    Since the ball is swinging about the axis,total displacement is zero.
