A small smooth ring of mass is threaded on to a smooth wire in the shape of a circle with centre and radius . The wire is fixed in a vertical plane. The ring is attached to one end of a light elastic string of natural length and modulus of elasticity . The other end of the elastic string is attached to , the lowest point of the wire. The point is on the wire and is horizontal.
The ring is at rest at the highest point of the wire, as shown in Figure 6.
The ring is slightly disturbed from rest and slides along the wire.
At the instant when reaches the point , the speed of is and the magnitude of the force exerted on by the wire is .
(a) Show that
(b) Show that

At the highest point, the string has length and extension . Its elastic potential energy is
At , triangle is right-angled with . Thus
The ring falls through a height . The normal force of the smooth wire is perpendicular to the motion and does no work. Treating the small disturbance as giving negligible initial kinetic energy, conservation of energy gives
Since ,

By Hooke’s law, the tension at is
Since , the string makes with the inward horizontal direction . Let the signed force of the wire towards be . Resolving radially inwards at ,
The weight has no horizontal component. Using part (a),
This is positive, confirming that the wire acts towards . Its magnitude is therefore
