$A$ body slides down a frictionless track which ends in a circular loop of diameter $D$. The minimum height $h$ of the body in terms of $D$ so that it may just complete the loop is:

  • A
    $h = \frac{5D}{2}$
  • B
    $h = \frac{5D}{4}$
  • C
    $h = \frac{3D}{4}$
  • D
    $h = \frac{D}{4}$

$A$ particle attached to a string of length $r$ is moving in a vertical circular path. If the speed of the particle at the highest point is $\sqrt{7gr}$,then the ratio of the tension in the string at the highest point to the tension at the lowest point is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ car starts from rest at height $H$ and moves along a track to complete a vertical loop of radius $r$. If the car just completes the loop,find the ratio $H/h$,where $h$ is the height of the loop above the starting point of the loop track.
