$A$ small disc is placed on the top of a smooth hemisphere of radius $R$. What is the smallest horizontal velocity $v$ that should be given to the disc for it to leave the hemisphere immediately at the top and not slide down it? [There is no friction]

  • A
    $v = \sqrt {2gR} $
  • B
    $v = \sqrt {gR} $
  • C
    $v = \frac{g}{R}$
  • D
    $v = \sqrt {{g^2}R} $
