solve it,,.....

a smooth ring P of mass m can slide on a fixed horizontal rod....a string tied to the ring passes over a fixed pulley and carries a block of mass m/2 as shown....at an instant the string between the ring and the pulley makes an angle 60degrees .... with the rod....INITIAL acceleration of the ring is

this is one of the tough looking simple problems :)

the fbd of the ring is to be drawn

Hint: there is no rotational mechanics involved :)

then you have to find the constraint equation... :)

@aarthi
T varies wit theta, u hav to use ma=Tcos(theta)
and in ur eqn it is ma/2 n not ma

Here length of the string is the constraint

I am gettin g/18....Is it rite??[12][12][7][7]

[ I hav doubt in one part- My aalternative answer is g/10 hehe]

From the figure,

mg/2 -T =macos60°/2

T = macos60°

Hence,

mg/2=3macos60°/2

a=2g/3

Do U hav da answer[7][7][33]
