POR is a rigid equilateral triangular frame of side length .L.. Forces F_(p) F_(2) and F_(3) are acting along PQ, QR and PR. Find the relation between the forces if system is in equilibrium.

Answer»

Solution :If the system is in rotational equilibrium find the relation between the FORCES,

Perpendicular distance of any force shown in the figure from centroid .C. of triangle is `L//2SQRT3`.
The forces `F_(1)` and `F_(2)` PRODUCE anti-clockwise turning effect where as `F_(3)` clockwise turning effect about .C..
Since the system is in rotational equilibrium the total TORQUE acting on the system about the centroid is zero.
`:.F_(1)xx(L)/(2sqrt3)+F_(2)xx(L)/(2sqrt3)+F_(2)xx(L)/(2sqrt3)-F_(3)xx(L)/(2sqrt3)=0`
Hence `F_(1)+F_(2)-F_(3)=0`
`:.F_(3)+F_(1)-F_(2)`.

A point mass m connected to one end of inextensible string of length l and other end of string is fixed at peg. String is free to rotate in vertical plane. Find the minimum velocity given to the mass in horizontal direction so that it hits the peg in its subsequent motion.

Answer»

Solution :Tension in string is zero at point P in its subsequent motion, after this point its motion is projectile. Velocity at point P, `T=0`.
`impliesmgcostheta=(mv^2)/(L) v=sqrt(glcostheta)`
ASSUME its projectile motion start at point P and it passes through point C. So that EQUATION of TRAJECTORY satisfy the co-ordinate of `C(lsintheta, -lcostheta)`

Equation of trajectory,
`y=xtantheta-(gx^2)/(2v^2cos^2theta)`
`=(lsintheta)tantheta-(g(lsintheta)^2)/(2(glcostheta)cos^2theta)`
`=-costheta=(sin^2theta)/(costheta)-1/2(sin^2theta)/(2cos^3theta)`
`implies-2cos^4theta=2sin^2thetacos^2theta-sin^2theta`
`impliessin^2theta=2sin^2thetacos^2theta+2cos^4theta`
`=2cos^2theta(sin^2theta+cos^2theta)`
`impliestan^2theta=2`
`impliestantheta=sqrt2` hence, `costheta=1/sqrt3`, `sintheta=sqrt(2/3)`
From energy CONSERVATION between point P and A,
`1/2m u^2=1/2mv^2+mg(1+costheta)`
`impliesu^2=v^2+2gl(1+costheta)`
`=2gl+3glcostheta=2gl+3gl(1)/(sqrt3)`
`impliesu=[(2+sqrt3)gl]^(1//2)`

Discuss the properties of scaiar and vector

Answer»

