Mechanics Problem: Sliding Ring and Hoops on a Rough Surface

[BBAI BBAI]

Homework Statement

A ring of mass 100gm connecting freely two identical thin loops of mass 200gm each, starts sliding down from point A at t=0. The centres of loops are B and C.The loops move apart over a sufficciently rough horizontal surface.[Neglect the friction between the ring and the hoop]g=10 Find
i) The normal reaction acting on each loop given by the horizontal surface at t=0
ii)Acceleration of loop at t=0
Given angle ABC=ACB=45

Homework Equations

I had no idea of it...What to use?

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried to balance the forces acting at point A. but get nothing ..Thanks for help.

Is there a diagram for this problem? I am at loss trying to understand the setup.

See i had a diagram..but it is in GGB FILE..For at loss.. I am telling Draw two intersecting circles..Name the topmost point as A..The ring is at A and the centres of the circles are B and C.B and C are the loops. Did it help?? or what's your confusion??

Sorry, it is still unclear. Can't you take a screenshot and attach it here?

Sorry i don't have a mobile..But what's your problem..Tell .I shall try my best to clear it.

Seems they're rigid hoops, not loops, standing on a rough horizontal surface. The ring is arbitrarily small.
BBAI BBAI, Can you draw free body diagrams for the ring and for one hoop? What forces are there in each case? What equations can you write down (not forgetting everything is accelerating)?
Note that the geometry will give a relationship between the acceleration of the ring and the acceleration of the hoops.
