    To complete the loop a body must enter a vertical loop of radius R with the minimum velocity v = √5gR.

    Correct Option: D

    To complete the loop a body must enter a vertical loop of radius R with the minimum velocity v = √5gR.


  1. Two stones of masses m and 2m are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in radius 1/2 and the lighter one in radius r. The tangential speed of lighter stone is n times that of the value of heavier stone when they experience same centripetal forces. The value of n is :

    According to question, two stones experience same centripetal force
    i.e. FC1 = FC2

    or,
    mv1²
    =
    2mv2²
    rr/2

    or, v1² = 4v2²
    So, V1 = 2V2 i.e., n = 2

    For banking tan θ =
    = 1
    90 × 10

    V = 30 m/s

    Correct Option: C

    For banking tan θ =
    = 1
    90 × 10

    V = 30 m/s
