Vedclass · Answer

(B) For completing a vertical circle,the minimum velocity at the highest point is $v = \sqrt{gL}$.When the string breaks at the highest point,the body acts as a projectile launched horizontally from a height $h = 2L$ (the diameter of the circle).The time taken to reach the ground is given by $t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$.Substituting $h = 2L$,we get $t = \sqrt{\frac{2(2L)}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{4L}{g}} = 2\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$.The horizontal range $x$ is given by the product of horizontal velocity and time: $x = v 	imes t$.Substituting the values,$x = \sqrt{gL} 	imes 2\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} = 2\sqrt{gL 	imes \frac{L}{g}} = 2\sqrt{L^2} = 2L$.
