A large mass M hangs stationary at the end of a light string that passes through
smooth fixed ring to a small mass m that moves around in a horizontal circular path. If
is the length of the string from m to the top end of the tube and
is angle between this part and vertical part of the string as shown in the figure, then time taken by m to complete one circle is equal to
