Question

A particle originally at a rest at the highest point of a smooth circle in a vertical plane, is gently pushed and starts sliding along the circle. It will leave the circle at a vertical distance h below the highest point such that

  1. h equals 2 R    
  2. h equals fraction numerator R over denominator 2 end fraction    
  3. h equals R    
  4. h equals fraction numerator R over denominator 3 end fraction    

The correct answer is: h equals fraction numerator R over denominator 3 end fraction


    From law of conservation of energy, potential energy of fall gets converted to kinetic energy.

    therefore blank P E equals K E
    m g h equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction m v to the power of 2 end exponent
    o r blank v equals square root of 2 g h end root blank open parentheses i close parentheses
    Also, the horizontal component of force is equal centrifugal force.
    therefore blank m g cos invisible function application theta equals fraction numerator m v to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator R end fraction blank open parentheses i i close parentheses
    From Eq. (i)
    therefore blank m g cos invisible function application theta equals fraction numerator 2 m g h over denominator R end fraction blank open parentheses i i i close parentheses
    From increment A O B comma
    cos invisible function application theta equals fraction numerator left parenthesis R minus h over denominator R end fraction
    ⟹ m g open parentheses fraction numerator open parentheses R minus h close parentheses over denominator R end fraction close parentheses equals fraction numerator 2 m g h over denominator R end fraction
    ⟹ blank 3 h equals R
    ⟹ h equals fraction numerator R over denominator 3 end fraction
