$A$ particle is released on a vertical smooth semicircular track from point $X$ so that $OX$ makes an angle $\theta$ from the vertical (see figure). The normal reaction of the track on the particle vanishes at point $Y$ where $OY$ makes an angle $\phi$ with the horizontal. Then

  • A
    $\sin \phi = \cos \theta$
  • B
    $\sin \phi = \frac{1}{2} \cos \theta$
  • C
    $\sin \phi = \frac{2}{3} \cos \theta$
  • D
    $\sin \phi = \frac{3}{4} \cos \theta$

When a disc is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$,a particle situated at a distance of $4 \ cm$ just begins to slip. If the angular velocity is doubled,at what distance will the particle start to slip (in $cm$)?

$A$ particle rotates in a horizontal circle of radius $r$ in a conical funnel with speed $v$. The inner surface of the funnel is smooth. The height $h$ of the plane of the circle from the vertex of the funnel is (where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):

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
