A B R l Figure 4 One end of a light inextensible string of length 2l is attached to a fixed point A. A small smooth ring R of mass m is threaded on the string and the other end of the string is attached to a fixed point B. The point B is vertically below A, with AB = l. The ring is then made to move with constant speed V in a horizontal circle with centre B. The string is taut and BR is horizontal, as shown in Figure 4. (a) Show that BR = 3 4 l (2) Given that air resistance is negligible, (b) find, in terms of m and g, the tension in the string, (4) (c) find V in terms of g and l.
