A ring of mass m = 0.3 kg slides over a smooth vertical rod. Attached to the ring is a light string passing over a smooth fixed pulley at a distance of 0.8 m from the rod as shown in fig. At the other end of the string there is a mass M = 0.5 kg. The ring is held level with the pulley and then released.
A
