$A$ particle starts sliding from the top of a sphere of diameter $42 \, m$. At what height from the bottom of the sphere will the particle lose contact with the sphere?

$A$ 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 $\ell$?

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is tied to a string of length $l$. What is the minimum kinetic energy that must be provided to the bob at the lowest point so that it completes a full vertical circle (in $;mgl$)?

$A$ bucket tied at the end of a $1.6\, m$ long string is whirled in a vertical circle with constant speed. What should be the minimum speed so that the water from the bucket does not spill,when the bucket is at the highest position? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

$A$ simple pendulum consisting of a light inextensible string of length $\ell$ attached to a heavy small bob of mass $m$ is at rest. The bob is imparted a horizontal impulsive force which gives it a speed of $u = \sqrt{4 g \ell}$. The speed of the bob at its highest point is ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ block of mass $m$ is given a velocity $20\ m/s$ on a horizontal rough surface of length $x\ m$. After the rough surface,there is a vertical circular path of radius $R = 2\ m$ which is frictionless. The block enters the circular path with the minimum velocity required to complete the path. Find the length of the rough surface $x$ if the coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.5$.
