Question

A body initially at rest and sliding along a frictionless track from a height hh (as shown in the figure) just completes a vertical circle of diameter AB=DAB = D. The height hh is equal to

1

75D\frac{7}{5}D

2

D

3

32D\frac{3}{2}D

4

54D\frac{5}{4}D

Step-by-Step Solution

For a body to complete a vertical circle, the minimum velocity at the bottom of the circle is 5gR\sqrt{5gR}. Using conservation of energy, mgh=12mv2=12m(5gR)=52mgRmgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(5gR) = \frac{5}{2}mgR. Since D=2RD = 2R, h=54Dh = \frac{5}{4}D.
