End `A` of the bar `AB` in figure rests on a frictionless horizontal surface and end `B` is hinged. A horizontal force `vecF` of magnitude `120 N` is exerted on end `A`. You can ignore the weight of the bar. What is the net force exerted by the bar on the hinge at `B`? A. `200N`B. `140N`C. `100N`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The horizontal component of the force ederted on the bar by the hinge must balance the applied force `vecF`, nnd os has magnitude `120.0N` and is to the left. Taking torques bout point `A, (120.0N)(4.00m)+F_(v)(3.0m)` so the vertical componnet is `-160N, ` with the minus sign indicting a downward compnent, exerting torque in a directin opposite that of the horizontal component. the force exerted by the bar on the hinge is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the force exertd by the hinge on the bar.
Net force `sqrt("["(160)^(2))+(140)^(2)"]"=200N`

Two identical uniform solid spherical balls `A` and `B` of mass `m` each are placed on a the fixed wedge as shown in figure. Ball `B` is kept at rest and it is released just before two balls collides. Ball `A` rolls down without slipping on inclined plane and collide elastically with ball `B`. The kinetic energy of ball `A` just after the collision with ball `B` is: A. `(mgh)/7`B. `(mgh)/2`C. `(2mgh)/5`D. `(7mgh)/5`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Just before collision between two balls
Potential energy lost by bal `A=` kinetic energy gained by ball `A`.
`mgh/2=1/2I_(cm)omega^(2)+1/2mv_(cm)^(2)`
`=1/2xx2/5 mR^(2)xx((v_(cm))/R)^(2)+1/2mv_(cm)^(2)=1/5mv_(cm)^(2)+1/2mv_(cm)^(2)`
`implies5/7mgh=mv_(cm)^(2)implies(mgh)/7=1/5mv_(cm)^(2)`
After collision only translattion kinetic energy is transferred to ball `B`.
So just ater collision, rotational kinetic energy of ball
`A=1/5mv_(cm)^(2)=(mgh)/7`

`=2I_(1)+2I_(2)`
`=2(I_(1)+I_(2))[I_(1)=I_(3),I_(1)=I_(4)]`
now `I_(2)=I_(3)=(Ml^(2))/3`
using parallel axis theorem, we have
`I=I_(CM)+Mx^(2)` and `x=sqrt(l^(2)+(l/2)^(2))`
`I_(1)=I_(4)=(Ml^(2))/12+M[sqrt(l^(2)+(l/2)^(2))]`
putting all values we get

A particle, moving horizontally, collides perpendicularly at one end of a rod having equal mass and placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A. Particle comes to rest if collision is perfectly elastic and centre of m rod starts to move with the same velocity.B. Particle continues to move along the same direction, whatever is the value of `e`.C. Particle may get rebound back.D. Velocity of mid-point of the rod will be less than `v//2` if the particle gets stuck.

Answer» Correct Answer - B::D
Whenever two paticles having equal mass collide head on elastically, their velocities get interchanged. Therefore, if the particle collides at midpoint of the rod then velocities would get interchanged. In that case option a would be correct. But now the particle strikes at an end of the rod, hence particle head on collision does not take place. Therefore, option a is incorrect.
If the particle gets rebound back to its original path, then its final mometum will become negative. Since mass of the particle and rod is equal, therefore law of conservation of momenum will be satisfied only when velocity of centre of mass of the rod is greater than orginal velocity of te particle. Hence, kinetic energy of the system (just after collision) will become greater than that (just before the collision), which is impossible. Hence, the particle cannot rebound back or it will colntinue to move along the same direction. Hence, option b is correct but option c is incorrect. if the paticle gets stick to the rod, centre of mass o the system will lie at a distance `l//4` from theend at which the particle sticks. According to the law of conservation of momentum cenre of mass will start ot move wit velocity `v//2`. But the particle will simultaneously start to rotate about tecentre of mass m an anticlockwise direction. Angular velocity `omega` of that rotational motion can be calculated by applying law of mass `m` an anticlockwise direction. Angular velocity `omega` of that rotational motion can be calculated by applying law of conservation of angular momentum. Hence the resultant velocity of the midpoint of the rod will be equal to `[(v_(0))//2)-(lomega//4)]` which is obviously less than `v_(0)//2`. Therefore option d correct.

