  • A
    The particle reaches the top of the loop with zero velocity.
  • B
    The particle cannot reach the top of the loop.
  • C
    The particle breaks off at a height $R < h < 2R$.
  • D

$A$ particle with charge $Q$ coulomb, tied at the end of an inextensible string of length $R$ metre, revolves in a vertical plane. At the centre of the circular trajectory, there is a fixed charge of magnitude $Q$ coulomb. The mass of the moving charge $M$ is such that $Mg = \frac{Q^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 R^2}$. If at the highest position of the particle, the tension of the string just vanishes, the horizontal velocity at the lowest point has to be

$A$ particle of mass $200 \,g$ is whirled in a vertical circle of radius $80 \,cm$ using a massless string. The speed of the particle when the string makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical line is $1.5 \,m/s$. The tension in the string at this position is ........... $N$.

$A$ stone of mass $1 \ kg$ is tied to a string $2 \ m$ long and is rotated at a constant speed of $40 \ ms^{-1}$ in a vertical circle. The ratio of the tension at the top and the bottom is [Take $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$].

$A$ stone of mass $2 \,kg$ tied to a light inextensible string of length $\frac{5}{3} \,m$ is whirling in a circular path in a vertical plane.
