A uniform rod of mass m and length l is suspended by means of two identical inextensible light strings as shown in figure. Tension in one string immediately after the other string is cut, is . (g acceleration due to gravity) [figure]

  1. mg/3
  2. mg/4
  3. mg
  4. mg/2

Answer

(2) mg/4

Solution

Just after string B is cut, the rod begins to rotate about end A (its angular velocity is still zero).

Torque about A: mg l2 = IA = ml23

= 3g2l

Acceleration of the centre of mass: acm = l2 = 3g4 (downward)

For the translation of the rod: mg - T = macm

T = mg - 3mg4 = mg4

Answer: (2)

The pulley shown in figure is made using a thin rim and two rods of length equal to diameter of the rim. The rim and each rod have a mass of M. Two blocks of mass of M and m are attached to two ends of a light string passing over the pulley, which is hinged to rotate freely in vertical plane about its center. The magnitude of the acceleration experienced by the blocks is (assume no slipping of string on pulley). [figure]
