$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended by a light string of length $L$. It is imparted a minimum horizontal velocity at the lowest point $A$ such that it just completes a full vertical circle,reaching the topmost position $B$. The ratio of kinetic energies $\frac{(\text{K.E.})_A}{(\text{K.E.})_B}$ is:

$A$ bucket filled with water is tied to a string of length $4 \ m$ and rotated in a vertical circle. To ensure that the water does not spill,the time period of rotation should be ........ $s$.

$A$ 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 $g=10\, m/s^2$).
