CoM = Centre of Mass
Magn = Magnitude
let us say that we have a circle shaped ring (like those rings from basketball) with a radius (R) and with its own mass (M). let us say that there is a string that is tied to this ring and that the string would be tied to a fixed ceiling. the ring is then released from its rest and drops down.
FIND:
a) da tension in the string
b) lets find the Magn of of the acceleration of the CoM
c) also pls find the speed of the CoM after the ring fell thru a distance of L
