In vertical circular motion of a bob,match the entries of List-$I$ with entries of List-$II$. Here,$v_0$ is the velocity of the bob at the lowest point.
List-$I$ (Speed at lowest point) List-$II$ (Possible situation)
$(P) v_0 = \sqrt{5 g \ell}$ $(1)$ Tension at lowest point $= 6 mg$
$(Q) v_0 = \sqrt{g \ell}$ $(2)$ String will slack for a finite time
$(R) v_0 = 2 \sqrt{g \ell}$ $(3)$ Bob will oscillate
$(S) v_0 = 3 \sqrt{g \ell}$ $(4)$ Tension at highest point $= 4 mg$

$A$ 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.

In order to just complete the vertical circular motion,the ratio of kinetic energy of a particle at the highest point to that at the lowest point is

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended by a light string of length $L$. It is imparted a minimum horizontal velocity at the lowest point $A$ such that it just completes a full vertical circle,reaching the topmost position $B$. The ratio of kinetic energies $\frac{(\text{K.E.})_A}{(\text{K.E.})_B}$ is:

You may have seen in a circus a motorcyclist driving in vertical loops inside a 'death well' (a hollow spherical chamber with holes,so the spectators can watch from outside). Explain clearly why the motorcyclist does not drop down when he is at the uppermost point,with no support from below. What is the minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop if the radius of the chamber is $25 \; m$?
