With what minimum speed v must a small ball should be pushed inside a smooth vertical tube from a height h so that it may reach the top of the tube ? Radius of the tube is R.
A
2g(h+2R)
B
25 R
C
g(5R–2h)
D
2g(2R–h)
Answer
2g(2R–h)
Explanation
Solution
To reach at highest point of tube.
Final velocity , v = 0
\ 21 mv2 + mgh = mg (2R)
̃ v = 2g(2R–h)
