  • A
    $\sqrt{2gR}$
  • B
    $2gR$
  • C

$A$ block of mass $m$ is given a velocity $20\ m/s$ on a horizontal rough surface of length $x\ m$. After the rough surface,there is a vertical circular path of radius $R = 2\ m$ which is frictionless. The block enters the circular path with the minimum velocity required to complete the path. Find the length of the rough surface $x$ if the coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.5$.

$A$ body of mass $m$ attached at the end of a string is just completing the loop in a vertical circle. The apparent weight of the body at the lowest point in its path is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).

$A$ stone of mass $m$ $kg$ is tied to a string of length $L$ $m$ and moved in a vertical circle of radius $49$ $cm$ in a vertical plane. If it completes $30$ revolutions per minute,the tension in the string when it is at the lowermost point is nearly. [Take $\pi^2=10$ and acceleration due to gravity,$g=10$ $m/s^2$]

$A$ $2 \, kg$ stone at the end of a string $1 \, m$ long is whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The speed of the stone is $4 \, ms^{-1}$. The tension in the string will be $52 \, N$ when the stone is
