प्रश्न
A particle is projected with a speed u at an angle θ with the horizontal. Consider a small part of its path near the highest position and take it approximately to be a circular arc. What is the radius of this circular circle? This radius is called the radius of curvature of the curve at the point.
उत्तर
At the highest point, the vertical component of velocity is zero.
So, at the highest point, we have:
velocity = v = ucosθ
Centripetal force on the particle = \[\frac{m v^2}{r}\]
\[\Rightarrow \frac{m v^2}{r} = \frac{m u^2 \cos^2 \theta}{r}\]
At the highest point, we have :
\[mg = \frac{m v^2}{r}\]
Here, r is the radius of curvature of the curve at the point.

You may have seen in a circus a motorcyclist driving in vertical loops inside a ‘death-well’ (a hollow spherical chamber with holes, so the spectators can watch from outside). Explain clearly why the motorcyclist does not drop down when he is at the uppermost point, with no support from below. What is the minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop if the radius of the chamber is 25 m?

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 45° with the horizontal, it takes time T.
