$A$ light rigid wire of length $1 \,m$ is attached to a ball of mass $500 \,g$ at one end. The other end of the wire is fixed, so that the wire can rotate freely in the vertical plane about its fixed end. At the lowest point of the circular motion, the ball is given a horizontal velocity of $6 \,m/s$. Determine the radial component of the acceleration of the ball when this rigid wire makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the upward vertical. (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m/s^2$)

In the case of vertical circular motion of a particle attached to a thread of length $r$, if the tension in the thread is zero at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure, the velocity at the bottom point $(A)$ of the circular path is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).

$A$ body crosses the topmost point of a vertical circle with critical speed. Its centripetal acceleration,when the string is horizontal,will be

$A$ small body slides down a smooth uneven surface from a height $H$,which eventually emerges into a circular loop of radius $R (< H)$. What should be the value of $H$,so that the force on the body at $A$ is $\sqrt{2}$ times its weight?

$A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ passes through a pendulum bob of mass $M$ and emerges with a velocity $v/2$. What is the minimum value of $v$ so that the pendulum bob completes a full vertical circle of length $\ell$?
