A particle of mass `2m` is connected by an inextensible string of length `1.2 m` to a ring of mass m which is free to slide on a horizontal smooth rod. Initially the ring and the particle are at the same level with the string taut. Both are then released simultaneously. The distance in meter moved by the ring when the string becomes veritcal is :-

A

0

B

`0.4`

C

`0.8`

D

`1.2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`Deltabar(x) = (m_(1).Deltax_(1) + m_(2).Deltax_(2))/(m_(1) + m_(2))`
Let `x =` distance moved by ring
`0 = (mx + 2m(1.2 - x))/(m + 2m) rArr x = 0.8 m`
