A particle of mass m moves along the internal smooth surface of a vertical cylinder of radius r. Find the force with which the particle acts on the cylinder wall if at t = 0, its velocity is v0 and it makes an angle α with the horizontal.

A
Rmv02
B
Rmv02cosα
C
Rmv02sinα
D
Rmv02cos2α
Answer
Rmv02cos2α
Explanation
Solution
F = Rmvx2 = Rmv02cos2α
