1. A point mass is connected with ideal inextensible string of length  and other end
of string is tied at point O as shown in the figure. The string is made horizontal

and mass is released from point A to perform vertical circular motion. There is a m
nail at point N such that ON = r. find the value of r so that mass m is able to just o
