A smooth inclined plane ends in a vertical circular loop, as shown in the figure. A small body is released from height \(h\) as shown. If the body exerts a force of three times its weight on the plane at the highest point of circle then the height \(h = \alpha R\). The value of \(\alpha\) is _______.

- A \(2\)
- B \(4\)
- C \(3\)
- D \(6\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(v\) be the velocity of the body at the highest point of the circular loop. At the highest point, the forces acting on the body are its weight \(mg\) (downwards) and the normal reaction \(N\) (downwards). The net downward force provides the necessary centripetal…
