- A body of mass \( m \) connected to a massless and unstretchable string goes in a vertical circle of radius \( R \) under gravity \( g \). The other end of the string is fixed at the center of the circle. If velocity at the top of the circular path is \( v = \sqrt{ngR} \), where \( n \geq 1 \), then the ratio of kinetic energy of the body at bottom to that at top of the circle is:
