Let the tension in the rope BD just after cutting the rope AD be T .
Let us first find the acceleration and angular acceleration of COM .
θ = 37∘
Horizontal force equation :
mah,cm=Tcos(θ)
ah,cm=Tcos(θ)m
Vertical force equation :
mav,cm=mg−Tsin(θ)
av,cm=g−Tsin(θ)m
Torque equation about center ,
Tsin(θ)l2=ml212α
α=6Tsin(θ)ml
Since B is attached to the rope , it will perform circular motion about point D .
The acceleration of B towards the center =v2R.
At the instant when the rope is cut, the velocity of B is zero . Therefore acceleration of B along the rope is zero .
Vertical acceleration of B :
av,b=av,cm−lα2
av,b=g−Tsin(θ)m−l6Tsin(θ)2ml=g−4Tsin(θ)m
Horizontal acceleration of B :
ah,b=ah,cm=Tcos(θ)m
Net acceleration along the rope :
0=ah,bcos(θ)−av,bsin(θ)
0=(Tcos(θ)m)cos(θ)−(g−4Tsin(θ)m)sin(θ)
T(4sin2(θ)+cos2(θ))=mgsin(θ)
T=mgsin(θ)3sin2(θ)+1
given θ=37∘sin(θ)=35
T=mg353(35)2+1
T=15mg52
∴x=52
