A small ball B of mass m is suspended with light inelastic string of length L from a block A of same mass m which can move on smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The ball is displaced by angle θ from equilibrium position & then released. The displacement of centre of mass of A + B system till the string becomes vertical is
Options
- AZero
- BL 2 1 - cos θ
- CL 2 1 - sin θ
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. L 2 1 - cos θ
Step-by-step solution
Δ y CM = - mL 1 - cos  θ + 0 m + m = L 2 1 - cos  θ
