Homework Statement
The half a sphere with a 'm' mass and 'r' radius is equilibrated on a plan absolutely polished horizontal with the side of the AB wire. So the surface of the half a sphere has with the horizontal plan an alpha angle. Find, after the break of the wire, the velocity of the O center and her maximal value too, also the maximal value of the pressure of the half-sphere over the horizontal. Find that for small angles it behaves like a mathematical pendulum.
