Engineering Mechanics

  1. A point mass M is released from rest and slides down a spherical bowl of radius R from a height H as shown in the figure below. The surface of the bowl is smooth (no friction). The velocity of the mass at the bottom of the bowl is
    1. gH
    2. 2gR
    3. 2gH
    4. 0
Correct Option: C


Loss in potential energy = Gain in kinetic energy

Mgh =
1
MV²
2

V = √2gH
