Question

Figure (10 - E15) shows a small spherical ball of mass m rolling down the loop track. The ball is released on the linear portion at a vertical height H from the lowest point. The circular part shown has a radius R. (a) Find the kinetic energy of the ball when it is at a point A where the radius makes an angle θ with the horizontal. (b) Find the radial and the tangential accelerations of the centre when the ball is at A.

Solution

(a) Total kinetic energy,

y=12mv2+12Iω2

Therefore, according to the question

mgH=12mv2+12Iω2+mgR(1+sinθ)

mgHmgR(1+sin θ)

=12mv2+12Iω2

12mv2+12Iω2=mg(HRR sinθ)

(b) To find the acceleration components,

12mv2+12Iω2=mg(HRR sin θ)

710mv2=mg(HRR sin θ)

v2=107g(HRR sin θ)...(i)

v2R=107g[(HR)R sin θ]R

radial acceleration

v2R=107g[(HR)R sin θ]R

2vdvdt=(107)g R cos θdθdt

ωRdvdt=(57)g R cos θdθdt

dvdt=(57) g cos θ

tangential acceleration

(c) Normal force at θ = 0, mv2R=(701000)×(107)×10{(0.60.1)0.1}=5N

f=mgma, g=m(ga)

=m(1057×10)

=0.07(1057×10)

=1100(7050)=0.2N
