Work Energy And Power Question 212

Question: Two identical beads of $ m=100 $ gram are connected by an inextensible massless string can slide along the two arms AC and BC of a rigid smooth wire frame in a vertical plane. If the system is released from rest, the kinetic energy of the first particle when they have moved by a distance of 0.1 m is $ x \times {10^{-3}}J $ . Find the value of $ x.( g=10m/s^{2} )~~~~~~ $

Options:

A) 18

B) 29

C) 36

D) 45

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] let, the string make angle θ with the horizontal bar.

let, the first bead has velocity $=V _{1}$

Second bead velocity $=V _{2}$

now, equaliting the componets of velocity of the beads along the string,

$V _{1} cos \theta =V _{2}sin \theta$

$V _{1} \times \frac{0.9}{0.5}=V _{2} \times \frac{0.3}{0.5}$

$V _{2} =\frac{9}{3}V _{1}$

now, the second bead descend by 0.1 m so, from conservation of energy

mgh $=\frac{1}{2}m{V _1}^2 +\frac{1}{2}m{V _2}^2$

or $10 \times 0.1=\frac{1}{2}({V _1}^2+\frac{16}{9} {V _1}^2)$

or $2=\frac{25}{9}{V _1}^2$

or ${V _1}^2=\frac{18}{25}$

kinetic energy of the first bead

K1 $=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{100}{1000} \times \frac{18}{25}$

∵$m=\frac{100}{1000}kq$

$=36 \times 10^-3$

$∵{V _1}^2=\frac{18}{25}$

The correct answer is 36
