A sphere is suspended by a thread of length \(l\) What minimum horizontal velocity has to be imparted the ball for it to reach the height of the suspension?

  1. A \(\mathrm{gl}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{gl}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{2 g l}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{g l}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{g l}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

KE given to a sphere at lowest point
= potential energy at the height of suspension \(\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=m g l\)
\(\therefore\) \(v=\sqrt{2 g l}\)
