The kinetic energy $K$ of a particle moving along a circle of radius $R$ depends on the distance covered $s$ as $K = as^2$,where $a$ is a constant. The force acting on the particle is:

  • A
    $2a\frac{s^2}{R}$
  • B
    $2as\left(1 + \frac{s^2}{R^2}\right)^{1/2}$
  • C
    $2as$
  • D
    $2a\frac{R^2}{s}$
