Show that the minimum speed at dle lowest point as sqrt(5gr)in a vertical circle executed by the object.

Answer»

SOLUTION :To have this minimum speed `(v_2 = sqrt(gr) )`at point 2, the body must have minimum speed also at point 1. By making use of equation we can find the minimum speed at point 2 .
` v_1^2 - v_2^2 = 4gr`
SUBSTITUTING equation` v_2 = sqrt(gr) " in " v_1^2 - v_2^2 = 4gr `
`v_1^2 - gr = 4gr`
` v_1^2 = 5gr`
` v_1 = sqrt(5gr)`....(2)

The body must have a speed at point 1, `v_1gt = sqrt(5gr)`to STAY in the CIRCULAR path. From equations `v_2 = sqrt(gr)`and `v_1= sqrt(5gr)`, it is clear that the minimum speed at the LOWEST point 1 should be 5 times more than the minimum speed at the highest point 2, so that the body loops without leaving the circle.
