(d) According to the definition of centre of mass, we can imagine one particle of mass `(1 + 2 + 3) kg at (1,2,3)` , another particle of mass `(2 + 3) kg at (-1, 3, -2)`
Let the third particle of mass `5 kg` put as `(x_3,y_3,z_3)` i.e.,
`m_1 = 6kg, (x_1,y_1,z_1) = (1,2,3)`
`m_2 = 5 kg(x_2,y_2,z_2) = (-1, 3, - 2)`
`m_1 = 5 kg(x_3,y_3, z_3) = (1,2,3)`
Given, `(X_(CM), Y_(CM), Z_(CM) = (1,2,3)`
Using `X_(CM) = (m_1 x_1 + m_2 x_2 + m_3 x_3)/(m_1 + m_2 + m_3)`
`1 = (6 xx 1 + 5 xx(-1)+ 5x_3)/(6 + 5 + 5)`
`5 x_3 = 16-1 = 15` or `x_3 = 3`
Similarly, `y_3 = 1 and z_3 = 8`.

Then the loss in kinetic energy in kilojoules is :A. `2.5`B. `3.0`C. `3.5`D. `4.0`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) `I_1 = 1 kg m^2, omega_1 = 100 rad//sec`
Since the mass is doubled,
`I_2 = (M_2 R^2)/(2) = (2 M.R^2)/(2) = 2 I_1 = 2 kgm^2`
Conservation of angular momentum,
`I_1 omega_1 = I_2 omega_2` or `1 xx 100 = 2 xx omega_2`
or `omega_2 = 50 rad//sec`
`E_1 = (1)/(2) I_1 omega_1^2 = (1)/(2) xx 1 xx (100)^2 = 5 xx 10^3 J`
`E_2 = (1)/(2) I_2 omega_2^2 = (1)/(2) xx 2 xx (50)^2 = 2.5 xx 10^3 J`
Loss in `KE = E_1 - E_2 = 5 xx 10^3 - 2.5 xx 10^3 = 2.5 kJ`.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
(d) Let the cylinder go up the plane upto a height `h`. Let `M` and `R` be the mass and radius of cylinder respectively. According to law of conservation of mechanical energy, we get.
`(1)/(2) Mv^2 + (1)/(2) I omega^2 = Mgh`
`(1)/(2) Mv^2 + (1)/(2) (MR^2)/(2) omega^2 = Mgh`
(because For a solid cylinder, `I = (1)/(2) MR^2`)
`(1)/(2) Mv^2 + (1)/(4) MR^2 omega^2 = Mgh`
`(1)/(2) Mv^2 + (1)/(4) Mv^2 = Mgh` `(because v = R omega)`
`(3)/(4) Mv^2 = Mgh`
`h = (3 v^2)/(4 g)` ...(i)

(a) At the highest point of the trajectory,
`x = (1)/(2) R = (v_i^2 sin 2 theta)/(2 g)` and `y = h_(max) = ((v_i sin theta)^2)/(2 g)`
The angular momentum is then
`vec L_1 = vec r_1 xx m vecv_1`
=`[(v_i^2 sin 2 theta)/(2 g)hati +((v_i sin theta)^2)/(2g)hat j]xx mv_(x i) hat i`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) `vec tau. Delta t = Delta vec L`…(i)
Here `Delta t = time of flight = (2 u sin theta)/(g)`
Change in angular about point of projection (initially it is zero)
`|vec(Delta L)| = |vec L_f = vec L_i|= (m u sin theta)` Range
=`((m u sin theta)(u^2 sin 2 theta))/(g) = (m u^2 sin theta sin 2 theta)/(g)`
Now `|vec tau_(av)| = |vec(Delta L)/(Delta t)| = (m u^3 sin theta sin 2 theta)/(g) xx (g)/(2u sin theta)`
=`(m u^2 sin 2 theta)/(2)`.

Three bodies, a ring, a soild cylinder and a soild sphere roll down the same inclined plane without slipping. They start from rest. The radii of the bodies are identical. Which of the bodies reaches the ground with maximum velocity ?A. RingB. Solid cylinderC. Solid sphereD. All reach the ground with same velocity

Answer» Correct Answer - C
( c) According to conservation of mechanical energy
or `mgh = (1)/(2) mv^2 (1 + (k^2)/(R^2))`
`v^2 = ((2 gh)/(1 + (k^2)/(R^2)))`
It is independent of the mass of the rolling body.
For a ring, `k^2 = R^2`
`v_(ring) = sqrt((2 gh)/(1 + 1)) = sqrt(gh)`
For a solid cylinder, `k_2 = (R^2)/(2)`
`v_(cylinder) = sqrt((2 gh)/(1 + (1)/(2))) = sqrt((4g h)/(3))`
For a solid sphere, `k^2 = (2)/(5) R^2`
`v_(sphere) = sqrt((2 gh)/(1 + (2)/(5))) = sqrt((10 gh)/(7))`
Among the given three bodies the solid sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity at the bottom of the inclined plane.

