A ring of mass m 0 3 kg can slide freely on smooth vertical rod A light and inextensible string is connected to the ring and passes over a smooth and fixed pulley as shown in the figure The distance of the pulley from the rod is 0 8 m and the other end of the string is connected to a block of mass M 0 5 kg The ring is held in level with pulley and then released from rest Determine a the distance by which the ring moves down before coming to rest for the first time b how far below the initial position is the equilibrium point M L 0 8 m ME
