A frictionless track $ABCDE$ ends in a circular loop of radius $R$ .A body slides down the track from point $A$ which is at a height $h = 5\, cm$. Maximum value of $R$ for the body to successfully complete the loop is .................. $\mathrm{cm}$

A
$5$
B
$3.75$
C
$\frac{10}{3}$
D
$2$
Solution
for a complete loop velocity at $B$ should be greater than equal to $=\sqrt{5 \mathrm{gR}}$
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}} \geq \sqrt{5 \mathrm{gR}}$
$\sqrt{2 \mathrm{gh}} \geq \sqrt{5 \mathrm{gR}}$
$\mathrm{R} \leq \frac{2 \mathrm{h}}{5}$
$\mathrm{R}_{\max }=\frac{2 \mathrm{h}}{5}=2 \mathrm{cm}$
