A small block slides with velocity 0.5 
on the horizontal frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The block leaves the surface at point C. The angle 
in the figure is-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
mg cos θ – N= 
; N = mg cos θ – 
N = 0 ⇒ mg cos θ = 
v = 
or cos θ = 
.….(i)
From energy conservation
m 
= mgR(1 – cos θ )
⇒ 
– 
= gR – gR cos θ …(ii)
From (i) and (ii) θ = cos –1
