A bob of mass m is suspended by a string of length L and given a horizontal velocity vâ‚€ at the lowest point. The minimum vâ‚€ required to complete a vertical circle is:
At the topmost point C of a vertical circular loop (bob completing full circle), what is the speed of the bob (string length L, minimum launch speed at bottom)?
The ratio of kinetic energies KB/KC at points B (midpoint, at height L) and C (top, at height 2L) of a vertical circular loop (length L, minimum launch) is:
