Question : 40
Total: 40
A thin circular loop of radius R rotates about its vertical diameter with an angular frequency ω . Show that a small bead on the wire loop remains at its lowermost point for ω ≤ √
. What is the angle made by the radius vector joining the centre to the bead with the vertical downward direction for ω = √
? Neglect friction.
Solution:
We have shown that radius vector joining the bead to the centre of the wire makes an angle θ with the vertical downward direction.
