A point P is on the axis of a fixed ring of mass M and radius R, at a distance 2R from the centre O. A small particle starts from P and reaches O under the gravitational attraction only. Its speed at O will be

a
zero
b
2GMR
c
2GMR(5−1)
d
2GMR1−15

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Gravitational potential at 'P",vp=−GM5RGravitational potential at 'O',v0=−GMRUsing work energy theorem,m.GMR−GM5R=12mv22GMR1−15=V
