Three masses of small size are attached ...

Three masses of small size are attached by light inextensible strings of various lengths to a point O on the ceiling. All of the masses swing round in horizontal circles of various radii with the same angular frequency `omega` (one such circle is drawn in the shown figure.) Then pick up the correct statement.

A

The vertical depth of each mass below point of suspension from ceilling is different

B

the radius of horizontal circular path of eachmass is same

C

all masses revolve in the same horizontal plane

D

all the particles must have same mass.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

For conical pendulum l , mass m moving
along horizontal circle is as shown
`T cos theta= mg.....(1)`
`T sin theta=m omega^(2) l sin theta.....(2)`
From equation (1) and equation (2), ` l cos theta=g/(omega^(2))`
` lcos theta` is the vertical distance of below O point of suspension. hence if `omega` of all three pendulum are same, they small revolve in same horizontal plane.
Alternate.
If we remember that time period T of conical pendulum is
`T=2pisqrt(L/g)` where L is the vertical path of bob below point of suspension. If T is same for three pendulum
even L shall be also same. hence all three particles shall revolve in same horizontal plane
