A small disc is on the top of a smooth hemisphere of radius ' R '. The smallest horizontal velocity ' \(V\) ' that should be imparted to the disc so that disc leaves the hemisphere surface without sliding down is (there is no friction)

  1. A \(V=\sqrt{g^2 R}\)
  2. B \(V=\sqrt{2 g R}\)
  3. C \(V=\sqrt{g R}\)
  4. D \(V=\sqrt{g / R}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(V=\sqrt{g R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At the top of hemisphere, \(\mathrm{mg}-\mathrm{N}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2}{\mathrm{R}}\) For the disc leaves the hemisphere, \(\mathrm{N}=0 \quad \therefore \mathrm{mg}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2}{\mathrm{R}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\mathrm{gR}}\)
