As shown in the figure,two strings of length $l$ each are attached to a vertical axis $AB$ of length $l$. The strings are $AC$ and $BC$. At point $C$,a point mass $m$ is attached. The mass rotates about the axis with angular velocity $\omega$. The tensions in strings $AC$ and $BC$ are $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. Choose the $CORRECT$ alternative:

  • A
    $T_1 = T_2$
  • B
    String $AC$ will remain taut only if $\omega \geq \sqrt{g/l}$
  • C
    String $BC$ will remain taut for any value of $\omega$.
  • D
    $T_1 - T_2 = 2mg$

If the radius of curvature of the path of two particles of same masses are in the ratio $1 : 2$,then in order to have constant centripetal force,their velocity,should be in the ratio of

Two masses $M$ and $m$ are attached to a vertical axis by weightless threads of combined length $l$. They are set in rotational motion in a horizontal plane about this axis with constant angular velocity $\omega$. If the tensions in the threads are the same during motion,the distance of $M$ from the axis is

Two particles of mass $m$ are constrained to move along two horizontal frictionless rails that make an angle $2\theta$ with respect to each other. They are connected by a spring with spring constant $k$. The angular frequency of small oscillations for the motion where the two masses always stay at the same distance from the meeting point of the rails is:
