You may have seen in a circus a motorcyclist driving in vertical loops inside a 'death well' (a hollow spherical chamber with holes,so the spectators can watch from outside). Explain clearly why the motorcyclist does not drop down when he is at the uppermost point,with no support from below. What is the minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop if the radius of the chamber is $25 \; m$?

$A$ simple pendulum has a length of $75 \, cm$. It describes a vertical semi-circle. What will be the velocity of the bob when it passes through the mean position?

The maximum value attained by the tension in the string of a swinging pendulum is four times the minimum value it attains. There is no slack in the string. The angular amplitude of the pendulum is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ weightless thread can support a tension of up to $30 \, N$. $A$ stone of mass $0.5 \, kg$ is tied to it and is revolved in a circular path of radius $2 \, m$ in a vertical plane. If $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,then the maximum angular velocity of the stone will be ........ $rad/s$.

$A$ 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,$g=10$ $m/s^2$]
