A small block slides down from the top of hemisphere of radius R=3 m as shown in the figure. The height h at which the block will lose contact with the surface of the sphere is m. (Assume there is no friction between the block and the hemisphere)

Solution

mgcosθ=mv2R   ...(1)

cosθ=hR

Energy conservation

mg{R-h}=12mv2  ...(2)

 from (1) and (2) mghR=2mg{R-h}R

h=2R3=2 m
