Question Number 24879 by Tinkutara last updated on 28/Nov/17
A particle of mass m is fixed to one end  of a light rigid rod of length l and rotated  in a vertical circular path about its  other end. The minimum speed of the  particle at its highest point must be

Why not (√(gl))?
$$\mathrm{Why}\:\mathrm{not}\:\sqrt{{gl}}? \\ $$

Since it is a solid rod there is no  requirement for tension at the  highest point like in string.
