A small block of mass m is placed at the bottom of fixed circular smooth surface of radius R as shown in the figure If a velocity v. 14 gR is given to the block then maximum height from the bottom of circular surface, where block will leave the contact

Blocks of magnesium metal are often strapped to the steel hulls of ocean going ships in order to:

A small block A of mass m=5kg and charge 2xx10^(-7)C is kept on a fixed non conducting inclined plane whose inclination is theta=tan^(-1)(3//4) . The coefficient of friction between block A and inclined plane is mu=0.5 . Another charged small block B is fixed at the bottom of the inclined plane. The distance between A and B is l=3cm . If Q_(1) and Q_(2) are the magnitudes of the minimum and maximum values of charges of B for which the block A does not slide then find the value of (Q_(2))/(Q_(1)) . (Take g=10m//s^(2) )
