A string of negligible mass, natural length LL has Young's modulus YY. The string hangs from roof with masses m1m_1 and m2m_2 as shown in the figure. If mass m2m_2 is removed gently, the mass m1m_1 is just able to bounce back upto point OO. Find the ratio m2/m1\mathrm{m}_2 / \mathrm{m}_1. (string will not obstruct the motion of mass m1\mathrm{m}_1 and system is initially in equilibrium). A string of negligible mass, natural length L has Young's modulus Y . The string hangs from roof with masses m_1 and

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

Using condition of equilibrium KL=(m1+m2)g\mathrm{KL}=\left(\mathrm{m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2\right) \mathrm{g} Using COME 12KL2=m1 g(2 L)&⇒m1=KL4 g=(m1+m2)4&⇒3 m1=m2=m2/m1=3\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{KL}^2=\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{~g}(2 \mathrm{~L}) \& \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}_1=\frac{\mathrm{KL}}{4 \mathrm{~g}}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2\right)}{4} \& \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~m}_1=\mathrm{m}_2=\mathrm{m}_2 / \mathrm{m}_1=3\end{aligned}
