हिन्दीA bob of heavy mass \( m \) is suspended by a light string of length \( l \). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \( v_0 \) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point \( P \) making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \( v \) of the bob at point \( P \) to its initial speed \( v_0 \) is:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
\( (\frac{1}{2 + 3\sin\theta})^{1/2} \)
Explanation
Using conservation of mechanical energy and the condition for string slackness (\( T = 0 \implies mg\sin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{l} \)), the ratio is obtained as \( (\frac{1}{2+3\sin\theta})^{1/2} \).
