For a particle moving in a vertical circle,the total energy at different positions along the path (the motion is under gravity) is:

  • A
    may increase or decrease.
  • B
    decreases.
  • C
    is conserved.
  • D
    increases.

$A$ mass attached to one end of a string crosses the topmost point on a vertical circle with critical speed. Its centripetal acceleration when the string becomes horizontal will be ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).

$A$ particle is moving in a vertical circle. The tensions in the string when passing through two positions at angles $30^\circ$ and $60^\circ$ from the vertical (lowest position) are $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. Then:

$A$ bob of mass $M$ is suspended by a massless string of length $L$. The horizontal velocity $V$ at position $A$ is just sufficient to make it reach the point $B$. The angle $\theta$ at which the speed of the bob is half of that at $A$, satisfies:

In a vertical circle of radius $r$,at what point in its path does a particle have tension equal to zero if it is just able to complete the vertical circle?
