This is yet another problem on the conservation of mechanical energy. The potential energy of
the dumbbell-earth system is taken to be zero when the balls in the bottom of the vertical ring.
At any arbitrary value of θ, the potential energy of he system is (see figure b).
K= .......(ii)
Whichever position the balls may slide to, the sum (U + K) always remains constant
(a) At the time of release, θ = 0 and v = 0, Substituting them in equation (i) and (ii)
Ut + Kt = mgR (5 – 3 sin 0° – 2 cos 0°) + 0 = 3mgR
At the time the rod is horizontal, θ = 45.0° and let the speed of the balls be v. Then
= mgR
Setting U1 + K1 = L1 + K2 ;
3mgR = mgR
or v = 0.784
(b) At the time the heavier ball reaches the bottom of the ring. θ = 90.0° and let speed of the balls be
v', Then :
= 2mgR +
But
U1 + K1 = U3 + K3
3mgR = 2mgR +
or v' = 0.632
(c) When the speed of the balls is the maximum the potential energy of the system the minimum so
that
⇒ tanθ =
⇒ θ = 56.3°
Thus, the minimum potential energy is :
Umin = mgR(5 – 3sin 56.3° – 2 cos 56.3°) = mgR (5 – )
The corresponding kinetic energy is Kmax = , where vmax is the maximum speed of the balls.
Applying energy conservation principle :
3mgR = mgR(5 – 3sinθmax – 2cosθmax)
⇒ 3sinθmax + 2cosθmax – 2 = 0
⇒ 13cos2θmax – 8cosθmax – 5 = 0
⇒ cosθmax = 1 or
⇒ θmax = 0° or 113°
The first solution is ignored because it corresponds to the initial position of the balls.
