Three identical elastic cords each of force constant k and almost zero relaxed lengths are connected at their one end to a particle of mass m and the other ends of the cords are connected to three equally spaced points A B and C on a rigid ring placed on a frictionless tabletop Mass of the ring is n 2 times the mass of the particle In equilibrium the system stays at rest with the particle at the centre of the ring Now the ring is held and the particle is pulled horizontally to a point P at a distance ro from the centre O of the ring and then both of them set free simultaneously a Find period of the oscillatory motion b Assume initial location of the centre of the ring as origin and the line OP as the x axis express position of particle x and centre of the ring no funct of tir B
