The Rotating Systems Shown in the Figure Differ Only in That

question 1

Multiple Choice

The rotating systems shown in the figure differ only in that the two identical movable masses are positioned a distance r from the axis of rotation (left) , or a distance r/2 from the axis of rotation (right) . If you release the hanging blocks simultaneously from rest, and call t_L the time taken by the block on the left and t_R the time taken by the block on the right to reach the bottom, respectively, then

• A) t_L > t_R.
• B) t_L = t_R.
• C) t_L < t_R.
