Three small balls of the same mass, whit...

Three small balls of the same mass, white (w), green (g), and blue (b), are fixed by weightless rods at the vertics of the equilateral triangle with side l. The system of balls is placed on a smooth horizontal surface and set in rotation about the centre of mass with period T. At a certain instant, the blue ball tears away from the frame. Determine teh distance L between the blue and the green ball after the time T.
