Three small identical spheres A 14.10 Variable Systems of

Chapter 14, Problem 14.55

(choose chapter or problem)

Three small identical spheres A, B, and C, which can slide on a horizontal, frictionless surface, are attached to three 9-in.-long strings, which are tied to a ring G. Initially the spheres rotate clockwise about the ring with a relative velocity of 2.6 ft/s and the ring moves along the x axis with a velocity \(\mathbf{v}_0=(1.3\ \mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{s})\mathbf{i}\). Suddenly the ring breaks and the three spheres move freely in the xy plane with A and B following paths parallel to the y axis at a distance a = 1.0 ft from each other and C following a path parallel to the x axis. Determine (a) the velocity of each sphere, (b) the distance d.
