A small body of mass m can slide without friction along a trough bent which is in the form of a semi-circular arc of radius R. At what height h will the body be at rest with respect to the trough, if the trough rotates with uniform angular velocity ω about a vertical axis:
A.
R−gω2
B.
R+2gω2
C.
R−2gω2
D.
R

Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
∵N cosθ=mg and N sinθ=mω2r …(i)
⇒tanθ=ω2rg
⇒rR−h=ω2rg
⇒h=R−gω2
