A small bob tied at one end of a thin string of length 1m1m is describing a vertical circle so that the maximum and minimum tension in the string is in the ratio 5:15: 1. The velocity of the bob at the highest position is ______ ms−1m{s}^{- 1}. (Take g=10ms−2g = 10m{s}^{- 2})A small bob tied at one end of a thin string of length 1m is describing a vertical circle so that the maximum and

Step-by-step solution

Let the speed of bob at lowest position be v1{v}_{1} and at the highest position be v2{v}_{2}.

Maximum tension is at lowest position and minimum tension is at the highest position.
Now, using, conservation of mechanical energy,

12mv12=12mv22+mg2l\dfrac{1}{2}m{v}_{1}^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}_{2}^{2} + mg2l

⇒v12=v22+4gl....(1)⇒ {v}_{1}^{2} = {v}_{2}^{2} + 4gl . . . . \left(1\right)

Now, {T}_\max - mg = \dfrac{m{v}_{1}^{2}}{l}

⇒ {T}_\max = mg + \dfrac{m{v}_{1}^{2}}{l}

\text{ and } {T}_\min + mg = \dfrac{m{v}_{2}^{2}}{l}

⇒ {T}_\min = \dfrac{m{v}_{2}^{2}}{l} - mg

\dfrac{{T}_\max}{{T}_\min} = \dfrac{5}{1}

⇒mg+mv12lmv22l−mg=51⇒ \dfrac{mg + \dfrac{m{v}_{1}^{2}}{l}}{\dfrac{m{v}_{2}^{2}}{l} - mg} = \dfrac{5}{1}

⇒mg+mv12l=[mv22l−mg]5⇒ mg + \dfrac{m{v}_{1}^{2}}{l} = \left[\dfrac{m{v}_{2}^{2}}{l} - mg\right]5

⇒mg+ml[v22+4gl]=5mv22l−5mg⇒ mg + \dfrac{m}{l}\left[{v}_{2}^{2} + 4gl\right] = \dfrac{5m{v}_{2}^{2}}{l} - 5mg

⇒mg+mv22l+4mg=5mv22l−5mg⇒ mg + \dfrac{m{v}_{2}^{2}}{l} + 4mg = \dfrac{5m{v}_{2}^{2}}{l} - 5mg

⇒10mg=4mv22l⇒ 10mg = \dfrac{4m{v}_{2}^{2}}{l}

v2=10×10×14{v}_{2} = \dfrac{10 \times 10 \times 1}{4}

Thus, the velocity of the bob at the highest position is 5ms−1.5m{s}^{- 1} .
