$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in a circular path of radius $r$ in a plane. Its angular momentum is $L$. The value of the centripetal force acting on the particle is:

  • A
    $L^2 / mr$
  • B
    $L^2 m / r$
  • C

One end of a massless spring of spring constant $k$ and natural length $l_{0}$ is fixed,while the other end is connected to a small object of mass $m$ lying on a frictionless table. The spring remains horizontal on the table. If the object is made to rotate at an angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis passing through the fixed end,then the elongation of the spring will be

$A$ thin circular loop of radius $R$ rotates about its vertical diameter with an angular frequency $\omega$. Show that a small bead on the wire loop remains at its lowermost point for $\omega \leq \sqrt{g / R}$. What is the angle made by the radius vector joining the centre to the bead with the vertical downward direction for $\omega = \sqrt{2g / R}$? Neglect friction.
