FIGURE 10-1
-The rotating systems shown in Fig. 10-1 differ only in that the two identical movable masses are positioned a distance r from the axis of rotation (left) , or a distance r/2 from the axis of rotation (right) . If you release the hanging blocks simultaneously from rest, and call t_L the time taken by the block on the left and t_R the time taken by the block on the right to reach the bottom, respectively, then

The Answer of FIGURE 10-1 -The rotating systems shown in Fig. 10-1 differ only in that the two identical movable masses are positioned a distance r from the axis of rotation (left), or a distance r/2 from the axis of rotation (right). If you release the hanging blocks simultaneously from rest, and call t_L the time taken by the block on the left and t_R the time taken by the block on the right to reach the bottom, respectively, then A)t_L = t_R. B)t_L = t_R. C)t_L = t_R. D)t_L = 2 t_R. E)t_L = 4 t_R.
