Step 1
We are asked to determine the velocity of the particle as a function of θ and the angle θ
that the particle will lose contact with the surface.
First, we will draw the free body and the mass-acceleration diagrams. From the diagram,
we will formulate the equations of motion and solve for the velocity and the angle θ . The
following equations will be used:
aθ = R ⋅ θ̈ + 2Ṙ ⋅ θ̇
(1)
aR = R̈ − R ⋅ θ̇ 2
(2)
w =m⋅g (3)
v = R ⋅ θ̇ (4)
where:
aθ = transverse component of the acceleration
aR = radial component of the acceleration
v = velocity
R = radial line
θ̇ = angular velocity
θ̈ = angular acceleration
Ṙ = first derivative of the equation
for the radial line
R̈ = second derivative of the equation
for the radial line
w = weight
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity

Step 3
Note that the radius R is constant throughout the path of the particle. Thus, the velocity
and acceleration of the particle relative to the radius is equal to zero. Substitute Ṙ =0
into Eq. (5).
g ⋅ sin θ = R ⋅ θ̈ + 2 (0) ⋅ θ̇
g ⋅ sin θ

Step 4
Consider the concept of position, velocity, and acceleration. The velocity and
acceleration of the particle is equal to the first and second derivatives of the equation for
the position of the particle with respect to time, respectively. In this case, the position of
the particle is described by the angle θ .

Step 7
Let's determine the constant of integration. From the problem, the particle is at rest at
θ = 0. Thus, θ̇ = 0 when θ = 0. Substitute the values into Eq. (10).

↗ + ∑ FR = m ⋅ aR ⇒
FN − w ⋅ cos θ = m ⋅ aR
FN − m ⋅ g ⋅ cos θ = m (R̈ − R ⋅ θ̇ 2 )

Step 11
As mentioned earlier, R̈ = 0. When the particle loses contact with the surface, there will
be no normal force. Substitute R̈ = 0 and FN = 0 into Eq. (12).
0 − m ⋅ g ⋅ cos θ = m (0 − R ⋅ θ̇ 2 )
−m ⋅ g ⋅ cos θ = m ⋅ R ⋅ θ̇ 2
g ⋅ cos θ = R ⋅ θ̇ 2 (13)
