$A$ small disc is placed on the top of a smooth hemisphere of radius $R$. The smallest horizontal velocity $V$ that should be imparted to the disc so that it leaves the hemisphere surface immediately is (there is no friction):

  • A
    $V=\sqrt{g^2 R}$
  • B
    $V=\sqrt{2 g R}$
  • C
    $V=\sqrt{g R}$
  • D
    $V=\sqrt{g / R}$

$A$ thin circular loop of radius $R$ rotates about its vertical diameter with an angular frequency $\omega$. Show that a small bead on the wire loop remains at its lowermost point for $\omega \leq \sqrt{g / R}$. What is the angle made by the radius vector joining the centre to the bead with the vertical downward direction for $\omega = \sqrt{2g / R}$? Neglect friction.

One end of a string of length $l$ is connected to a particle of mass $m$ and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed $v$,the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is :
$(i) \; T$
$(ii) \; T - \frac{m v^{2}}{l}$
$(iii) \; T + \frac{m v^{2}}{l}$
$(iv) \; 0$
$T$ is the tension in the string. [Choose the correct alternative].
