The ratio between two horizontal speeds in this pendulum arrangement

[billtodd]

Homework Statement

To find the ratio between the horizontal speed of the stick with mass ##M## and the small point with mass ##m##.

Relevant Equations

Force equation and torque.

From the forces equation I can only understand from it that the forces' equations are:##N=Mg## and ##T\sin \theta=m\ell \ddot{\theta}##.

But I don't know how to find the Torques' equations.

Any help is appreciated.


N=Mg ##Tcos⁡θ+N=mg
