$A$ point mass '$m$' attached at one end of a massless,inextensible string of length '$\ell$' performs a vertical circular motion and the string rotates in a vertical plane,as shown in the diagram. The increase in the centripetal acceleration of the point mass when it moves from point $A$ to point $C$ is $(g = \text{acceleration due to gravity})$:

  • A
    $3g$
  • B
    $2g$
  • C
    $g$
  • D
    $\frac{g}{2}$

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended at a point $O$ by a light string of length $l$ and is set to perform vertical circular motion as shown in the figure. Initially,by applying a horizontal velocity $v_0$ at point $A$,the string becomes slack when the bob reaches point $D$. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the bob at points $B$ and $C$ is:

$A$ bucket tied at the end of a $1.6\, m$ long string is whirled in a vertical circle with constant speed. What should be the minimum speed so that the water from the bucket does not spill,when the bucket is at the highest position? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

$A$ body of mass $1\, kg$ is moving in a vertical circular path of radius $1\, m$. The difference between the kinetic energies at its highest and lowest position is ......... $J$.

$A$ steel wire can withstand a load up to $2940 \ N$. $A$ load of $150 \ kg$ is suspended from a rigid support. The maximum angle through which the wire can be displaced from the mean position,so that the wire does not break when the load passes through the position of equilibrium,is (in $^{\circ}$)