Solution :Properties of scalar product are:
(i)The product quantity`vec(A), vec(B)`is always a sxalar. It is positive if the angle between the vectors is acule(i.e.,`theta lt 90^(@)`. It is negative if the angle between them is obtuse(i.e.,`90^(@) lt theta lt 180^(@) ` )
(ii)The scalar product obeys commutative law i.e.,`vec(A). vec(B) = vec(B). vec(A)`
(iii)The vectors obeys distributive law i.e.,`vec(A) . (vec(B) + vec(C)) = vec(A) . vec(B) + vec(A) . vec(C)`
(iv)The angle between the vectors ,
`theta = cos^(-1)[(vec(A).vec(B))/(AB)]`
(v)The scalar product of two vectors will be maximum when`cos theta = 1, i.e. theta = 0^(@),"so"(vec(A) . vec(B))_("max") = AB`
(vi)The scalar product of two vectors will be MINIMUM, when ` cos theta = - 1, i.e., theta = 180^(@)` .When the vectors are anti-parallel.
`(vec(A). vec(B))_("min") = - AB`
(vii)If two vectors`vec(A) and vec(B)`are perpendicular to each other then their scalar product`vec(A) . vec(B) = 0 ` , because`cos 90^(@) = 0`. Then the vectors `vec(A) and vec(B)`are said to be mutually orthogonal .
(viii)The scalar product of a vector with itself is termed as self-dot product. ITIS given by`(vec(A))^(2) = vec(A) . vec(A) = A A cos theta = A^(2)` .Here angle`theta = 0^(@)`
The magnitude of the vector is given by`vec(A) is|vec(A)| = A = sqrt(A) . vec(A)`
(ix)In case of a unit vector , `hat (n)`
` hat (n) . hat(n) = 1 xx 1 xx cos 0 = 1 `. For example,` hat (i) . hat (i) = hat (j) . hat (j)= hat (k) . hat (k) = `
(x)In the case of orthogonal unit vectors`hat (i) . hat (j) and hta(k)` ,
`hat (i). hat(j) = hat(j) . hat (k) = hat(k) . hat (i) = 1.1 cos 90^(@) = 0 `
(xi)In terms of components the scalar product of ` vec(A) and vec(B)`can be written as
`vec(A) . vec(B) = (A, hat (i) + A hat(j) + A, hat(k)).(B, hat(i) + B, hat(j) + B, hat(k))`
` = A_(x) B_(x) + A_(y) B_(y) + A_(z) B_(z)`,With all other terms zero.
The magnitude of vector `|vec(A)|`is given by
`|vec(A)| = A = sqrt(A_(x)^(z)+A_(y)^(2)+A_(z)^(2))`
Properties of vector (cross)product are :
(i)The vector product of any two vectors is always another vector whose direction is perpendicular to the piane CONTAINING these two vectors , i.e., orthogonal to both the vectors `vec(A) and vec(B)`. In this case. the vectors `vec(a)and vec(B)`may or may not be mutually othogonal .
(ii)The vector of two vectors is not commutative,i.e.,`vec(A) xx vec(B) ne vec(B) xx vec(A) `But .,`vec(A)xx vec(B) = - [ vec(B) xx vec(A)]`.
But, `|vec(A) xx vec(B)| = |vec( B) xx vec(A)| = AB sin theta i.e., `in the case of the product vectors`vec(A) xx vec(B) and vec(B) xx vec(A)`, the magnitudes are equal but directions are oppositeto each other .
(iii)The vector product of two vectors will have maximum magnitude when sin `theta = 1, i.e., theta =90^(@)`i.e., when the vectors `vec(A) and vec(B)`are orthogonal to each other .
`(vec(A) xx vec(B))_("max") = AB hat(n)`
(iv)The vector product of two non-zero vectors will be minimum when`|sin theta| = 0,i.e., theta = 0^(@) or 180^(@)`
`(vec(A) xx vec(B))_("min") = 0 `
If the vectors are either parallel or anti parallel i.e., then the vector product of twonon-zero vectors vanishes.
(v)The self - cross product, i.e., product of a vector with itself is the null vector
`vec(A) xx vec(A) = A A sin 0^(@) hat(n) = vec(0)`
The null vector `vec(0)`is SIMPLE denoted as zero in physics.
(vi)The self-vector products of unit vectors are thus zero .
`hat(i) xx hat (i) = hat(j) xx hat (j) = hat (k) xx hat (k) = vec(0)`
(vii)In the case of orthogonal unit vectors,`hat(i), hat(j), hat(k)`in accordance with the right hand screw rule
`hat (i) xx hat(j) = hat (k), hat(j) xx hat (k) = hat(i) and hat (k) xx hat (i) = hat(j)`
Also, since the cross product is not commutative,
`hat(j) xx hat(i) = - hat(k), hat(k) xx hat(j) = - hat(i) and hat(i) xx hat(k) = - hat(j)`
(viii)In terms of components the vector product of two vectors`vec(A) and vec(B)` is`vec(A) xx vec(B)=|{:(hat(i),hat(j),hat(k)),(A_(x),A_(y),A_(z)),(B_(x),B_(y),B_(z) ):}|`
`{{:(hat(i)(A_(y)B_(z)-A_(z)B_(y))),(+hat(j)(A_(z)B_(x)-A_(x)B_(z))),(+hat(k)(A_(x)B_(y)-A_(y)B_(x))):}`
Notethat in the `hat(j)^(th)`component the order of multiplicationis different than`hat(i)^(th)andhat(k)^(th)`components .
(ix)Iftwo vectors `vec(A) and vec(B)` form adjacent sides in a parallelogram, then the magnitude of `|vec(A) xx vec(B)|`will give the area of the parallelogram as represented GRAPHICALLY in the figure.
(x)Since a parallelogram is divided into twoequal triangles as shown in the figure, the area of a triangle with `vec(A) and vec(B)`as sides is`(1)/(2) |vec(A) xx vec(B)|`.

