Manipal MET2015PhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
A small particle of mass m is released from rest from point A inside a smooth hemispherical bowl as shown in the figure. The ratio (x) of magnitude of centripetal force and normal reaction on the particle at any point B varies with as
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
h=R Speed of the particle at point B , v^2=2 g h=2 R g Centripetal force, F= m v^2 R =2 m g ...(i) Equation of motion gives N-m g = m v^2 R =2 m g
