A small block slides down from the top of hemisphere of radius $R=3\, {m}$ as shown in the figure. The height $'h'$ at which the block will lose contact with the surface of the sphere is $............. \;\;m$. (Assume there is no friction between the block and the hemisphere)

Solution

on balancing
$m g \cos \theta=\frac{m v^{2}}{R}….(1)$
$\cos \theta=\frac{h}{R}$
Energy conservation
$m g\{R-h\}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}….(2)$
From $(1)$ and $(2) \Rightarrow m g\left\{\frac{h}{R}\right\}=\frac{2 m g\{R-h\}}{R}$
$h=\frac{2 R}{3}=2\, m$
