A 2000 kg car has to go over a turn whose radius is `750 m` and the abgle of slopw is `5^(@)`. The coefficient of friction between the wheels and the road is 0.5. What should be the maximum speed of the car so that it may go over the turn without slipping ?

Answer» Correct Answer - `67.2m//s` .
Here, `m = 2000kg, r = 750cm`
`theta = 5^(@), mu_(s) = 0.5, upsilon_(max) = ?`
`upsilon _(max) = [[rg(mu_(s) + tan 0))/((1 - mu _(s) tan theta))]^(1//2)`
`[(750 xx 9.8 (0.5 + tan5^(@)))/(1 - 0.5 tan5^(5))]^(1//2)`
`=[(750 xx 9.8 (0.5 + 0.087))/(1 - 0.5 xx 0.087)]^(1//2)`
`upsilon_(max) =67.2 m//s` .

A package rest on a conveyor belt which is initially at rest . The belt is started and moves to the right for `1.3 s` with a constant acceleration of `2 m//s^(2)`. The belt then moves with a constant deceleration `a_(2)` and comes to a stop after a total displacement of `2.2 m` . Knowing that the coefficient of friction between the package and the belt are `mu_(s) = 0.35` and `mu_(k) = 0.25` , determine (a) the deceleration `a_(2)` of the belt , (b) the displacement of the package relative to the belt as the belt comes to a stop. `(g = 9.8 m//s^(2))`

Answer» (a) `nu = a_(1) t_(1) = 2.6 m//s`
`s_(1) = (1)/(2) a_(1) t_(1)^(2) = (1)/(2) xx 2 xx (1.3)^(2) = 1.69 m`
`s_(2) = (2.2 - 1.69) = 0.51 m`
and `s_(2) = (nu^(2))/(2 a_(2))`
`:. a_(2) = (nu^(2))/(2 s_(1)) = (2.6)^(2)/(2 xx 0.51) = 6.63 m//s^(2)`
and `t_(2) = (nu)/(a^(2)) = 0.4 s`
(b) Acceleration of package will be `2 m//s^(2)` while retardation will be `mu_(k)g or 2.5 m//s^(2) "not" 6.63 m//s^(2)`
for the package.
`nu = a_(1) t_(1) = 2.6 m//s implies s_(1) = (1)/(2) a_(1) t_(1) = 1.69m`
` s_(2) = nut_(2) - (1)/(2) d_(2) t_(2)^(2) = 2.6 xx 0.4 - (1)/(2) xx 2.5 xx (0.4)^(2)`
`= 0.84 m`
`:.` displacement of package w.r.t. belt
`= (0.84 - 0.51) m = 0.33 m`

A lift is going up. The total mass of the lift and the passengers is 1500 kg . The variation in the speed of the lift is given by the graph shown in Fig . What will be the tension in the rope pulling the lift at (i) `t = 1 s` , (ii) `t =6 s` (iii) `t = 11 s` ? What is the height to which the lift takes the passengers ? During the course of entirs motion What is the average velocity and average acceleration of the lift ? Taken `g = 9.8 m//s^(2) ` .

Answer» Here , ` m = 1500 kg , T = R = ? `
(i) From 0 to 2 s , u = 0, `upsilon = 3.6 m //s`,
`a = (upsilon-u)/t =(3.6 - 0 )/0 = 1.8 m// s^(2) `
As acceleration is unifrom therefore at t = 1 s ,
` a = 1.8 m//s^(2) `
`:. R= m (g+a) = 1500 (9.8 + 1.8) `
`1500 xx 11.6 = 17400 N`
(ii) From the graph we find that at t = 6 s,a=0 .
`:. R = mg = 1500 xx 9.8 N = 14700 N `
(iii) At `t = 11 s` :
From the graph the velocity of body is decreasing at a constant rate , From `t = 10 s` to `t = 12 s`
`a = (0-3.6)/(2) = - 1.8 m//s^(2)`
This is the retardation at `t = 11 s `
`:. R = m (g+a) = 1500 (9.8 - 1.8)`
`12000 N`
The height to which the lift takes the passengers = area of trapezium oABC
`=(( AB + OC )/(2))AD = (8+2)/2 xx 3.6 = 36 m`
` =(( AB + OC )/(2))AD = (8+2)/2 xx 3.6 = 36 m`
As initial velocity of lift =0 and final velocity of lift is also zero , thereforce , change in velocity of lift , Delta upsilon = 0 . Average acceleration of lift ,
`a_(av) = (Delta upsilon)/(t) = (0)/(2)` = Zero
Further in 12 secound, net displacement is zero . Therefore , average velocity is zero.

