A string of negligible mass going over a clamped pulley of mass supports a block of mass as shown in the figure. The force on the pulley by the clamp is given by


A small block slides with velocity on the horizontal frictionless surface as shown in the Figure. The block leaves the surface at point . The angle in the Figure is :


A particle is moving in the vertical plane. It is attached at one end of a string of length I whose other end is fixed. The velocity at the lowest point is . The tension in the string is and acceleration of the particle is at any position. Then, is zero at the highest point.
In the above question, is non-negative at the lowest point for

A particle is moving in a circular path on the vertical plane. It is attached at one end of a string of length I whose other end is fixed. The velocity of the particle at the lowest point is . The tension in the string is and the acceleration of the particle is at any position. Then, is zero at the highest point if

A bob of mass is suspended by a massless string of length . The horizontal velocity at position is just sufficient to make it reach the point . The angle at which the speed of the bob is half of that at , satisfies
