The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium,the angle $\theta$ should be:

  • A
    $\cos ^{-1}(1)$
  • B
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
  • C
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
  • D
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$

Two blocks $A$ and $B$,each of the same mass,are attached by a thin inextensible string through an ideal pulley. Initially,block $B$ is held in position as shown in the figure. Now,block $B$ is released. Block $A$ will slide to the right and hit the pulley in time $t_A$. Block $B$ will swing and hit the surface in time $t_B$. Assume the surface is frictionless. [Hint: Tension $T$ in the string acting on both blocks is the same in magnitude. Acceleration needed for horizontal motion is provided by $T$.]
