  • A
    $m^2v^2 / 2M^2g$
  • B
    $m^2v^2 / 8M^2g$
  • C
    $mv^2 / 4Mg$
  • D
    $mv^2 / 2Mg$

$A$ bead of mass $m$ slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring of constant $k$ attached to the bottom of the hoop. The natural (equilibrium) length of the spring is $R$. If the bead is released from the top of the hoop with negligible initial speed,what is the velocity of the bead when the length of the spring becomes $R$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
