A collar of mass is constrained to move along a horizontal smooth and fixed circular track of radius . The spring lying in the plane of the circular track and having spring constant is undeformed when the collar is at . If the collar starts from rest at , the normal reaction exerted by the track on the collar when it passes through is



Important Questions on Circular Motion
A mass starting from reaches of a frictionless track. On reaching , it pushes the track with a force equal to times its weight, then the applicable relation is

Figure shows a smooth vertical circular track of radius . A block slides along the surface when it is given a velocity equal to at point . The ratio of the force exerted by the track on the block at point to that at point is:

A bead of mass is released from rest at to move along the fixed smooth circular track as shown in the figure. The ratio of magnitudes of centripetal force and normal reaction by the track on the bead at any point described by the angle would

Two bodies of masses and are attached to a light string as shown in figure. A body of mass hanging from string is executing oscillations with angular amplitude , while other body is at rest on a horizontal surface. The minimum coefficient of friction between mass and the horizontal surface is (here pulley is light and smooth)

Ball of mass , after sliding from an inclined plane, strikes elastically another ball of same mass at rest. Find the minimum height so that ball just completes the circular motion of the surface at . (All surfaces are smooth.)


Two particles describe the same circle of radius in the same direction with the same speed , then at the given instant relative angular velocity of with respect to will be

A block slides down a curved frictionless track, starting from rest. The curve obeys the equation . The tangential acceleration of the block is
