Thus, B1 C1 M1 A0 9814/2024NYEJPrelims/Suggested Solution

Question Suggested Solution Marks 1(c) Let the normal force be N . By Newton’s 2 nd Law, This normal force (hoop on beads) is radially inwards (when the beads are moving fast). By Newton’s 3 rd Law, the beads exert on the hoop a normal force radially outwards of the same magnitude . The sum of the upward components of N from the two beads is . If this vertical force on the hoop is greater than the weight of the hoop, the hoop will be lifted off the ground. Thus, we require To find the maximum value of the denominator, Hence, at its maximum, , which implies . The maximum value of the ratio is then . Note: Initially, the beads move slowly, the required centripetal force ( ∝ v 2 ) is small. The radial component of weight ( = mg cos θ ) is more than enough to supply the centripetal force. Hence, the normal force is radially outwards, and mg cos θ − N is the centripetal force. As the beads speed up, the centripetal force required exceeds mg cos θ (which decreases with θ ). The normal force will then be radially inwards, such that mg cos θ + N is the centripetal force. Since the hoop exerts on the beads an inward normal force, by Newton’s 3 rd Law, the beads exert on the hoop and outward normal force, which has an upward component. If this upward force component is greater than the weight of the hoop, the hoop will be lifted off the ground. B1 C1 B1 B1 B1 B1 9814/2024NYEJPrelims/Suggested Solution
