CIRCULAR MOTION
Sol. Apparent weight of car = N (normal reaction)(i) Convex bridgeThe motion of the motor car over a convex bridge is the motionalong the segment of a circle. The centripetal force is providedby the difference of weight mg of the car and the normalreaction N of the bridge.
mg N = 2mv
r
or N = mg 2mv
r
Clearly N < mg, i.e., the apparent weight of the moving car isless than the weight of the stationary car.
(ii) Concave bridge N mg = 2mv
r
Apparent weight N = mg + 2mv
r
5 . MOTION IN VERTICAL CIRCLE
Motion of a body suspended by string :
This is the best example of non-uniform circular motion.
Suppose a particle of mass m is attached to an inexcusable light string of length r. The particle is movingin a vertical circle of radius r, about a fixed point O.
At lost point A velocity of particle = u (in horizontal direction)After covering velocity of particle = v (at point B)Resolve weight (mg) into two components (i) mg cos (along radial direction)
(ii) mg sin (tangential direction)Then force T mg cos provides necessary centripetal force
T mg cos = 2mv
r ......(i)
OCB cos = r hr
......(ii)
or h = r (1 cos)By conservation of energy at point A & B
21mu2 =
21mv mgh2
+ or u2 = v2 + 2gh
or 2 2v u 2gh= ........(iii)Substitute value of cos and v2 in equn. (i)
