A particle of mass mm is revolving in a horizontal circle on a frictionless horizontal table with the help of a string tied to it and passing through a hole at the center of the table. Two equal masses MM are attached to the other end of the string as shown. If one of the hanging masses MM is removed gently, the radius of the circular motion of mm A particle of mass m is revolving in a horizontal circle on a frictionless horizontal table with the help of a string
