उत्तर
Let u be the initial velocity and v be the velocity at the point where it makes an angle \[\frac{\theta}{2}\] with the horizontal component. It is given that the horizontal component remains unchanged.
Therefore, we get :
\[v \cos \left( \frac{\theta}{2} \right) = u cos\theta\]

\[\Rightarrow v = \frac{u\cos\theta}{\cos\frac{\theta}{2}} . . . \left( i \right) \]
\[mg\cos\frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{m v^2}{r} . . . \left( ii \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow r = \frac{v^2}{g\cos\frac{\theta}{2}}\]
On substituting the value of v from equation (i), we get :
\[r = \frac{u^2 \cos^2 \theta}{g \cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2}}\]

You may have seen in a circus a motorcyclist driving in vertical loops inside a ‘death-well’ (a hollow spherical chamber with holes, so the spectators can watch from outside). Explain clearly why the motorcyclist does not drop down when he is at the uppermost point, with no support from below. What is the minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop if the radius of the chamber is 25 m?
