Question

A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is:

  1. always radially outwards.
  2. always radially inwards.
  3. radially outwards initially and radially inwards later.
  4. radially inwards initially and radially outwards later.

A
always radially outwards.
B
always radially inwards.
C
radially outwards initially and radially inwards later.
D
radially inwards initially and radially outwards later.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

mgR(1cosθ)=12mv2
So the normal force, N=mgcosθmv2R
So, when θ is small, N is +ve so it is radially inwards.
When the θ gets large, N gets -ve, so it is radially outwards.

A bead of mass ‘m’ is located on a parabolic wire with its axis vertical and vertex at the origin as shown in figure and whose equation is x2 =4ay. The wire frame is fixed and the bead can slide on it without friction. The bead is released from the point y=4a on the wire frame from rest. The tangential acceleration of the bead when it reaches the position given by y=a is (Acceleration due to gravity is g)
