2.Motion in Straight Line
hard
A frictionless wire $AB$ is fixed on a sphere of radius $R$. A very small spherical ball slips on this wire. The time taken by this ball to slip from $A $ to $B$ is

A
$\frac{{2\sqrt {gR} }}{{g\cos \theta }}$
B
$2\sqrt {gR} .\frac{{\cos \theta }}{g}$
C
$2\sqrt {\frac{R}{g}} $
D
$\frac{{gR}}{{\sqrt {g\cos \theta } }}$
Solution
(c) Acceleration of body along $AB$ is $g\cos \theta $
Distance travelled in time $t\, sec $=$AB = \frac{1}{2}(g\cos \theta ){t^2}$
From $\Delta ABC,\;AB = 2R\cos \theta ;\;2R\cos \theta = \frac{1}{2}g\cos \theta {t^2}$
$⇒$ ${t^2} = \frac{{4R}}{g}$or $t = 2\sqrt {\frac{R}{g}} $
