$A$ 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
    $0$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{3} g \ell}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} g \ell}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{8}{27} g \ell}$

$A$ wire,which passes through the hole of a small bead,is bent in the form of a quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on the ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from $A$ to $B$,the force it applies on the wire is

$A$ 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
