Q.

A uniform rope of length l is held motionless on a frictionless hemisphere of radius r with one end of the rope at the top of the hemisphere. The hemisphere is made immobile by gluing it on a horizontal floor. The rope is now released. Immediately after the rope is released

a

If just sufficient uniform coefficient of friction is present between rope and hemisphere to prevent sliding of rope, then tension developed in rope at all points is zero.

b

The angular position measured from horizontal where maximum tensile force is developed is   cos1(rl(1coslr))

c

Minimum coefficient of friction required between rope & hemisphere to prevent slipping of rope is tan l2r. Ignore any component of Rope Tension in radial direction.

d

Only the weight of corresponding vertical projection of string length is effectively responsible to cause the acceleration of rope.

answer is A, B, D.

I) Initial tangential acceleration of all elements will be same for the element of mass dm:
(T+dT)+(dm)gsinθT=(dm)atdT+(mlrdθ)gsinθ=mlrdθat
Integrating between 1 and 2
Question Image
T1T2dT+mlrgol/rsinθdθ=mlratol/rdθ
(T2T1)+mlrg(1coslr)=mlratlr
But at free ends tension is zero
T1=T2=0                                      at=rgl(1coslr)     
II) Integrating between 1 and  θ
(TO)+mlrg(1cosθ)=mrl[rgl(1coslr)]θ
Differentiating w.r.t θ :
dTdθ+O+mrl[rgl(1coslr)]
For  Tmax'dTdθ=o                               sinθ=rl(1coslr)       
α=90θαcos1(rl(1coslr))
D) To prevent slipping 
Ffriction=Fweight
μ(ml)g(r)sinα=(ml)(r)(1cosα)g
μ=1cosαsinα                                                  [α=lr]
=tan(α2)
