a mass m on a frictionless table is attached to a hanging mass m by a cord through a hole in the table. find the speed with which m must move for m to stay at rest.

Sagot :

The speed with which m must move from M to stay at rest is √Mgr/m m/sec .Centripetal Force is responsible for the speed of mass m.

We are given that final state of mass M is rest. It means its velocity is zero. If velocity is zero it means that force acts on the mass M is balanced. When forces are balanced ,body will remain at rest as component of force and gravity cancel each other.

So, if mass M is at rest we need to identify what force are acting on the mass M.

Since mass M is directly perpendicular to acceleration due to gravity, therefore gravity will act some force on it.

Since mass M is moving in circle, due to its movement mass M feels centripetal force.

Therefore, centripetal force due to mass m=Force due to gravity

=>m×(v²)/r=Mg

=>v² = (Mg×r)/m

=>v=√Mgr/m  

Hence, speed of mass m is √Mgr/m,
