A smooth track of incline of length l is joined smoothly with circular track of radius R. A mass of m kg is projected up from the bottom of the inclined plane. The minimum speed of the mass to reach the top of the track is given by, v =

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Using v 2 – u 2 = 2aS we get
v 2 – u 2 = 2(-g) H

i.e., - u 2 = 2(-g) (h 1 + h 2 )
but h 1 = l sin θ θ
and h 2 = R (1 – cos θ θ )
∴ ∴ u 2 = 2g (l sin θ θ + R (1 – cos θ θ ))
or u = [2g {l sin θ θ + R (1 – cos θ θ )}]
