a smooth hollow circular cone of semi-angle y is fixed with its axis vertical and its vertex A downwards. A particle P,of mass m,moving with constant speed V describes a horizontal circle on the inner surface of the cone in a plane which is at a distance b above A.
show V^2=gb...done
b) if P is attached to one of a light elastic string PQ of natural length a and modulus of elasticity mg,find V^2 if
i)Q is attached to A
ii)Q is passed through a small hole at A and is attached to a particle of mass m hanging freely in equilibrium
for this how do i find the extension of the string? i am missing soemthing here as i need this extension to find the tension but is a<b or a>b?or does it not matter?