A cylinder rolls up an inclined plane, reaches someheight and then rolls down (without slipping throught these motions). The direction of the frictional force acting on the cylinder are -A. Up the incline while ascending and down the incline whilse descendingB. Up the incline while ascending as well as descendingC. down the incline while ascending and up the incline while descendingD. down the incline while ascending as well as descending

Answer» Correct Answer - B
During upward journey `v_(CM)` decreases due to `mg sin theta`. For pure rolling to maintain `v_(CM) = R omega`, torque of friction should be to decrease `omega`. During down ward journey `v_(CM)` increases due to `mg sin theta`. For pure rolling to maintain `v_(CM) = R omega`. torque of friction should be to increase `omega` so option (B) is correct choice.

Assertion: A quick collision between two bodies is more violent that show collision , even when initial and final velocity are identical. Reason: The rate of change of momentum determine that force is small or large.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the true explanation of assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is falseD. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) Momentum `p = mv` or `p prop v`. i.e., momentum is directly proportional to its velocity, so the momentum is greater in a quicker collision between two bodies than in slower one. Hence, due to greater momentum quicker collision between two between two bodies will be more violent even initial and final velocities are identical.

A ring mass `m` and radius `R` has three particle attached to the ring as shown in the figure. The centre of the centre `v_(0)`. Find the kinetic energy of the system. (Slipping is absent). .

About instantaneous axis of rotation rolling system can be considered as pure rotation
`KE = (1)/(2) I omega^(2)` …(1)
here `I` = moment of inertia about instantaneous axis of rotation
`I = 2m (sqrt(2) R)^(2) + m(2R)^(2) + m(sqrt(2) R)^(2) + I_(ring)`
`I = 2m (sqrt(2) R)^(2) + m(2R)^(2) + m(sqrt(2) R)^(2) + mR^(2)`
`I = 12 mR^(2)`
putting the value of `I` in equation (1)
`KE = 6mR^(2) omega^(2)`
`KE = 6m(R omega)^(2)`
`KE = 6mv_(o)^(2)`.

A wodden log mass `M` and length `L` is hinged by a frictionless nail at `O.A` bullet of mass `m` strikes with velocity `v` and strikes with velocity `v` and sticks to it . Find angular velocity of the system immediately after after the collision about `O`. .

Answer» Correct Answer - `omega = (3mv)/((3m + M) L)`
Angular momentum of the system about point `O` will remain conserved.
`L_(i) = L_(f)`
`mvL = I omega rArr mvL = [mL^(2) + (ML^(2))/(3)) omega`
`omega = (3mv)/(L(3 m + M))`.

An automobile engine develops `100` kilo`-`watt, when rotating at a speed of `1800 rev//min`. Find the torque developed by it.

Answer» The power delivered by the torque `tau` exerted on rotating body is given by
`P = tau omega` or `tau = (P)/(omega)`
Here `P = 100 KW = 100, 000` Watt
`omega = ((1800)/(60)) xx 2 pi`
=`60 pi rad//sec`,
`tau = (10^(5))/(60 xx 3.14) = 531 N-m`.

Four point masses, each of value `m`, are placed at the corners of square `ABCD` of side `l`. The moment of inertia of this system about an axis passing through `A` and parallel to `BD` is -A. `2ml^(2)`B. `sqrt(3) ml^(2)`C. `3 ml^(2)`D. `ml^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`I = 2m (l//sqrt(2))^(2) + m(sqrt(2) l)^(2) = 3 ml^(2)`.

A girl sits on a rolling chair, when she stretch her arms horizontally, her speed is reduced. Principle of conservation of angular momentum is applicable in this situation.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is falseD. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) If friction in the rotational mechanism is neglected, there is no extermal torque about the axis of rotation of the chair and hence `I omega` is constant. Where `I` is constant, where `I` is moment of inertoa and `omega` is angular velocity. Stretching the arms increases `I` about the rotation , results in decreasing the angular speed `omega`. Bringing the arms closer, body has the opposite effect.

A student sits on a freely rotating stool holding dumbbells, each of mass `5.0 kg` (Fig). When his arms are extended horizontally (Fig a), the dumbbells are `1.0 m` from the axis of rotation and the student rotate with an angular speed of `1.0 rad//s`. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is `5.0 kg.m^2` and is assumed to be constant. The student pulls the dumbbells inward horizontally to a position `0.50 m` from the rotationa are (Fig.) The new angular speed of the student is. .A. `1.5 rad//s`B. `2.5 rad//s`C. `2.0 rad//s`D. `1.25 rad//s`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
( c) The total angular momentum of the system of the student, the stool, and the weight about the axis of rotation is given by
`I_(total) = I_(weights) + I_(student) = 2(mr^2) + 5.0 kg.m^2`
Before : `r = 1.0 m`
Thus, `I_i = 2(5.0 kg)(1.0 m)^2 + 5.0 kg.m^2 = 15 kg.m^2`
After : `r = 0.50 m`
Thus, `I_i = 2(5.0 kg)(0.50 m)^2 + 5.0 kg.m^2 = 7.50 kg.m^2`
We now use conservation of angular momentum
`I_f omega_f = I_i omega_i`
or `omega_f = ((I_i)/(I_f)) omega_i = ((15.0)/(7.5))(1.0 rad//s) = 2 rad//s`.
