Jumping Ring

0 pts ended
A ring of mass M hangs from a thread, and two beads of mass m slideon it without friction. The beads are released simultaneously fromrest at the top of the ring and slide down opposite sides.

Show that the ring will start to rise if m>3/2 M, and findthe angle at which this occurs.
Clue: If M=0, cos=2/3
