Small Mistake in this one..
this is not very tough eureka...

I will try to solve it..

change of potential energy is

mgR(cos α - cos β) = 1/2 mv2

2g(cos α - cos β) = v2/R

draw fbd at B you will get

v2/R = g sin β

hence 2g(cos α - cos β)=g sin β

2(cos α - cos β)= sin β

See if i have made any mistake.. or let me know if i am right :)

thaanx for help........but ur answer is wrong....u made a mistake here
mgR(cos α - cos β) = 1/2 mv2...........
rather it is mgR(cos α - sin β) = 1/2 mv2

anyways i got the answer........

hence 2g(cos α - sin β)=g sin β

2 cos α= 3 sin β

Is this free of errors now?
