JEE Main 2026Work Power Energy Question with Solution

JEE Main 2026 (23 January Shift 1)

Question

A small bob of mass is attached to a massless rigid rod of length 1 m pivoted at point and kept at an angle of with vertical as shown in figure. At distance of 1 m below point , an identical bob is kept at rest on a smooth horizontal surface that extends to a circular track of radius as shown in figure. If bob just manages to complete the circular path of radius upto a point after being hit elastically by , then radius is m.

Correct answer
A

Step-by-step explanation

Bob A swings from to vertical. Height drop m.
Velocity of A at bottom: m/s.
Elastic collision between equal masses: B gets m/s, A stops.
For B to just complete circular loop: .
m.
