A bead of mass ' ' slides without friction on the wall of a vertical circular hoop of radius ' ' as shown in figure. The bead moves under the combined action of gravity and a massless spring (k) attached to the bottom of the hoop. The equilibrium length of the spring is ' '. If the bead is released from top of the hoop with (negligible) zero initial speed, velocity of bead, when the length of spring becomes ' ', would be (spring constant is ' ', is accleration due to gravity)

Multiple Choice Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Step-by-Step Verified Solution

When mass is at position A,
Elongation of spring,
(As equilibrium length of spring is R)
(As the bead is released from zero initial speed)
When mass is at position B,
So using energy conservation,
