Two beads connected by a taut thread on friction-less wire ring Proof

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a statics problem involving two beads connected by a taut thread on a friction-less wire ring. Participants express uncertainty about how to approach the problem, with one mentioning the law of tangents and its potential relevance. There is a consensus that the solution likely involves concepts of equilibrium and free body diagrams. The need for clarity on the application of forces and their sums is emphasized. Overall, the focus is on guiding the initial steps to solve the problem effectively.

Not Really Sure

The Attempt at a Solution


No Idea where to start, I looked up the law of Tangents and it seems to do with that. Please help! :)
I am also confident that it has to do with equilibrium?

It's a statics question, right? So you should be thinking, free body diagrams, sums of forces...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
