Important Questions on Motion in a Vertical Circle

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A particle tied to a string describes a vertical circular motion of radius r continually. If it has a velocity 3gr at the highest point, then the ratio of the respective tensions in the string holding it at the highest and lowest points is

A bridge is in the form of a semi-circle of radius 40 m. The greatest speed with which a motorcycle can cross the bridge without leaving the ground at the highest point is g=10 m s-2 (frictional force is negligibly small)

A small body of mass m slides down from the top of a hemisphere of radius r. The surface of the block and hemisphere are frictionless.

IMPORTANT

A body of mass m is rotated in a vertical circle of radius r. The minimum velocity of the body at the topmost position for the string to remain just stretched is

IMPORTANT

A particle rests on the top of a hemisphere of radius R. Find the smallest horizontal velocity that must be imparted to the particle if it is to leave the hemisphere without sliding down is

EASY
IMPORTANT

A sphere is suspended by a thread of length l. What minimum horizontal velocity has to be imparted to the sphere for it to reach the height of the suspension?

A block of mass m at the end of a string is whirled round in a vertical circle of radius r. The critical speed of the block at the top of its swing below which the string would slacken before the block reaches the top is
