Two steel balls are suspended by vertical strings (not necessarily of the same length), so that at rest they are just in contact, with their centres at the same height. One is pulled aside in the vertical plane defined by the strings and released when it is at a height H above its original position. Determine the maximum possible height to which the other can rise, and the condition (the mass ratio) for this to happen.
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
