JEE MAIN - Physics (2022 - 26th June Morning Shift - No. 4)
A ball is released from rest from point P of a smooth semi-spherical vessel as shown in figure. The ratio of the centripetal force and normal reaction on the ball at point Q is A while angular position of point Q is $$\alpha$$ with respect to point P. Which of the following graphs represent the correct relation between A and $$\alpha$$ when ball goes from Q to R?

Explanation
At Q ;
The equation of motion of the ball is$$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{m v^{2}}{R}=N-m g \sin \alpha \\\\ & N=\frac{m v^{2}}{R}+m g \sin \alpha .......(i) \end{aligned} $$
From figure, $$h = R\sin \alpha $$
From law of conservation of energy,
$$ (mg)R \sin \alpha=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} $$
$\therefore \quad m v^{2} / R=2 m g \sin \alpha$
So, Eq. (i) becomes,
$N=2 m g \sin \alpha+m g \sin \alpha=3 m g \sin \alpha$
$\therefore$ Ratio, $\frac{m v^{2}}{R N}=\frac{2}{3}=$ constant
$A=2 / 3$, which is independent of $\alpha$.
