MCQ
A particle is projected from ground at an angle $\theta$ with horizontal with speed $u$. The ratio of radius of curvature of its trajectory at point of projection to radius of curvature at maximum height is ........
  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sin ^2 \theta \cos \theta}$
  • B
    $\cos ^2 \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sin ^3 \theta}$
  • $\frac{1}{\cos ^3 \theta}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{1}{\cos ^3 \theta}$
d
(d)

At the point of projection

$r_A=\frac{u^2}{g \cos \theta}$

$r_H=\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta}{g}$

Ratio, $\frac{r_A}{r_H}=\frac{\frac{u^2}{g \cos \theta}}{\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta}{g}}=\frac{1}{\cos ^3 \theta}=\frac{r_A}{r_H}$
