A particle of mass 5kg is free to slide ...

A particle of mass `5kg` is free to slide on a smooth ring of radius `r=20cm` fixed in a vertical plane. The particle is attached to one end of a spring whose other end is fixed to the top point O of the ring. Initially, the particle is at rest at a point A of the ring such that `/_OCA=60^@`, C being the centre of the ring. The natural length of the spring is also equal to `r=20cm`. After the particle is released and slides down the ring, the contact force between the particle and the ring becomes zero when it reaches the lowest position B. Determine the force constant `(i n xx 10^2Nm^-1)` of the spring.

A bead of mass m can slide without friction along a vertical ring of radius R. One end of a spring of force constant k=(3mg)/(R ) is connected to the bead and the other end is fixed at the centre of the ring. Initially, the bead is at the point A and due to a small push it starts sliding down the ring. If the bead momentarily loses contact with the ring at the instant when the spring makes an angle 60^(@) with the vertical, then the natural length of the spring is
