$A$ wire,which passes through the hole of a small bead,is bent in the form of a quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on the ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from $A$ to $B$,the force it applies on the wire is

  • A
    always radially outwards
  • B
    always radially inwards
  • C
    radially outwards initially and radially inwards later.
  • D
    radially inwards initially and radially outwards later.

$A$ light rigid wire of length $1 \,m$ is attached to a ball of mass $500 \,g$ at one end. The other end of the wire is fixed, so that the wire can rotate freely in the vertical plane about its fixed end. At the lowest point of the circular motion, the ball is given a horizontal velocity of $6 \,m/s$. Determine the radial component of the acceleration of the ball when this rigid wire makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the upward vertical. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m/s^2$)

$A$ stone tied to a string is rotated in a vertical circle. The minimum speed with which the string has to be rotated at the lowest point is:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is suspended from a string of length $l$. What is the minimum horizontal velocity that should be given to the body in its lowest position so that it may complete one full revolution in a vertical plane with the point of suspension as the center of the circle?

Consider a particle moving with a minimum speed $v$ at the highest point of a vertical circle of radius $R$. If the radius of the circle is doubled, the corresponding minimum speed will be:
