Two particles of equal masses are connected by an inextensible string of length L. One of the masses is constrained to moves on the surface of a horizontal table. The string passes through a small hole in the table and the other mass is hanging below the table. The only constraint is that the first mass moves on the surface of the table. The number of degree of freedom of the masses string system is

A mass m is constrained to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is set in circular motion with radius r0 and angular speed ω0 by an applied force $$\overrightarrow {\bf{F}} $$ communicated through an inextensible thread that passesthrough a hole on the surface as shown in figure given below. Then, this force is suddenly doubled.
