In the figure shown, there is a smooth tube of radius `R`, fixed in the vertical plane. A ball `B` of mass `m` is released from the top of the tube. `B` slides down due to gravity and compresses the spring is fixed and end `A` is free., Initially, line `OA` makes an angle `60^@` with `OC` and finally it makes an angle of `30^@` after compression. Find the spring constant of the spring.

A

`(12mg(2+sqrt(3)))/(pi^(2)R)`

B

`(36mg(2+sqrt(3)))/(pi^(2)R)`

C

`(16m)/(pi^(2)g)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
By energy conservation
`mgR(1+cos30^@)=1/2k((piR)/6)^2`
`implies k=(36mg(3+sqrt3))/(pi^2R)`
