Here a is the angle formed by the helical line of groove with the horizontal plane A component of the acceleration of the body is responsible for change in direction other for the change in speed i e centripetal acceleration tangential acceleration The tangential acceleration have two components one along the circle one in vertical direction The value of tangential acceleration at can be found by mentally developing the surface of the cylinder with the helical groove into a plane In this case the groove will become an inclined plane nh 2 Rn Distance travelled by the object when it completes one revolution along the groove is
