  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}r$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}r$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$A$ small bob tied at one end of a thin string of length $1\, m$ is describing a vertical circle so that the maximum and minimum tension in the string are in the ratio $5: 1$. The velocity of the bob at the highest position is ............. $m/s$ (Take $g=10\, m/s^2$).

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended by a light string of length $L$. It is imparted a horizontal velocity $v_{o}$ at the lowest point $A$ such that it completes a circular trajectory in the vertical plane with the string becoming slack only on reaching the topmost point,$C$. This is shown in the figure. Obtain an expression for: $(i) v_{o}$; $(ii)$ the speeds at points $B$ and $C$; $(iii)$ the ratio of the kinetic energies $(K_{B} / K_{C})$ at $B$ and $C$. Comment on the nature of the trajectory of the bob after it reaches the point $C$.

An object is at the top of a smooth sphere which is kept fixed. As the object slides down after being given a negligible side push,what is the behavior of the magnitude of the acceleration of the object during its motion until it reaches the ground?

The minimum velocity $v$ required for a simple pendulum to complete one full rotation in a vertical plane is given. If the length of the string is reduced to one-fourth,what will be the new required velocity?

$A$ stone of mass $1 \ kg$ tied to a light inextensible string of length $L = \frac{5}{3} \ m$ is rotating in a circular path of radius $L$ in a vertical plane. If the ratio of maximum tension in the string to the minimum tension in the string is $3$,the speed of the stone at the highest point of the circle is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).
