Figure (8-E14) shows a light rod of length 1 rigidly

Question: Figure (8-E14) shows a light rod of length 1 rigidly attached to a small heavy block at one end and a hook at the other end. The system is released from rest with the rod in a horizontal position. There is a fixed smooth ring at a depth h below the initial position of the hook and the hook gets into the ring as it reaches there. What should be the minimum value of h so that the block moves in a complete circle about the ring? Solution:...
