impulse

two blocks A and B of mass M and 2M are connected by a string of length 3L. The block B is released from the position shown. When the string is just taut, the velocities of blocks and impulse tension in the string will be ??

this is not very tough.. but not very easy either..

See what will happen after the string just goes down to the exact length 2l?

The string will apply imipulse on both the blocks... Equal in magnitude!!

Hence it will be like a collision.. without ur realising it :O

why would the velocities of the blocks not be √4gl/3?
would the energy b conserved

the velocity when it just is about to make the string taut is

2gH= √2g.2l = 2√gl

after collision it will be

2√gl.m = 3mv

v= 2/3√gl

I din understand ur logic of saying why it should have been the value u put it at?!

sorry the 3 came inside the root

but i was thinking why should we not take tension as an external force

got it
just an insignificant thought
thanx btw
