Find the angle between force vec(F) =(3hat(i)+4hat(j)-5hat(k)) unit and displacement vec(d)=(5hat(i)+4hat(j)+3hat(k)) unit , Also find the projection of F on d .

Answer»

Solution :`VEC(F) =3HAT(i)+4hat(j)-5hat(k)`
`vec(d) =5hat(i)+4hat(j)+3hat(k)`
`vec(F).vec(d) =(3hat(i)+4hat(j)-5hat(k)).(5hat(i)+4hat(j)+3hat(k))`
` = 15+16 - 15`
= 16 unit
` | vec(F) | = sqrt((3)^(2)+(4)^(2)+(-5)^(2))`
`= sqrt(9+16+25)`
` =sqrt(50)`
`|vec(F)| =sqrt((3)^(2)+(4)^(2)+(-5)^(2))`
`=sqrt(25+16+9)`
`= sqrt(50)`
`|vec(d)|=sqrt((3)^(2)+(4)^(2)+(-5)^(2))`
Now `vec(F).vec(d) =| vec(F) | |vec(d)| cos theta `
` :. cos theta= (vec(F).vec(d))/(|vec(F)||vec(d)|)`
`= 16/((sqrt(15))(sqrt(50)))`
` =16/15`
` :. cos theta =0.32`
`sin(90^(@) - theta) = 0.32 `
`90^(@) - theta =18^(@)40`
` :. theta = 90^(@) - 18^(@) 40`
` :.theta = 71^(@) 21 `
PROJECTION of F on d
=`F cos theta `
` = sqrt(50) xx0.32 `
` = 2.263` N

A ball rolls off the top of a stairway with a horizontal velocity of magnitude 150 cm/sec. The steps are 20 cm high and 20 cm wide. Which step will the ball hit first?

Answer»

Solution :Let x be the horizontal distance measured from the foot of the edge of the step, the BALL leaves the TOP of stairway to the point it hits the nth step.
`x=v_(0)t=1.5t`. …………….i
where `v_(0)` is the initial horizontal SPEED. The height of the ball drops through is
`y=nH=0.2n`..........ii
Where n is the NUMER of steps and H=20cm is the height of each step. As the vertical component of initial velocity is zero, the vertical distance TRAVERSED in the same time t is

`y=1/2"gt"^(2)`........iii
and `x=nw=0.2`n.......iv
`x=y=0.2n`........iv
`V_(0)t=1/2"gt"^(2),t=(2V_(0))/g=(2xx150xx10^(-2))/10`

In an aluminium sheet there is a hole diameter 1 m and is horizontally mounted on a stand. On this hole an iron sphere of diameter 1.004 m is resting. Initial temperature of this system is 25^(@)C. Find at what temperature, the iron sphere will fall down through the hole in sheet. The coefficients of linear expansion for aluminium and iron are 2.4xx10^(-5) and 1.2xx10^(-5) respectively.

Answer»

Solution :A value of coefficient of LINEAR expansion for aluminium is more than that for IRON, it expands faster than iron. So at some higher temperature when diameter of hole will exactlky become equal to that of iron sphere, the sphere will pass throughthe hole. Let it happen at some higher temperature T. Thus we have at this temperature T,
` ("diameter of hole")_(Al) = ("diameter of sphere")_("iron")`
`1[1+alpha_(Al) (T-25)]=1.004[1+alpha_("iron") (T-25)]`
`alpha_(Al)(T-25)=0.004+1.004 alpha_("iron") (T-25)`
`or T=((0.004)/(alpha_(Al) -1.004alpha_("iron"))+25)""^(@)C or T=(0.004)/(1xx2.4xx10^(-5)-1.004xx1.2xx10^(-5))+25 or T =359.7^(0)C`

A man stands on a rotating platform, with his arms stretched horizontally holding a 5 kg weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is 30 revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms Close to his body with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from 90 cm to 20 cm. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to 7.6 kg m^(2). (a) What is his new angular speed? (Neglect friction.) (6) Iskinetic energy conserved in the process? If not, from where does the change come about?

Answer»

Solution :(a) 58.88rpm, (b) No, KINETIC ENERGY is not conserved in the process. Infact, as moment ofinertia DECREASES. K.E. of rotation increases. This change comes about as work done by theman in BRINGING his arms closer to his body.

A cyclist speeding at 18 km/h on a level road takes a sharp circular turn of radius 3 m without reducing the speed. The co-efficient of static friction between the tyres and the road is 0.1. Will the cyclist slip while taking the turn?

Answer»

Solution :On an unbanked road, frictional force alone can provide the centripetal force needed to keep the cyclist moving on a circular TURN withoutslipping. If the SPEED is too large, or if the turn is too SHARP (i.e. of too small a radius) or both, the frictional force is not sufficient to provide the necessary centripetal force, and the cyclist slips. The condition for the cyclist not to slip is given by EQ.
`v^2 lt= mu_s Rg`
Now `R = 3M , g = 9.8 ms^(-2) , mu_s = 0.1`. That is`mu_s Rg = 2.94 m^2 s^(-2) .v = 19 km//h = 5 ms^(-1) , i.e., v^2 = 25 m^2 s^(-2)` .The condition is not obeyed. The cyclist will slip while taking the circular turn.

Two masses m_(1)kg and m_(2)kg passes over a pulley. Find the ratio of the masses m_(1) and m_(2) so that string passes over the pulley will just start slipping over is surface. The friction coefficient between the string and pulley surface is 0.2

Answer»

Solution :From the ideas of laws of motion, for the TWO masses, `m_(1)g-T_(1)=M_(1)a........(1)`
and `T_(2)-m_(2)g=m_(2)a.......(2)`
and if string STARTS slipping we have `T_(1)=T_(2)e^(mupi)`
SOLVING the above equations
`m_(1)(g-a)=m_(2)(g+a)e^(mupi)`
if string just slipps we can use a=0, THUS we have `m_(1)/m_(2)=e^(0.2pi)`
