Kinematics Question 803

Question: A particle describes a horizontal circle in a conical funnel whose inner surface it’s smooth with speed of 0.5 m/s. What is the height of the plane of circle from vertex of the funnel ? [J&K CET 2005]

Options:

A)0.25 cm

B) 2 cm

C) 4 cm

D) 2.5 cm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The particle is moving in circular path , mg=Rsinθ -(i)  mv2r=Rcosθ -(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii) we get tanθ=rgv2 but tanθ=rh h=v2g=(0.5)210=0.025m=2.5cm
