6.05d Variable speed circles: energy methods

3 A particle \(P\), of mass \(m\), is placed at the highest point of a fixed solid smooth sphere with centre \(O\) and radius \(a\). The particle \(P\) is given a horizontal speed \(u\) and it moves in part of a vertical circle, with centre \(O\), on the surface of the sphere. When \(O P\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the upward vertical, and \(P\) is still in contact with the surface of the sphere, the speed of \(P\) is \(v\) and the reaction of the sphere on \(P\) has magnitude \(R\). Show that \(R = m g ( 3 \cos \theta - 2 ) - \frac { m u ^ { 2 } } { a }\). The particle loses contact with the sphere at the instant when \(v = 2 u\). Find \(u\) in terms of \(a\) and \(g\).

A particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length \(a\). The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\). The particle is held so that the string is taut, with \(O P\) horizontal. The particle is projected downwards with speed \(\sqrt { } \left( \frac { 2 } { 5 } a g \right)\) and begins to move in a vertical circle. The string breaks when its tension is equal to \(\frac { 11 } { 5 } m g\).

1. Show that the string breaks when \(O P\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the downward vertical through \(O\), where \(\cos \theta = \frac { 3 } { 5 }\). Find the speed of \(P\) at this instant.
2. For the subsequent motion after the string breaks, find the distance \(O P\) when the particle \(P\) is vertically below \(O\).

A particle \(P\), of mass \(m\), is able to move in a vertical circle on the smooth inner surface of a sphere with centre \(O\) and radius \(a\). Points \(A\) and \(B\) are on the inner surface of the sphere and \(A O B\) is a horizontal diameter. Initially, \(P\) is projected vertically downwards with speed \(\sqrt { } \left( \frac { 21 } { 2 } a g \right)\) from \(A\) and begins to move in a vertical circle. At the lowest point of its path, vertically below \(O\), the particle \(P\) collides with a stationary particle \(Q\), of mass \(4 m\), and rebounds. The speed acquired by \(Q\), as a result of the collision, is just sufficient for it to reach the point \(B\).

1. Find the speed of \(P\) and the speed of \(Q\) immediately after their collision.
   In its subsequent motion, \(P\) loses contact with the inner surface of the sphere at the point \(D\), where the angle between \(O D\) and the upward vertical through \(O\) is \(\theta\).
2. Find \(\cos \theta\).

2 A particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length \(a\). The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\). The particle \(P\) is moving in a complete vertical circle about \(O\). The points \(A\) and \(B\) are on the circle, at opposite ends of a diameter, and such that \(O A\) makes an acute angle \(\alpha\) with the upward vertical through \(O\). The speed of \(P\) as it passes through \(A\) is \(\frac { 3 } { 2 } \sqrt { } ( a g )\). The tension in the string when \(P\) is at \(B\) is four times the tension in the string when \(P\) is at \(A\).

1. Show that \(\cos \alpha = \frac { 3 } { 4 }\).
2. Find the tension in the string when \(P\) is at \(B\).

2 A small bead \(B\) of mass \(m\) is threaded on a smooth wire fixed in a vertical plane. The wire forms a circle of radius \(a\) and centre \(O\). The highest point of the circle is \(A\). The bead is slightly displaced from rest at \(A\). When angle \(A O B = \theta\), where \(\theta < \cos ^ { - 1 } \left( \frac { 2 } { 3 } \right)\), the force exerted on the bead by the wire has magnitude \(R _ { 1 }\). When angle \(A O B = \pi + \theta\), the force exerted on the bead by the wire has magnitude \(R _ { 2 }\). Show that \(R _ { 2 } - R _ { 1 } = 4 m g\).

3 A fixed hollow sphere with centre \(O\) has a smooth inner surface of radius \(a\). A particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) is projected horizontally with speed \(2 \sqrt { } ( a g )\) from the lowest point of the inner surface of the sphere. The particle loses contact with the inner surface of the sphere when \(O P\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the upward vertical.

1. Show that \(\cos \theta = \frac { 2 } { 3 }\).
2. Find the greatest height that \(P\) reaches above the level of \(O\).

3 A particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length \(a\). The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\). The particle is held with the string taut and horizontal and is then released. When the string is vertical, it comes into contact with a small smooth peg \(A\) which is vertically below \(O\) and at a distance \(x ( < a )\) from \(O\). In the subsequent motion, when \(A P\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the downward vertical, the tension in the string is \(T\). Show that $$T = m g \left( 3 \cos \theta + \frac { 2 x } { a - x } \right)$$ Given that \(P\) completes a vertical circle about \(A\), find the least possible value of \(\frac { x } { a }\).

A smooth sphere, with centre \(O\) and radius \(a\), is fixed on a smooth horizontal plane \(\Pi\). A particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) is projected horizontally from the highest point of the sphere with speed \(\sqrt { } \left( \frac { 2 } { 5 } g a \right)\). While \(P\) remains in contact with the sphere, the angle between \(O P\) and the upward vertical is denoted by \(\theta\). Show that \(P\) loses contact with the sphere when \(\cos \theta = \frac { 4 } { 5 }\). Subsequently the particle collides with the plane \(\Pi\).
