As we have learned

If only conservative forces act on a system, total mechnical energy remains constant -

K+U=Eleft ( constant 
ight )

Delta K+Delta U=0

Delta K=-Delta U

-

 

 For particles to complete circle 

v=\sqrt{5gR}

also v=\sqrt{gh}\Rightarrow \sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{5g-\frac{D}{2}}

h= \frac{5D}{4}
