Question 44
PHMSQ2 marksNeeds review
A uniform block of mass
slides on a smooth horizontal bar. Another mass
is connected to it by an inextensible string of length
of negligible mass, and is constrained to oscillate in the X-Y plane only. Neglect the sizes of the masses. The number of degrees of freedom of the system is two and the generalized coordinates are chosen as
and
, as shown in the figure. 
If
and
are the generalized momenta corresponding to
and
, respectively, then the correct option(s) is(are)Your answerSelect all correct options. You can choose more than one.
