Laws Of Motion Question 390

Question: A bead of mass m is located on a parabolic wire with its axis vertical and vertex directed towards downward as in figure and whose equation isx2=ay . If the coefficient of friction is M1 the highest distance above the x-axis at which the particle will be in equilibrium is

Options:

A) μa

B) μ2a

C) 14μ2a

D) 12μa

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

For the sliding not to occur when =12(4M3)R2[12(M3)(R2)2+(R2)2]=1324MR2

tanθ=dydx=2xa=2aya=2ya

2yaμ or yaμ24
