A ball of mass m is attached to one end of a light rod of length l, the other end of which is hinged. What minimum velocity v should be imparted to the ball downwards, so that it can complete the circle?

Step 1
The total energy at point A (initial position) must be equal to the total energy at point B (when the ball completes the circle). Show more…

A light, rigid rod is 77.0 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless, horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? Answer: 5.49 m/s
