A bead of mass m can slide on a smooth circular wire of radius a, which is fixed in a vertical plane. The bead is connected to the highest point of the wire by a light spring of natural length 3a/2 and spring constant k. P is lowest point on ring. Choose the CORRECT statement(s). For bead, P is stable equilibrium position if k= 2mg/a For bead, P is unstable equilibrium position if k = 2mg/a For bead, P is stable equilibrium position if k= 5mg/a For bead, P is unstable equilibrium position if k = 5mg/a
