A body initially at rest and sliding along a frictionless track from a height (as shown in the figure) just completes a vertical circle of diameter The height is equal to

To solve this problem, we need to determine the height from which the body must be released to just complete a vertical circle of diameter Given:⢠Diameter of the circle ⢠Radius of the circle For the body to just complete the vertical circle, it must have enough velocity at the top of the circle to maintain circular motion.At the top of the circle (point B), the gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force.The condition for just completing the circle is:Using energy conservation between the initial point and the top of the circle:Substitute Simplify:Cancel from both sides:Cancel from both sides:Therefore, the height is equal to This corresponds to Option 4.
