A little sphere of mass
hangs at the end of a very
long thread; to that sphere is, with a weightless rod, attached
another little sphere of mass
. The length of the rod is
.
Initially the system is in equilibrium. What horizontal velocity
needs to be given to the bottom sphere for it to ascend the
same height with the upper sphere? The sizes of the spheres
are negligible compared to the length of the rod.
