<title>A ball is launched along the inner surface of a smooth vertical cylinder of radius R at an angle \alpha to the vertical. What initial velocity must be given to it so that it returns to the starting point?</title>
$1.3.15.$ A ball is launched along the inner surface of a smooth vertical cylinder of radius $R$ at an angle $\alpha$ to the vertical. What initial velocity must be given to it so that it returns to the starting point?
</p>
<h3>Solution</h3>
<p>
<p>We will divide the movement into vertical and in the plane of the cross section of the cylinder</p>
<p class="exp">
$x = vt \sin\alpha$
</p>
<p class="exp">
$$ y = vt \cos\alpha - \frac{gt^2}{2}$$
</p>
<p>We take into account that the displacement along $Ox$ is equal to the circumference, and along $Oy$ — 0:</p>
<p class="exp">
$$ vt \cos\alpha - \frac{gt^2}{2} = 0 $$
</p>
$$vt \sin\alpha = 2\pi n R,\,n\in\mathbb{N}$$
We find time $t$ as
$$ t = \frac{2\pi n R}{v \sin\alpha}$$
$$ 2v \cos\alpha = g\frac{2\pi n R}{v \sin\alpha}$$
<p>From here we express $v$:
<p class="exp">
$$\fbox{$v=\sqrt{2\pi Rgn/\sin2\alpha}$}$$
</p>
</p>
<h4>Answer</h4>
<p>
$v=\sqrt{2\pi Rgn/\sin2\alpha}$, where $n$ is any natural number; when $\alpha = 0$, the speed can be any in absolute value.
