D zero
Answer :   $$m\omega _0^2r$$

22. One end of the string of length $$l$$ is connected to a particle of mass $$m$$ and the other end is connected to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in circle with speed $$v,$$ the net force on the particle (directed towards center) will be ($$T$$ represents the tension in the string)

A $$T$$
B $$T + \frac{{m{v^2}}}{l}$$
