Q.

A stone is tied to a string of length 'l' and is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string as the centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed 'u'. The magnitude of the change in velocity as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal ( g being acceleration due to gravity) is

Question Image

Applying the law of conservation of energy at points B and A, we have

12mu2=12mv2+mgl

or      V=u2−2gl        …(1)

This magnitude of change of velocity figure is given by 

Question Image

|Δv|=|v−u|=v2+u2−2uvcos⁡90∘=v2+u2       ....(2)

From eqs, (1) and (2), we get

|Δv|=u2−2gl+u2=2u2−gl
