Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
In the given figure, a smooth parabolic wire track lies in the xy-plane (vertical). The shape of track is defined by the equation y=x2 . A ring of mass m which can slide freely on the wire track, is placed at the position A(1,1). The track is rotated with constant angular speed ω such that there is no relative slipping between the ring and the track, the value of ω is

The correct answer is: 2g


Ncosθ=mg 

And Nsinθ=mω2r

tanθ=ω2rg ...(i)

Given y=x2

dydx=2x

Or tanθ=2×1=2 ...(ii)

From above equations, we get

ω=2g r=1 m
