The correct Answer is:
To determine the velocity at the lowest point of a vertical circle that will cause a particle to leave the circle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: - We have a particle moving in a vertical circle of radius \( r \). - We need to find the minimum velocity at the lowest point (point A) such that the particle will leave the circular path. 2. **Identify Key Points**: - The lowest point of the circle is point A. - The highest point of the circle is point B. - The particle will leave the circle if it does not have enough velocity to reach the highest point. 3. **Velocity at the Highest Point**: - For a particle to just reach the highest point (point B) of the vertical circle, it must have a minimum velocity \( v_B \) at that point. - At the highest point, the centripetal force required to keep the particle in circular motion is provided by the weight of the particle. Therefore: \[ \frac{mv_B^2}{r} = mg \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ v_B^2 = gr \quad \Rightarrow \quad v_B = \sqrt{gr} \] 4. **Energy Conservation**: - We can use the conservation of mechanical energy to find the velocity at the lowest point (point A). - The total mechanical energy at the lowest point (potential energy + kinetic energy) must equal the total mechanical energy at the highest point. - At the lowest point (point A): - Potential energy \( U_A = 0 \) (taking this as the reference point) - Kinetic energy \( K_A = \frac{1}{2} mv_A^2 \) - At the highest point (point B): - Potential energy \( U_B = mg(2r) \) (height is \( 2r \)) - Kinetic energy \( K_B = \frac{1}{2} mv_B^2 \) 5. **Setting Up the Energy Equation**: - Using conservation of energy: \[ K_A + U_A = K_B + U_B \] \[ \frac{1}{2} mv_A^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2} mv_B^2 + mg(2r) \] 6. **Substituting for \( v_B \)**: - Substitute \( v_B = \sqrt{gr} \) into the energy equation: \[ \frac{1}{2} mv_A^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(gr) + mg(2r) \] \[ \frac{1}{2} mv_A^2 = \frac{1}{2} mgr + 2mgr \] \[ \frac{1}{2} mv_A^2 = \frac{1}{2} mgr + \frac{4}{2} mgr = \frac{5}{2} mgr \] 7. **Solving for \( v_A \)**: - Multiply both sides by 2: \[ mv_A^2 = 5mgr \] - Divide by \( m \): \[ v_A^2 = 5gr \] - Taking the square root: \[ v_A = \sqrt{5gr} \] 8. **Conclusion**: - The minimum velocity at the lowest point for the particle to leave the vertical circle is: \[ v_A = \sqrt{5gr} \] ### Final Answer: The particle will leave the vertical circle when its velocity at the lowest point is \( \sqrt{5gr} \).
