6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
hard

Two uniform rods of equal length but different masses are rigidly joined to form an $L$ -shaped body, which is then pivoted as shown. If in equilibrium the body is in the shown configuration, ratio $M/m$ will be:

A

$2$

B

$3$

C

$\sqrt 2 $

D

$\sqrt 3 $

Solution

Taking Moments about point $'O'$

clockwise moments $=$ Anticlockwise moments, $M g \times \frac{l}{2} \sin \left(30^{\circ}\right)=m g \times \frac{l}{2} \sin \left(60^{\circ}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{M}{2}=m \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\therefore \frac{M}{m}=\sqrt{3}$
