FrictionHard
Question
A bead of mass m is located on a parabolic wire with its axis vertical and vertex directed towards downward as in figure and whose equation is x2 = ay. If the coefficient of friction is μ, the highest distance above the x-axis at which the particle will be in equilibrium is
Options
A.μa
B.μ2a
C.1/4μ2a
D.1/2μ2a
Solution
