Question
As shown in the figure, a ball of mass m is
connected to a string of length I to the top of a cone with
frictionless sides. The cone is resting on the horizontal
surface and the axis of the cone is vertical, making an
angle of 30° with the side surface of the cone. The ball
moves in a horizontal circle at a uniform speed v centered
about the vertical axis of the cone. If the velocity v of the
ball is greater than a certain velocity vo, it will lose contact
with the surface of the cone and the angle o between the
string and the vertical will no longer be 30°.
30!
i.
Prove that v, = Jgl sin 30° tan 30°.
ii.
Determine the tension T, in the string if the velocity of the ball is v =
3gl