A equilaterial triangle `ABC` formed from a uniform wire has two small identical beads initially located at `A`. The triangle is set rotating about the vertical axis `AO`. Then the beads are released from rest simultaneously and allowed to slide down. one long. `AB` and the other along `AC` as shown. Neglecting frictional effects, the quantities that are conserved as the beads slide down, are. .A. angular velocity and total energy (kinetic and potential)B. total angular momentum and total energyC. angular velocity and moment of inertia about the axis of rotationD. total angular momentum and moment of inertia about the axis of rotation

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The `MI` about the axis of rotation is not rotation is not constant as the perpendicular distance of the bead with the axis of rotation increases.
Also since no external torque is acting, therefore,
`tau_(ext)=(dL)/(dt)`
`implies L=` constt.
`Iomega=`constt.
Since `l` increases `omega` decreases.

The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous exis passing through the centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless, stick as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed `omega` the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points P and Q). Both these motions have the same angular speed `omega` in this case Now consider two similar system as shown in the figure: Case (a) the disc with its face vertical and parallel to x-z plane, Case (b) the disc with its face making an angle of `45^@` with x-y plane and its horizontal diameter parallel to x-axis. In both the cases, the disc is welded at point P, and the systems are rotated with constant angular speed `omega` about the z-axis. Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?A. It is `sqrt(2)omega` for both the casesB. It is `omega` for case a and `omega/(sqrt(2))` for case bC. It is `omega` force case a and `sqrt(2)omega` for case bD. It is `omega` for both the case

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Angular speed about the instantaneous axis passing through centre of mass is `omega` for both the cases.

A solid sphere rolls down two different inclined planes of the same height but of different inclinationsA. the speeds will be same but time of descent will be differentB. . in both cases, the speeds and time of descent will be sameC. in both cases, the speeds and time of descent will be sameD. speeds and time of descent both will be different

Answer» Correct Answer - A
As ` sqrt((2gh)/(1+1/(MR^(2))))`
Hence velocity is independent of te inclination of the plane and depend any on height `h` through which body descends.
But because `t+1/(sintheta)sqrt((2h)/g(1+I/(MR^(2)))` depends on the inclination also, hence greater the inclination lesser will be the time of desced. Hence, in present cae the speeds will be same (became `h` is same) but time is decreased will be difference (because of different inclination)

The whole system is initially at rest. The man now walks along the outer edge of the turntable with a velocity of `1m//s` relative to the earth a. With what angular velocity and in what direction does the turntable rotate? b. Through what angle will it have rotated when the man reaches his initial position on the turntable? c. Through what angle will it have rotated when the man reaches his initial position relative to the earth?A. The table rotates through `2pi//11` radians anticlockwiseB. The table rotates through `4pi//11` radians clockwiseC. The table rotates through `4pi//11` radians anticlock-wiseD. The table rotates through `27pi//11 radians clockwise

Answer» Correct Answer - D
If the man completes one revolution relative to the table, then
`theta_(mt)=2pi`
`implies 2pi=theta_(m)-theta_(t)`
`2pi=theta_(m)t-omega_(t)t` (where `t` is the time taken)
`t=(2pi)/(omega_(m)-omega_(t))=(2pi)/(0.5-(-0.05))=(2pi)/0.55s`
Angular displacement of the table is
` theta_(t)=omega_(r)t=-0.05xx((2pi)/0055)`
`=-((2pi)/11)` radians
The table rotates through `2pi//11` radians clockwise.
