The correct Answer is:
To determine the necessary condition for a motorcyclist to not fall while going in a vertical circle, we need to analyze the forces acting on the motorcyclist and the motorcycle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Forces**: - When a motorcyclist is moving in a vertical circle, two main forces act on him: the gravitational force (weight) acting downwards and the centripetal force required to keep him moving in a circular path. 2. **Centripetal Force Requirement**: - For an object to move in a circle, it must have a net inward force acting towards the center of the circle. This is known as the centripetal force. The formula for centripetal force (\(F_c\)) is given by: \[ F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] where \(m\) is the mass of the motorcyclist, \(v\) is the velocity, and \(r\) is the radius of the circular path. 3. **Condition at the Top of the Circle**: - At the top of the vertical circle, the gravitational force contributes to the centripetal force. The condition for the motorcyclist to not fall at the top is: \[ mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] where \(N\) is the normal force. For the motorcyclist to just stay on the motorcycle without falling, \(N\) can be zero. Thus, the condition simplifies to: \[ mg = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] This implies: \[ v^2 = rg \] Therefore, the minimum speed \(v\) at the top of the circle must be: \[ v \geq \sqrt{rg} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - The necessary condition for the motorcyclist to not fall down while moving in a vertical circle is that he must maintain a speed greater than or equal to \(\sqrt{rg}\) at the top of the circle. ### Final Answer: The necessary condition for a motorcyclist to not fall down while going in a vertical circle is to maintain a speed of at least \(\sqrt{rg}\) at the top of the circle. ---
