A conical pendulum of length $1\,m$ makes an angle $\theta = 45^{\circ}$ w.r.t. $Z-axis$ and moves in a circle in the $XY$ plane. The radius of the circle is $0.4 \,m$ and its center is vertically below $O$. The speed of the pendulum, in its circular path, will be : (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)
- 0.4 m/s
- 4 m/s
- 0.2 m/s
- 2 m/s
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
$T$ cos $\theta=\frac{v^{2}}{rg}$
tan $\theta=\frac{v^{2}}{rg}$
$\theta=45^{\circ}$
$v^{2}=rg$
$\upsilon=\sqrt{rg}=\sqrt{0.4\times10}$
$=2$ m/s

A bead of mass \( m \) slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius \( R \) as shown in figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring \( k \) attached to the bottom of the hoop. The equilibrium length of the spring is \( R \). If the bead is released from the top of the hoop with (negligible) zero initial speed, the velocity of the bead, when the length of spring becomes \( R \), would be (spring constant is \( k \), \( g \) is acceleration due to gravity):

Concepts Used:
Laws of Motion
The laws of motion, which are the keystone of classical mechanics, are three statements that defined the relationships between the forces acting on a body and its motion. They were first disclosed by English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton.
Newton’s First Law of Motion
Newton’s 1st law states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion until and unless a net external force acts on it.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Newton's 2nd law of motion deals with the relation between force and acceleration. According to the second law of motion, the acceleration of an object as built by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Newton's 3rd law of motion states when a body applies a force on another body that there is an equal and opposite reaction for every action.