a) The far point of a myopic person is 80 cm in front of the eye. What is the power of the lens required to enable him to see very distant objects clearly? B) In what way does the corrective lens help the above person? Does the lens magnify very distant objects? Explain carefully. (c ) The above person prefers to remove his spectacles while reading a book. Explain why?

Answer»

Solution :a) u=a,v=-80=.08m F=? `1/F=1/v-1/4`
`implies 1/F=1/0.8 1/a F=-8/10`
Power `P=1/F=-10/8=-5/4=-1.25D`
(b) No the corrective lens is concave and in fact it reduces in size of the image. The eye is able to see distant objects not because the corrective lens magnifies the object, but because it brings the object (i.e., it produces VIRTUAL image of the object) at the FAR point of the eye which then can be focused by the eye lens on the RETINA.
c) The myopic person may have a normal near point i.e., about 25 cm (or even less) In order to read s book with his spectacles (for distant vision), he must keep the book at a distance greater than 25 cm so that the image of the book by the concave lens is produced not closer than 25cm. As the angular size of the book at a distance `gt 25cm` is less than the angular size at 25cm, the person prefers to REMOVE his spectacles while reading.

Thisis shown in figure .Obtain a expression for (i) v_(0) (ii) the ratio of the kinetic energies (K_(B)/(K_(C ))) at B and C . Comment on the nature of the trajectroy of the bob after it reaches the point C .

Answer»

Solution :Two forces acting on bob. (i)Gravity and (ii) the tension T in the string .the work is not done by tensionin the string.because dispalcement of bob is always normal to the string .
The potential energy of the bob is thus associated with the gravitational force only and mechanical energy of the system is conserved .

A uniform rod of mass m and length l rests on a smooth horizontal surface. One of the ends of the rod is struck in a horizontal direction at right angles to the rod. As a result the rod obtains velocity v_(0). Find the force with which one-half of the rod will act ont he other in the process of motion.

Answer»

Solution :
LET `J` be the linear impulse applied at B and `OMEGA` and angular speed of rod
`J=mv_(0)`..(i) ,BRGT `J((l)/(2))=(ml^(2))/(12).omega`.(ii)
solving these two equations
`omega=(6v_(0))/(l)`
Linear speed of D (mid-point of CB) relative C
`v=omega((l)/(4))=(3)/(2)v_(0)`
`therefore` force exerted by upper half on the LOWER half

A sample of 0.1 g of water at 100^@ C and normal pressure (1.013 xx 10^5 Nm^(-2)) requires 54 cal of heat energy to convert to steam at 100^@ C. If the volume of the steam produced is 167.1 cc, the change in internal energy of the sample is ____

Answer»

<P>84.5 J
104.3 J
42.2 J
208.7 J

Solution :`DeltaQ`=54 cal = `54xx4.18`J =225.72 J …(1)
`DeltaW=PDeltaV`
`=P(V_2-V_1)` `V_2`=volume of steam
`V_1`=volume of water
`=1.013xx10^5[167.1xx10^(-6)- 0.1xx10^(-6)]`
[`because` 1CC=`10^(-6) m^3`]
`=1.013xx10^5xx167xx10^(-6)`
`DeltaW` = 16.917 ..(2)
Now `DeltaU=DeltaQ-DeltaW`
=225.72 - 16.917 [`because` From equ. (1) and (2)]
=208.8 J
`therefore DeltaU` = 208.7 J nearest value
