MCQ
Two objects $A$ and $B$ each of mass $m$ are connected by a light inextensible string. They are restricted to move on a frictionless ring of radius $R$ in a vertical plane (as shown in fig). The objects are released from rest at the position shown. Then, the tension in the cord just after release is
  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $mg$
  • C
    $\sqrt 2\,mg$
  • $mg/ \sqrt 2$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$mg/ \sqrt 2$
d
$\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\sqrt{2}}=\mathrm{ma}$     ......$(1)$

$m g-\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}=m a$          .......$(2)$

on solving: $T=\frac{m g}{\sqrt{2}}$
