$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in a circular path of radius $r$ in a plane. Its angular momentum is $L$. The value of the centripetal force acting on the particle is:

  • A
    $L^2 / mr$
  • B
    $L^2 m / r$
  • C
    $L^2 / m^2 r^2$
  • D
    $L^2 / mr^3$

$A$ uniform chain of mass $m$ and length $L$ is originally placed mid-way on the top of a fixed smooth double-sided wedge. The length of each side of the wedge is $L$. It is then given a slight push. The kinetic energy of the chain when the whole chain has just slid to the left side of the wedge is:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is moving with speed $V$ along a circular path of radius $r$. Now,the speed is reduced to $\frac{V}{2}$ and the radius is increased to $3r$. For this change,the initial centripetal force needs to be:

$A$ particle is released on a vertical smooth semicircular track from point $X$ so that $OX$ makes an angle $\theta$ from the vertical (see figure). The normal reaction of the track on the particle vanishes at point $Y$ where $OY$ makes an angle $\phi$ with the horizontal. Then

Two particles of mass $m$ are constrained to move along two horizontal frictionless rails that make an angle $2\theta$ with respect to each other. They are connected by a spring with spring constant $k$. The angular frequency of small oscillations for the motion where the two masses always stay at the same distance from the meeting point of the rails is:
