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

A

B

`(3R)/(4)`

C

`(5R)/(6)`

A bead of mass m can slide without friction on a fixed circular horizontal ring of radius 3R having a centre at the point C. The bead is attached to one of the ends of spring of spring constant k. Natural length of spring is R and the other end of the spring is R and the other end of the spring is fixed at point O as shown in the figure. If the bead is released from position A, then the kinetic energy of the bead when it reaches point B is

A ring of mass m can slide over a smooth vertical rod as shown in figure. The ring is connected to a spring of force constant k = 4 mg//R , where 2R is the natural length of the spring .

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.
