$A$ small sphere of mass $m$ is suspended by a light and inextensible string of length $l$ from a point $O$ fixed on a smooth inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ with the horizontal. The sphere is moving in a circle on the incline as shown. If the sphere has a velocity $u$ at the top most position $A$, then:

  • A
    the tension in the string as the sphere passes the $90^o$ position $B$ is equal to $m\left( \frac{u^2}{l} + g \sin \theta \right)$
  • B
    the tension in the string at the bottom most position $C$ is equal to $m\left( \frac{u^2}{l} + 5g \sin \theta \right)$
  • C
    the tension in the string as the sphere passes the $90^o$ position $B$ is equal to $m\left( \frac{u^2}{l} - 3g \sin \theta \right)$
  • D
    the tension in the string at the bottom most position $C$ is equal to $m\left( \frac{u^2}{l} - 5g \sin \theta \right)$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is released from a height $H$ on a smooth curved surface which ends into a vertical loop of radius $R$,as shown. If $\theta$ is the instantaneous angle which the line joining the particle and the centre of the loop makes with the vertical,then identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the normal reaction $N$ between the block and the surface.

$A$ body of mass $0.4\, kg$ is whirled in a vertical circle making $2\, rev/sec$. If the radius of the circle is $2\, m$,then tension in the string when the body is at the top of the circle,is ......... $N$.

$A$ stone of mass $150 \ g$ moves in a vertical circle at the end of a string. The radius of the circle is $70 \ cm$ and the speed of the stone at the topmost point $P$ is $3.5 \ m/s$. For the instant at which the stone passes through the highest point $P$,the centripetal force is nearly ......... $N$ (take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$).

$A$ 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.
