A bead of mass m can slide without friction on a fixed circular horizontal ring of radius 3R having a center at the point C. The bead is attached to one of the ends of spring of spring constant k. Natural length of spring is R and the other end of the spring is fixed at point O as shown in the figure. If the bead is released from position A, then the kinetic energy of the bead when it reaches point B is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC

Given,
Mass of bead = m
Radius of circular horizontal ring = 3R
Natural length of spring = R
According to conservation of energy,
KE i + PE i = KE f + PE f
