A particle of mass m is initially situated at the point P inside a hemispherical surface of radius r as shown in figure. A horizontal acceleration of magnitude ao is suddenly produced on the particle in the horizontal direction. If gravitational acceleration is neglected, then time taken by particle to touch the sphere again iswhere a is the angle which OP makes with radius OC.

Detailed Solution
Let the particle touches the sphere at point A as shown in figure.Let PA=x. Now PB-x/2From ΔOPB,cosα=PB/PO=PB/r∴PB=rcosαTherefore, x2=rcosα or x=2rcosαBut x=12a0t2So, t=2xa0=2×2rcosαa0t=4rcosαa0
