A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is

A

always radially outwards

B

always radially inwards

C

radially outwards initially and radially inwards later

D

radially inwards initially and radially outwards later.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When bead is at `A`, the force it applies on the wire is redially inwards. When it reaches at `B`, it strikes the surface and pushed outwards. Thus, force is radially outwards.
