Circular motion in hemisphere
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
As shown in attached figure, a small object is in uniform circular motion in a horizontal plane, on the smooth of a hemisphere (radius:r). The distance between the object's plane of motion and the hemisphere's lowest point is [itex]\frac{r}{5}[/itex] What is the speed of the object? 2. Relevant equations ƩF=[itex]\frac{mv2}{r}[/itex] ....(1) Ncosθ=mg ...(2) 3. The attempt at a solution From (1) and I get ƩF from FBD wrote in attached figure ƩF=Nsinθ From (2) I knew that N=[itex]\frac{mg}{cosθ}[/itex] ..(3) substitute (3) in (1) in got gtanθ=[itex]\frac{v2}{r}[/itex] ..(4) and I try to find tanθ from geometric of hemisphere First, I try to find the radius (let it is r') of this mass at r/5 from the lowest point of hemisphere If I look in the picture and use pythagoras r' = (r2-([itex]\frac{4r}{5}[/itex]))1/2 ∴r' = [itex]\frac{3r}{5}[/itex] Thus; tanθ = 3 substitute in (4) v = √3gr but the answer is [itex]\frac{3√5gr}{10}[/itex]....... Or I get tanθ wrong or use wrong geometric condition of hemisphere ??? help is appreciate Thanks

Your tanθ should be equal to (3/5)r/(4/5)r=3/4
tanθ=v2/r'g v2=3/4x3/5rg=3/4x3/5grx5/5=3.3.5gr/4.5.5 |
