Detailed Solution

 For circular motion, the radial acceleration, ar is given by v2R, and the tangential 

 acceleration, at is given by dvdt

 Since these accelerations are equal, so v2R=dvdt

 Hence, Rv2dv=dt

Rv2dv=dt

Upon integration

t=Rvv0v0v

 Now, v=dsdt

where, s is the length of the arc covered by the particle as it moves in the circle

 Therefore, t=Rv0Rddt

t=Rv0Rdtds

tds=Rv0Rdt

dsRv0t=Rdt

Upon integrating, and putting all initial condition

sR=lnRv0lnRv0t=lnRRv0t


For complete revolution, putting s=2πR, t=T

2πRR=lnRRv0T

T=RV01e2π
