Question

Two uniform ropes having linear mass densities m and $$4m$$, length l. Each are joined to form a closed loop. The loop is hanging over a fixed frictionless small pulley with the lighter rope above as shown in the figure (in$$ the figure equilibrium position is $$shown). Now if the point A joint, is slightly displaced in downward direction and released. It is found that, the loop perform angular SHM with the period of the oscillation equal to $$2N$$. The value of N (take$$ $$l=150$$$$π$$$$2$$ $$metre) is $$_________$$.

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Let point A is displace in the downward direction by x.

Net imbalance forces = $m_{t o t a l} a$

$\begin{array}{l} [4 m g (l + x) + m g (l - x) - {4 m (l - x) g + m (l + x) g}] \\ = (4 m \times 2 l + m \times 2 l) a \\ a = - (\frac{3 g}{5 l}) x; ω = \sqrt{\frac{3 g}{5 l}} \Rightarrow T = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{5 l}{3 g}} = 10 s \end{array}$
