Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

When a particle is moved in a circle under the action of a torque then such motion is non-uniform circular motion.

Applying principle of conservation of energy, total mechanical energy at L

                                   =total mechanical energy at H

But

Or

Or 

Hence for looping the vertical loop, the minimum velocity at the lowest point L IS
