The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of the stone at the lowest point of its vertical circular motion, we can use the principle of conservation of energy or the work-energy theorem. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem - A stone is tied to a string of length \( l \) and rotates in a vertical circle. - The speed of the stone at the highest point is given as \( v \), where \( v > \sqrt{g l} \). ### Step 2: Identify the Forces at the Highest Point At the highest point of the circle: - The forces acting on the stone are the tension in the string \( T \) and the weight of the stone \( mg \). - The net centripetal force required to keep the stone in circular motion is provided by the sum of these forces: \[ T + mg = \frac{mv^2}{l} \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the Equation From the equation above, we can express the tension \( T \): \[ T = \frac{mv^2}{l} - mg \] ### Step 4: Determine the Conditions for Tension For the stone to complete the circular motion, the tension must be greater than or equal to zero: \[ \frac{mv^2}{l} - mg \geq 0 \implies v^2 \geq g l \implies v \geq \sqrt{g l} \] This condition is satisfied as given in the problem. ### Step 5: Apply the Work-Energy Theorem To find the speed at the lowest point, we will apply the work-energy theorem: - The work done by gravity when the stone moves from the highest point to the lowest point is equal to the change in kinetic energy. ### Step 6: Calculate the Change in Potential Energy The change in height from the highest point to the lowest point is \( 2l \): - The change in potential energy \( \Delta U \) is: \[ \Delta U = -mg(2l) = -2mgl \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Change in Kinetic Energy Let \( u \) be the speed of the stone at the lowest point. The change in kinetic energy \( \Delta K \) is: \[ \Delta K = K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2} mu^2 - \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] ### Step 8: Set Up the Work-Energy Equation According to the work-energy theorem: \[ \Delta U + \Delta K = 0 \] Substituting the expressions for \( \Delta U \) and \( \Delta K \): \[ -2mgl + \left(\frac{1}{2} mu^2 - \frac{1}{2} mv^2\right) = 0 \] ### Step 9: Simplify the Equation Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{2} mu^2 = 2mgl + \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Dividing through by \( m \) and multiplying by 2: \[ u^2 = 4gl + v^2 \] ### Step 10: Solve for \( u \) Taking the square root: \[ u = \sqrt{v^2 + 4gl} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the speed of the stone at the lowest point is: \[ u = \sqrt{v^2 + 4gl} \]
