A simple pendulwm of length \(L\) carries a bob of mass \(m\). When the bob is at its lowest position, it is given that the minimum horizontal speed necessary for it to move in a vertical circle about the point of suspension. When the string is horizontal, the net force on the bob is

  1. A \(\sqrt{10} m g\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{5} m g\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{mg}\)
  4. D \(1 \mathrm{mg}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{10} m g\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, the bob is moving in a vertical circle, so the velocity at lowest point \(v=\sqrt{5 r g}\) Now, applying conservation of mechanical energy, we get \[ \frac{1}{2} m \times 5 r g=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+m g r \] or,…
