5. A weightless rod of length 2 carries two equal masses 'm', one secured at lower end A and the other at

the middle of the rod at B. The rod can rotate in vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis passing
through C. What horizontal velocity must be imparted to the mass at A so that it just completes the
vertical circle.

(B) u  F = 0 and F = constant (q) speed will increase

(C) v  F = 0 all the time and | F | = constant (r) path will be straight line
and the particle always remains in one plane.

(B) is equal than that required to accelerate it from v to 2v.
(C) is more than that required to accelerate it from v to 2v.
(D) may be any one of the above since it depends on the force acting on the truck and the distance over
which it acts.
