A bead of mass m stays at point P(a,b) on a wire bent in the shape of a parabola y=4cx2  and rotating with angular speed ω (see figure). The value of ω  is (neglect friction):

a
2gC
b
2gC
c
22gC
d
2gCab

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For particle to be in equilibrium, ​mgsinθ = mxω2cosθ​⇒tanθ=ω2xgAlso, y=4cx2​⇒dydx=8cx=slope at point P=tanθ​Equating both values of tanθ we get, ω2xg=8cx​⇒ω2=8cg​⇒ω=8cg=22cg
