Q.

A body of mass 100 g is moving in circular path of radius 2 m on vertical plane as shown in figure. The velocity of the body at point A is 10 m/s. The ratio of its kinetic energies at point B and C is:         [2025]

(Take acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2)

1 2+33  
2 2+23  
3 3+32  
4 3–22

12m×100+0=12mVB2+mg(R–R32)

100=VB2+2gR(1–32)

VB2=100–20(2–3)

⇒ VB2=60+203

K.E.B=12mVB2=m2(60+203)                                   ...(i)

12m(100)=12mVC2+mg(3R2)

100=VC2+60

VC2=40

K.E.C=12mVC2=12m(40)

⇒ KBKC=(VBVC)2=3+32
