A smooth circular groove has a smooth vertical wall as shown in figure. A block of mass m moves against the wall with a speed v. Which of the following curve represents the correct relation between the normal reaction on the block by the wall (N) and speed of the block (v)?
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
\(N=\frac {mv^2}{r}\)
Therefore, the graph given in option A suits the best for the above relation.
So, the correct option is (A).

Concepts Used:
Motion in a Plane
It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions.
Equations of Plane Motion
The equations of motion in a straight line are:
v=u+at
s=ut+½ at2
v2-u2=2as
Where,
- v = final velocity of the particle
- u = initial velocity of the particle
- s = displacement of the particle
- a = acceleration of the particle
- t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
