The following set of figures shows components of a mechanical system in figure 1 and assembled system in figure 2 There are two small balls of mass m and 2m a massless tube of length L a spring of natural length L and an inextensible massless rope of length L In the assembly the string holds the two balls in position keeping the spring compressed The arrangement lies on a smooth horizontal table x y plane as shown At this moment the velocity of centre of mass of system is voi and angular velocity is ok Take this moment as t 0 y axis hollow tube 2 m 2V0 2 C mL Vo 1 2m Figure 1 The kinetic energy of the system in centre of mass frame is A maL B moL No x L string reeeeeeeeeeee spring m D mL Angular momentum of the system about origin of the table frame where the point 2m is located at origin at t 0 is L A 3 mL 0 L B 0 0 2m Figure C mexL 1 ML v 0 LK x axis D mL vo L
