Two rings of equal weight W are free to move on a rough horizontal rod the coefficient of friction being . They are connected by a smooth string of length on which another ring of weight 2W can move freely. Prove that in the equilibrium position, the position of the two rings on the rod cannot be further apart than 2x given by the expression 2μ 2x l . 1 4μ 2 8. A small balloon of total mass 10 kg at a height of 50 m above the ground is moving upwards with a velocity of 20 m/sec and acceleration 1.5 m/sec2 when a mass of 1 kg becomes detached. Find the new acceleration of the balloon assuming that the upward force acting upon it remains unaltered. Also find how many seconds it takes the 1 kg mass to reach the ground neglecting air resistance. 9.

When the distance AB is maximum and = 2x, each ring on the rod is in limiting equilibrium. Let T be the tension of the string and R the reaction between the rod and each of the rings A and B. Draw CE vertical meeting AB at E. If ACE = , then sin = cos = AE x 2x AC 1 2 1 4x 2 2 2 4x 2 Consider the equilibrium of ring C. Resolving vertically, 2T cos = 2 W or T = W = cos W 4x 2 2 (1) The ring A is in equilibrium under the action of the forces R, R, W and T. Resolving horizontally and vertically, T sin = R and R = W + T cos Eliminating R, T sin = (W + T cos ) or T(sin – cos ) = W 2x 2 4 x 2 or T = W W T= 2x 2 4 x 2 (2) Equating the two values of T given (1) and (2), W = 2 4x 2 W 2x 2 4 x 2 2 4x2 = 4 x 2 or 2x = 2 2 4x2 x2 = 2( 2 – 4x2), or (1 + 42)x2 = 2 2 2 2x – 2x = 4 2 Hence 2x l 2 1 4 2 . Answer For Question No. 8 Sol: Force acting on the balloon = Force required to produce acceleration of 1.5 m/sec 2 + Weight of the balloon. = 10 565 x 1.5 + 10 = kg-wt. 9 .8 29 When 1 kg is detached, the remaining mass is 9 kg and force acting on it is the same 565 kg-wt. Hence the accelerating force 29 565 565 124 – Weight of remainder = –0= kg-wt. 29 29 49 124 9.8 New acceleration = = 2.756 m/sec2. 49 9 = The initial velocity of the 1 kg weight is 20 m/sec upwards and we have to find the time in which it will reach the ground, i.e. travel 40 m downwards. Taking downward direction as positive, u = –20, s = 50, = 9.8 m/sec2. 50 = –20t + [s = ut + 1 2 t 2 1 x 9.8t2 2 whence t = 5.93 sec.