Answer» Here , ` u = 0 , s = 1.5 m , t = 0.4 s `
From ` s = ut + (1)/(2) at^(2) `
` 1.5 = 0 + (1)/(2) a (0.4)^(2) , `
` a = (1.5 xx 2 )/(0.4 xx 0.4 )= 18 . 75 m // s^(2) `
As the string is moving upwards with this acceleration
` :. T = m (g+a) = 2 (9.8 + 18 . 75) = 57 .1 N ` .

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) Given, `u=0ms=15 m,t=0.4s`
From `s=ut(1)/(2) at^(2) implies 1.5 =0+(1)/(2)a(0.4)^(2)`
`implies a=(1.5xx2)/((0.4)^(2))=18.75 ms^(-2)`
As the string is moving upwards with in acceleration
`therefore T=m(g+a)=2(9.8+18.75)=57.1 N`

(ii) In day life the relation
`F xx t ` = change in linear momentum = constant implies that to achieve any goal or to affect any change the product of force and time shall be constant when your efforts are weak you require longer time to achieve the goal .

A bomb at rest explodes into three parts of the same mass. The linear momenta of the two parts are `-2phati` and `p hati` Calculate the magnitude of momentum of third part .

Answer» Correct Answer - `psqrt5` .
Here, `vec(p_1) = -2 phati = 2p` along negative X-axis
`vec(p_(2)) = p hat j = p` along Y-axis
Resultant momentum of the two parts
`p = sqrt(p_(1)^(2) + p_(2)^(2)) = sqrt((2 p)^(2) + p^(2)) = p sqrt5`
As the bomb was initially at rest final momentum of all the three parts must be zero.
`vec(p_(3)) + vec(p) = 0 `
`vec(p_(3)) = - vec(p)= - p sqrt(5) = p sqrt(5)` (in magnitude).

Answer» Correct Answer - `10 sqrt2 m//s` .
Here, `m = 1kg`
`m_(1) : m_(2) : m_(3) = 1 : 1: 3`
`:. M_(1) = (1)/(5)kg, m_(2) = (1)/(5)kg, m_(3) =(3)/(5)kg`
`upsilon_(1) = upsilon_(2) = 30 m//s, upsilon_(3) =` ?
`p_(1) = p_(2) = m_(1) upsilon_(1) = m_(2) upsilon_(2)`
`= (1)/(5) xx 30 = 6 kg m//s`
As these two pieces fly off perpendicular to each other their resultant momentum
`sqrt(p_(1)^(2) + p_(2)^(2)) = sqrt(6^(2) + 6^(2)) = 6sqrt2kgm//s`
As the body was initially at rest therefore from the principle of conservation of linear momentum
`p_(3) =m_(3) upsilon_(3) =6sqrt2 kg m//s`
`upsilon_(3) = (6sqrt2)/(m_(3))= (6sqrt2)/(3//5) = 10 sqrt2 m//s` .

A circular racetrack of radius 300 m is banked at an angle of `15^(@)` If the coefficient of friction between the wheels of a race car and the road is 0.2 what is the (a) optimum speed of the race car to avoid wear and tear on its tyres , and (b) maximum permissible speed to aviod slipping ?A. `10sqrt3 "ms"^(-1)`B. `9sqrt10 "ms"^(-1)`C. `sqrt10 "ms"^(-1)`D. `2sqrt10 "ms"^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Here, R=300m, `theta=15^(@), g=10ms^(-2), mu=0.2` The optimum speed of the car to avoid wear and tear is given by
`v=sqrt(Rg tan theta)=sqrt(300xx10xxtan 45^(2))=sqrt(810)=9sqrt10ms^(-1)`

Assertion : Force of friction depends on the actual area of contact Reason : Smoother the surfaces of contact smaller is opposition to motion .A. If both, Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the AssertionB. If both, Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the AssertionC. If Assertion is ture but the Reason is falseD. If both, Assertion and Reason are false

Answer» Correct Answer - d
Force of friction is independent of the actual area of contact Statement `1` is false but Statement -2 is true .
