where u and k are constants.
(a) What is the total displacement of the particle and the distance covered by it?
(b) How are the velacity and acceleration related to each hen?
2. A particle is moving along an expandina spiral in such a manner that the particle's normal
acceleration remains constant, How will the linear angular velocity change in the process?
3. Find the time taken by the particle to slide down a height h along the line PQ.
4. (a) Show that time taken by a particle to slide from any point on a vertical circle along a
smooth chord terminating at the lowest point of the circle is constant.
b) Time taken by particle to slide down any chord of smooth vertical circle, starting from rest at highest
point is constant.
5. Ifa point moves with constant acceleration, then show that space average of velocity over any

2. A particle s movina alona an exvandina spiral in sucha mariner that the particle's normal
acceleration remains constant. How will the linear angular velocty change in the process?
Solution The normal acceleration ise = =«?R, where Ris the radius of spiral.
Whence the linear velocity grows in proportion to the square root of the curvature radius of spiral, while
the angular velocity decreases by same law.
3. Find the time taken by the particle to slide down a height h along the line PQ.
Solution Here PN is the line of greatest slop.
So, component of acceleration acting along PN =gsin9
So, component of acceleration acting along PQ=ayq = gsinasecB
