A smooth circular track of mass M is vertically hung by a string down the ceiling. Two small rings, each of mass `m`, are initially at rest at the top of the track. They then slide down simultaneously along the track in opposite directions. Find the position of the rings when the tension in the string is zero.

A

`theta=sin^(-1)[(1)/(3)(1+sqrt(1-(GM)/(3m)))]`

B

`theta=cos^(-1)[(5)/(3)(1+sqrt(1-(3M)/(2m)))]`

C

`theta=cos^(-1)[(1)/(3)(1+sqrt(1-(3M)/(2m)))]`

D

`theta=cos^(-1)[(1)/(3)(1+sqrt(1-(5M)/(3m)))]`

A smooth semicircular wire-track of radius R is fixed in a vertical plane. One end of a massless spring of natural length 3R//4 is attached to the lowest point O of the wire-track. A small ring of mass m, which can slide on the track, is attached to the other end of the spring. The ring is held staionary at point P such that the spring makes an angle of 60^@ with the vertical. The spring constant K=mg//R . Consider the instant when the ring is released, and (i) draw the free body diagram of the ring, (ii) determine the tangential acceleration of the ring and the normal reaction.
