Question

57. Two small objects of equal masses are attached to
each other by a light string BC, and this system is
connected to a fixed point A with another light string
AB as shown in the figure. The masses are then made
to move in horizontal circular paths of radii R and 2R
(see figure) with the same angular speed so that points
A, B and C are always in a straight line. If T, and T,
are the tensions of the strings BC and AB respectively,

Answer 1

Answer:

Two small blocks of equal mass are attached as shown in the figure.

They are set into rotation on a horizontal frictionless plane at constant angular speed ω. The ratio
