Question:medium

A bob of mass \( m \) is suspended by a light string of length \( L \). It is imparted a minimum horizontal velocity at the lowest point A such that it just completes half a circle, reaching the topmost position B. The ratio of kinetic energies \(\left(\frac{K.E.}{K.E.}\right)_A \)\(\text{to}\)\(\left(\frac{K.E.}{K.E.}\right)_B\) is:

Show Hint

In vertical circular motion, use \textbf{energy conservation} to relate velocities at different points. At the topmost point, potential energy is maximum, and kinetic energy is minimum.
