    A particle is moving in a circle of radius r under the action of a force \[F=\alpha {{r}^{2}}\] which is directed towards centre of the circle. Total mechanical energy (kinetic energy + potential energy) of the particle is (take potential energy = 0 for r = 0):

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\alpha {{r}^{3}}\]

    B)        \[\frac{5}{6}\alpha {{r}^{3}}\]

    C) \[\frac{4}{3}\alpha {{r}^{3}}\]            

    D) \[\alpha {{r}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] As we know, dU = F.dr \[U=\int\limits_{0}^{r}{\alpha {{r}^{2}}dr=\frac{a{{r}^{3}}}{3}}\]                           ?(i) As, \[\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}=\alpha {{r}^{2}}\]             \[{{m}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}=m\alpha {{r}^{3}}\] or, \[2m(KE)=\frac{1}{2}\alpha {{r}^{3}}\]                               ...(ii) Total energy = Potential energy + kinetic energy Now, from eqn (i) and (ii) Total energy = K.E. + RE. \[=\frac{\alpha {{r}^{3}}}{3}+\frac{\alpha {{r}^{3}}}{2}=\frac{5}{6}\alpha {{r}^{3}}\]
