Q.

A particle of charge Q and mass M = 2m is tied to two identical particles, each having mass m and charge q. The strings are of equal length, l each, and they are inextensible. The system is held at rest on a smooth horizontal surface with strings taut in a position where the strings make an angle of 600 between them. From this position the system is released.

Detailed Solution

In original position, the COM of the system is located at centre of line AD (i.e., at a distance of AG=34l  from A). The particle move such that the COM does not get displaced. When all three come to rest again, particle of mass 2m will be at D' [This particle experiences net force along AD and moves on this line itself] and the other two will be symmetrically placed at B’ and C’.

Question Image

   A and D are extreme position of Oscillation of particle of mass 2m.
 Amplitude = AD2=34l ;  

Speed will be max when particles are along same line.
 

By conservation of momentum of the system  :

At mean position, let v be velocity of B and C masses and v' be velocity of 2m mass. 

2mv+2mv'=0v'=v

By conservation of energy : 

Net energy initially is 

TE=kq2l+kQql

Net energy in mean position is 

TE=2kQql+kq22l+12mv2+12(2m)v2

Equating the above two  equations

v=q41π0ml

Tension in the string in the mean position is 

T=kq2(2l)2+kQql2+4mv2l

T=q[5q+4Q]16π0l2
