Engineering Mechanics

  1. A point mass M is released from rest and slides down a spherical bowl of radius R from a height H as shown in the figure below. The surface of the bowl is smooth (no friction). The velocity of the mass at the bottom of the bowl is
    1. √gH
    2. √2gR
    3. √2gH
    4. 0
Correct Option: C


Loss in potential energy = Gain in kinetic energy

Mgh =
1
MV²
2

V = √2gH
