Conical Pendulum & Funnel

A particle of mass m is suspended from a ceiling through a string of length L. The particle moves in a horizontal circle of radius r such that r=L2r = \frac{L}{\sqrt{2}}. The speed of particle will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. sin⁡θ=rL=12⇒θ=45∘\sin\theta = \frac{r}{L} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Rightarrow \theta = 45^\circ
  2. Conical pendulum: tan⁡θ=v2rg⇒v2=rgtan⁡45∘=rg\tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{rg} \Rightarrow v^2 = rg\tan 45^\circ = rg.
  3. So the answer is (a) rg\sqrt{rg}.
