$A$ particle of mass $m$ is released from a height $H$ on a smooth curved surface which ends into a vertical loop of radius $R$,as shown. Choose the correct alternative$(s)$ if $H = 2R$.

  • A
    The particle reaches the top of the loop with zero velocity.
  • B
    The particle cannot reach the top of the loop.
  • C
    The particle breaks off at a height $R < h < 2R$.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$.

$A$ stone of mass $m$ tied to the end of a string revolves in a vertical circle of radius $R$. The net forces at the lowest and highest points of the circle directed vertically downwards are:
Lowest PointHighest Point
$(a) \ mg - T_1$$mg + T_2$
$(b) \ mg + T_1$$mg - T_2$
$(c) \ mg + T_1 - \frac{mv_1^2}{R}$$mg - T_2 + \frac{mv_2^2}{R}$
$(d) \ mg - T_1 - \frac{mv_1^2}{R}$$mg + T_2 + \frac{mv_2^2}{R}$

$T_1$ and $v_1$ denote the tension and speed at the lowest point. $T_2$ and $v_2$ denote corresponding values at the highest point.

$A$ stone of mass $900 \,g$ is tied to a string and moved in a vertical circle of radius $1 \,m$ making $10 \,rpm$. The tension in the string, when the stone is at the lowest point is (if $\pi^2=9.8$ and $g=9.8 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,N$)

In order to just complete the vertical circular motion,the ratio of kinetic energy of a particle at the highest point to that at the lowest point is

Concrete mixture is made by mixing cement,stone,and sand in a rotating cylindrical drum. If the drum rotates too fast,the ingredients remain stuck to the wall of the drum and proper mixing of ingredients does not take place. The maximum rotational speed of the drum in revolutions per minute (rpm) to ensure proper mixing is close to (Take the radius of the drum to be $1.25\, m$ and its axle to be horizontal).

$A$ particle originally at rest at the highest point of a smooth vertical circle is slightly displaced. It will leave the circle at a vertical distance $h$ below the highest point,such that
