Question

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

Options

A.

32D

B.

D

C.

75D

D.

54D

Solution

To complete a vertical circle, speed at A should be
vA=5gR
using energy conservation
mgh =12mvA2
h=12vA2g=1 5g D2 g 2=       R=D2
h=5D4
