Launching A Punctiform Object

Consider a circular path of radius R R , when passing through the point P P the magnitude of the resultant force on the object is 17 mg \sqrt{17}\text{ mg} , where g g is the acceleration of gravity.

Find the maximum height h max h_{\text{max}} that the object reaches the ramp in terms of R R .

R \ R 17 1 R \sqrt{17} - 1 \ R 17 + 1 R \sqrt{17} + 1 \ R 3 R 3 \ R 5 R 5\ R

The net force acting on the object is resultant of m v 2 R \frac{m \cdot v^2}{R} and m g m \cdot g ( m v 2 R ) 2 + ( m g ) 2 = 1 7 m g v 2 = 4 g R \Rightarrow \sqrt{(\frac{m \cdot v^2}{R})^2 + (mg)^2} = \sqrt 17\cdot m \cdot g \Rightarrow v^2 = 4\cdot g\cdot R thus from W o r k E n e r g y T h e o r e m Work Energy Theorem we get the height achieved by the object from point P as h = 2 R h = 2\cdot R So total height achieved by the object is h + R = 3 R h + R = 3R . We can design the ramp so that object touches the ramp at its heighest point so it gives h m a x = 3 R h_{max} = 3R

ahh resultant. i though centripetal lol
