$A$ stone tied to a string of length $L$ is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed $u$. The magnitude of the change in its velocity as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal is

  • A
    $\sqrt{u^2 - 2gL}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2gL}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{u^2 - gL}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2(u^2 - gL)}$

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is suspended at a point $O$ by a light string of length $l$ and is set to perform vertical circular motion as shown in the figure. Initially,by applying a horizontal velocity $v_0$ at point $A$,the string becomes slack when the bob reaches point $D$. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the bob at points $B$ and $C$ is:

$A$ small sphere of mass $m$ is suspended by a light and inextensible string of length $l$ from a point $O$ fixed on a smooth inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ with the horizontal. The sphere is moving in a circle on the incline as shown. If the sphere has a velocity $u$ at the top most position $A$, then:

The string of a pendulum of length $L$ is displaced through $90^{\circ}$ from the vertical and released. The maximum tension the string must withstand as the pendulum passes through the mean position is ($m =$ mass of the pendulum,$g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ 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 ........ $rad/s$.
