$A$ body slides down a frictionless track which ends in a circular loop of diameter $D$. The minimum height $h$ of the body in terms of $D$ so that it may just complete the loop is:

  • A
    $h = \frac{5D}{2}$
  • B
    $h = \frac{5D}{4}$
  • C
    $h = \frac{3D}{4}$
  • D
    $h = \frac{D}{4}$

$A$ stone of mass $1\, kg$ tied to a light inextensible string of length $L = \frac{10}{3}\, m$ is whirling in a circular path of radius $L$ in a vertical plane. If the ratio of the maximum tension in the string to the minimum tension in the string is $4$ and if $g$ is taken to be $10\, m/s^2$,the speed of the stone at the highest point of the circle is ....... $m/s$.

$A$ bucket filled with water is tied to a rope of length $0.5 \,m$ and is rotated in a circular path in a vertical plane. The minimum velocity it should have at the lowest point of the circle so that the water does not spill is, $(g=10 \,m/s^2)$

In vertical circular motion of a bob,match the entries of List-$I$ with entries of List-$II$. Here,$v_0$ is the velocity of the bob at the lowest point.
List-$I$ (Speed at lowest point) List-$II$ (Possible situation)
$(P) v_0 = \sqrt{5 g \ell}$ $(1)$ Tension at lowest point $= 6 mg$
$(Q) v_0 = \sqrt{g \ell}$ $(2)$ String will slack for a finite time
$(R) v_0 = 2 \sqrt{g \ell}$ $(3)$ Bob will oscillate
$(S) v_0 = 3 \sqrt{g \ell}$ $(4)$ Tension at highest point $= 4 mg$
