the frictional force has stopped it. Rank the situations according to the increase in thermal

A particle of mass 5 kg is free to slide on a smooth ring of


radius r = 20 cm fixed in a vertical plane. The particle is
attached to one end of a spring whose other end is fixed to the
top point O of the ring. Initially the particle is at rest at a point A
of the ring such that OCA = 60, C being the centre of the
ring. The natural length of the spring is also equal to r = 20 cm.

contact force between the particle and the ring becomes zero
when it reaches the lowest position B. Determine the force
