Two particles and start their journey simultaneously from point . moves along a smooth horizontal circular wire with diameter . moves along a curved smooth track. has sufficient velocity at to reach always remaining in contact with the curved track. At , the horizontal component of velocity of is same as the velocity of along the wire. The plane of motion is vertical. If , are times taken by and respectively to reach then (Assume velocity of is constant)




Important Questions on Circular Motion

A wire, which passes through the hole is a small bead, is bent in the form of a quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on the ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire, and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from to , the force it applies on the wire is
