Two beads $A$ and $B$ of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively are placed on a smooth vertical circular wire of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. Bead $A$ is given a very gentle push so that it slides down and collides with bead $B$ and comes to rest. After the collision,bead $B$ reaches the height of the center of the circle. Then $m_1 : m_2$ is equal to:

  • A
    $1 : \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $1 : 2$
  • C
    $1 : 4$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2} : 1$

$A$ bead of mass $m$ slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring of constant $k$ attached to the bottom of the hoop. The natural (equilibrium) length of the spring is $R$. If the bead is released from the top of the hoop with negligible initial speed,what is the velocity of the bead when the length of the spring becomes $R$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
