Two beads of mass `2m` and `m`, connected by a rod of length `l` and of negligible mass are free to move in a smooth vertical circular wire frame of radius `l` as shown. Initially the system is held in horizontal position `(` Refer figure `)`

The velocity that should be given to mass `2m (` when rod is in horizontal position `)` in counter `-` clockwise direction so that the rod just becomes vertical is `:`

Options

A. `sqrt((5gl)/(3))`
B. `sqrt(((3sqrt(3)-1)/(3))gl)`
C. `sqrt((3)/(2)gl)`
D. `sqrt((5)/(2)gl)`

Answer

B

Explanation

The speeds given to `2m` will also be possessed by `m`
`:. KE` in horizontal position gets converted in `PE` in vertical position.
`(1)/(2)2mv^(2)+(1)/(2)mv^(2)=` change in `PE` in vertical position.

`DeltaPE=2mg[l cos 30^(@)-l cos 60^(@)]+mg[l cos 30^(@)+(l)/(2)]`
`2mg[(lsqrt(3))/(2)-(l)/(2)]+mg[(lsqrt(3))/(2)+(l)/(2)]`
`:. mgl[sqrt(3)-1]-mgl[(sqrt(3)+1)/(2)]`
`=mgl[sqrt(3)-1+(sqrt(3))/(2)+(1)/(2)]=mgl[(3sqrt(3))/(2)-(1)/(2)]`
`K.E.=(1)/(2)3mv^(2)=mgl[(3sqrt(3)-1)/(2)]`
`:. v=sqrt((3sqrt(3)-1)/(3)gl)` Ans.
