Q.

A thin circular wire of radius R rotates about its vertical diameter with an angular frequency ω. Show that a small bead on the wire remains at its lowermost point for ωg/R. What is angle made by the radius vector joining the centre to the bead with the vertical downward direction for ω=2g/R ? Neglect friction.

Detailed Solution

Ncosθ=mg

A thin circular loop of radius R rotates about its class 11 physics CBSE

Nsinθ=mrω2=m(Rsinθ)ω2

Dividing these two equations, we get

cosθ=g2

ω=gRcosθ

At lowermost point, θ=0°

ω=gR

Substituting ω=2g/R in Eq. (i), we have

cosθ=12

θ=60°
