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).

$A$ body initially at rest and sliding along a frictionless track from a height $h$ (as shown in the figure) just completes a vertical circle of diameter $AB = D$. The height $h$ is equal to

$A$ 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.

$A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ passes through a pendulum bob of mass $M$ and emerges with a velocity $v/2$. What is the minimum value of $v$ so that the pendulum bob completes a full vertical circle of length $\ell$?

$A$ body of mass $m$ connected to a massless and unstretchable string moves in a vertical circle of radius $R$ under gravity $g$. The other end of the string is fixed at the center of the circle. If the velocity at the top of the circular path is $n\sqrt{gR}$,where $n \geq 1$,then the ratio of the kinetic energy of the body at the bottom to that at the top of the circle is:

$A$ 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, $(g=10 \,m/s^2)$
