A heavy particle hanging from a fixed point by a light inextensible sting of length 'l' is projected horizontally with speed (gl)^1/2. Find the speed of the particle and the inclination of the string to the vertical at the instant of the motion when the tension in the string equal to the weight of the particle.^.

initially total energy (TE) = mu²/2 + PE = mu²/2 (PE of ground is taken 0)

=mu²/2

when it sustends @ with verticle then let its velocity is v ...

finally total energy = mv²/2 + PE

PE = mgR(1-cos@) , so total energy finally

TE = mv²/2 + mgR(1-cos@) .............2

since total energy is conserved so eq1 = eq2

mv²/2 + mgR(1-cos@) = mu²/2 ................3

now let tention in string at this pos is T then

T - mgcos@ = mv²/R

T = mg (given) , so

mv² = (mg-mgcos@)R ............4

solving eq 4 & 3

3(1-cos@) = 1

cos@ = 2/3

@ = cos^-1(2/3)

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.
