A hollow vertical drum of radius r and height H has a small particle in contact with smooth inner surface of the upper rim at point P. The particle is given a horizontal speed u tangential to the rim. It leaves the lower rim at Q vertically below P. Taking n as an integer for number of revolutions, we get

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
For vertical motion
H =
or t = 
For horizontal motion, distance covered is given by,
2 π π n = ut
or 2 π π rn = 
or n =
