Vertical Circular Motion

A small sphere is attached to a cord and rotates in a vertical circle about a point $O$. If the range speed of the sphere is increased, the cord is most likely to break at the orientation when the mass is at:

A small block is shot into each of the four smooth tracks as shown below. Each of the tracks rises to the same height. The speed with which the block enters the track is the same in all cases. At the highest point of the track, the normal reaction is maximum in

A point mass $\mathrm{M}$ is hanging by a string of length $\mathrm{l}.$ The velocity $v$ which must be imparted to it in order for it to just barely reach the top is

A pendulum is made of a rigid rod (mass $m,$ length $l$ ) and a small bob of mass $M$ attached at one end (as shown in the figure). The rod is pivoted on the other end. What should be the minimum speed of the bob at its lowest point so that the pendulum completes a full circle ?

What should be the minimum strength of the string to withstand the tension as the pendulum passes through the position of equilibrium? The mass of the pendulum is $m$.

A particle slides from the top of a smooth hemispherical surface of radius R which is fixed on a horizontal surface. If it separates from the hemisphere at a height h from the horizontal surface, then the speed of the particle is:

A particle is tied to a string describes a vertical circular motion of radius $r$ continually. If it has a velocity $\sqrt{3gr}$ at the highest point, then the ratio of the respective tensions in the string holding it at the highest and lowest points is

A particle is attached at one end of a string of length $l$ whose other end is fixed. It is moving in a circular path in the vertical plane such that at any position. The tension in the string is $T$ and the acceleration of the particle is $a$. The velocity of the particle at the lowest point is $u$.

Figure shows a small ring $\mathrm{P}$ is threaded on a smooth wire bent in the form of a circle of radius $a$ and centre $\mathrm{O}$. The wire is rotating with constant angular speed $\omega$ about a vertical diameter $\mathrm{XY}$, while the ring remains at rests relative to the wire at a distance $\frac{a}{2}$ from $\mathrm{XY}$.

A simple pendulum is made by suspending a bob with a light string. The bob is imparted a horizontal velocity such that it just completes full circular trajectory in vertical plane. What is the difference in tension between lowest and highest point of path?

 A pendulum has an angular amplitude $\theta$. Tensions in the string when the pendulum is at the extreme position and at the bottom are $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. If $T_2=2T_1$ , then $\theta$ is equal to :-
