$A$ 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.

$A$ small body slides down a smooth uneven surface from a height $H$,which eventually emerges into a circular loop of radius $R (< H)$. What should be the value of $H$,so that the force on the body at $A$ is $\sqrt{2}$ times its weight?

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).
