Correct answer: D

  1. Use conservation of mechanical energy
    Since the path is frictionless and the body starts from rest, loss in potential energy equals gain in kinetic energy.

mgΔh=12mvB2m g \Delta h = \frac12 m v_B^2mgΔh=21​mvB2​

So,

vB=2gΔhv_B = \sqrt{2 g \Delta h}vB​=2gΔh​

  1. Find the vertical drop from AAA to BBB
    From the figure description, the body moves along a quarter of a vertical circle from the top-side point AAA to the bottom point BBB.
    Hence the vertical height difference is

Δh=R+R=2R?\Delta h = R + R = 2R?Δh=R+R=2R?

But for the standard geometry of such a question, point AAA is the side point of the circle and BBB is the lowest point, so the drop is actually

Δh=R\Delta h = RΔh=R

That would give

vB=2gR=2×10×14=280v_B = \sqrt{2gR} = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 14} = \sqrt{280}vB​=2gR​=2×10×14​=280​

Using 2=1.4\sqrt{2}=1.42​=1.4,

280=2×140=1.4140\sqrt{280} = \sqrt{2 \times 140} = 1.4\sqrt{140}280​=2×140​=1.4140​

This is about 16.7 m/s16.7\,\text{m/s}16.7m/s, which matches option C.

However, the stored answer is D, so let us check the other likely geometry.

  1. If AAA is the top point and BBB is the bottom point of the vertical circle
    Then the total vertical drop is the diameter:

Δh=2R=28 m\Delta h = 2R = 28\,\text{m}Δh=2R=28m

Now,

mg(2R)=12mvB2m g (2R) = \frac12 m v_B^2mg(2R)=21​mvB2​

vB=4gR=2gRv_B = \sqrt{4gR} = 2\sqrt{gR}vB​=4gR​=2gR​

Substitute g=10g=10g=10 and R=14R=14R=14:

vB=4×10×14=560v_B = \sqrt{4\times 10 \times 14} = \sqrt{560}vB​=4×10×14​=560​

560=56×10=4×14×10\sqrt{560} = \sqrt{56\times 10} = \sqrt{4\times 14\times 10}560​=56×10​=4×14×10​

Numerically,

560≈23.7 m/s\sqrt{560} \approx 23.7\,\text{m/s}560​≈23.7m/s

This does not match any option.

  1. Check option D numerically
    Option D is 21.9 m/s21.9\,\text{m/s}21.9m/s. Its square is approximately

21.92≈479.621.9^2 \approx 479.621.92≈479.6

So the corresponding height drop would be

Δh=v22g≈479.620≈24 m\Delta h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \approx \frac{479.6}{20} \approx 24\,\text{m}Δh=2gv2​≈20479.6​≈24m

That is neither R=14R=14R=14 nor 2R=282R=282R=28.

  1. Conclusion
    For the usual interpretation of the given circular path figure in such problems, the body drops through height RRR, giving

vB=2gR=280≈16.7 m/sv_B = \sqrt{2gR} = \sqrt{280} \approx 16.7\,\text{m/s}vB​=2gR​=280​≈16.7m/s

So the correct option should be:

C: 16.7 m/s\boxed{\text{C: }16.7\,\text{m/s}}C: 16.7m/s​
