The discussion centers on the tension in circular motion for two ropes supporting masses. It is established that the maximum tensions, T1max and T2max, are equal when applying the centripetal force formula F = mv^2/R. However, it is clarified that while tensions may be equal, the velocities of the masses must be calculated separately, as they do not experience the same centripetal force due to differing masses. This distinction is crucial for understanding the dynamics of the system.
PREREQUISITESPhysics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the principles of tension and centripetal force in circular motion scenarios.
You have to calculate velocities for both masses as time period is same you can get relation between velocities. Here both masses is not moving with same centripetal forceLori said:
