As shown in the figure,two strings of length $l$ each are attached to a vertical axis $AB$ of length $l$. The strings are $AC$ and $BC$. At point $C$,a point mass $m$ is attached. The mass rotates about the axis with angular velocity $\omega$. The tensions in strings $AC$ and $BC$ are $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. Choose the $CORRECT$ alternative:

  • A
    $T_1 = T_2$
  • B
    String $AC$ will remain taut only if $\omega \geq \sqrt{g/l}$
  • C
    String $BC$ will remain taut for any value of $\omega$.
  • D
    $T_1 - T_2 = 2mg$
