$A$ simple pendulum with a bob of mass $m = 1 \ kg$, charge $q = 5 \ \mu C$ and string length $l = 1 \ m$ is given a horizontal velocity $u$ in a uniform electric field $E = 2 \times 10^6 \ V/m$ at its bottom-most point $A$, as shown in the figure. It is given a speed $u$ such that the particle leaves the circular path at its topmost point $C$. Find the speed $u$. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

  • A
    $\sqrt{40} \ m/s$
  • B
    $\sqrt{50} \ m/s$
  • C
    $\sqrt{35} \ m/s$
  • D

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended by a light string of length $l$. The bob is given a horizontal velocity $v_0$ as shown in the figure. If the string becomes slack at some point $P$ making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,the ratio of the speed $v_p$ of the bob at point $P$ to its initial speed $v_0$ is:

$A$ 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. If $\theta$ is the instantaneous angle which the line joining the particle and the centre of the loop makes with the vertical,then identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the normal reaction $N$ between the block and the surface.

$A$ block follows the path as shown in the figure from height $h$. If the radius of the circular path is $r$,then the relation that holds good to complete a full circle is

$A$ stone tied to a string of length $L$ is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed $u$. The magnitude of the change in its velocity as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal is

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended by a light string of length $L$. It is imparted a horizontal velocity $v_{o}$ at the lowest point $A$ such that it completes a circular trajectory in the vertical plane with the string becoming slack only on reaching the topmost point,$C$. This is shown in the figure. Obtain an expression for: $(i) v_{o}$; $(ii)$ the speeds at points $B$ and $C$; $(iii)$ the ratio of the kinetic energies $(K_{B} / K_{C})$ at $B$ and $C$. Comment on the nature of the trajectory of the bob after it reaches the point $C$.
