=2(rω) sin (902) = 2 × 1 × 2πT × 12
= 4π602 = 4π602 = π2cm30sec [As T = 60 sec]

A. Increases 
B. Decreases
C. Remains the same
D. Fluctuates

SOLUTION

Solution : A

R = mg cos θ - mv2r

when θ  decreases cos θ increases i.e.,R increases.

A. - k2r
B. - kr
C. - 2kr
D. - 4kr

SOLUTION

mv2r = kr2 m v2 = kr K.E = 12mv2 = k2r
P.E = F dr = kr2dr = - kr 
Total energy = K.E + P.E = k2rkr  =  - k2r

The maximum velocity for a baked road with friction,
v2 = gr(μ+tanθ1μtanθ)
v2 = 9.8 × 1000 × (0.5+110.5×1) v = 172 m/s

ω = 4 rad/sec

Question 7

Let ω is the angular speed of revoultion 
T3 =m ω2 3l
T2  - T3  = mω2 2l T2 = mω25l
T1 - T2 = mω2l   T1 = mω26l
T3:T2:T1 = 3 : 5 : 6

Question 8

A particle describes a horizontal circle in a conical funnel whose inner surface is smooth with speed of 0.5 m/s. What is the height of the plane of circle from vertex of the funnel?

A. 0.25 cm
B. 2 cm
C. 4 cm
D. 2.5 cm

SOLUTION

Solution : D


The particle is moving in circular path
From the figure, mg = Rsin θ ..(i)
mv2r = R cos θ ..(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii) we get
tan θ = rgv2 but tan θ = rh
h = v2g = (0.5)210 = 0.025 m = 2.5 cm

Question 9

A wheel is subjected to uniform angular acceleration about its axis. Initially its angular velocity is zero. In the first 2 sec, it rotates through an angle θ1. In the next 2 sec, it rotates through an additional angle θ2 . The ratio of angles is 

A. 1
B. 2
C.
D. 5

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Using relation θ = ω0t + 12 α t2
θ1 = 12 (α) 22 = 2 α ..(i) (As ω0=0,t=2sec)
Now using same question for t = 4 sec , ω0 = 0
θ1 + θ2 = 12 (4)2 = 8 α ..(ii)
From (i) and (ii), θ1 = 2 α and θ2 = 6α θ1θ2 = 3

Question 10

A body of mass m hangs at one end of a string of length l, the other end of which is fixed. It is given a horizontal velocity so that the string would just reach where it makes an angle of 60  with the vertical. The tension in the string at mean position is 

A. 2 mg
B. mg
C. 3 mg
D. √3mg

SOLUTION

Solution : A

When body is released from the position p (inclined at angle θ from vertical) then velocity at mean position 
v = 2gl(1cosθ)
Tension at the lowest point = mg + mv2l
= mg + ml[2gl(1 - cos 60)] = mg + mg = 2mg

Question 11

When a ceiling fan is switched off its angular velocity reduces to 50% while it makes 36 rotations.  How many more rotations will it make before coming to rest (Assume uniform angular retardation)  

A. 18
B. 12
C. 36 
D. 48

SOLUTION

Solution : B

By using equation ω2 = ω02 - 2 αθ
ω022 = ω02 - 2α(2πn) α = 34 ω024π×36 , (n = 36) ..(ii)
Now let fan completes total n revolution from the starting to come to rest
0 = ω02 - 2α(2πn) n = ω024απ
substituting the value of α from equation (i)
n = ω024π 4×4π×363ω02 = 48 revolution
Number of rotation = 48 - 36 = 12

Question 12

A particle is kept at rest at the top of a sphere of diameter 42 m.  When disturbed slightly, it slides down.  At what height ‘h’ from the bottom, the particle will leave the sphere

A. 14 m
B. 28 m
C. 35 m
D. 7 m

SOLUTION

Solution : C


As we know for hemisphere the particle will leave the sphere at height h = 2r3
h = 23× 21= 14 m
but from the bottom
H = h +r = 14 + 21 = 35 metre

Question 13

The maximum and minimum tension in the string whirling in a circle of radius 2.5 m with constant velocity are in the ratio 5 : 3 then its velocity is 

A. 98 m/s
B. 7 m/s
C. 490 m/s
D. 4.9

SOLUTION

Solution : A

In this problem it is assuemed that particle although moving in a vertical loop but its speed remain constant.
Tenstion at lowest point Tmax = mv2r + mg
Tension at highest point Tmin = mv2r - mg
TmaxTmin = mv2r+mgmv2rmg = 53
by solving we get , v=4gr = 4×9.8×2.5 = 98 m/s

Question 14

A ball is rolled off the edge of a horizontal table at a speed of 4 m/s.  It hits the ground after 0.4 second.  Which statement given below is true(Take g=10m/s2)

A. It hits the ground at a horizontal distance 1.6 m from the edge of the table
B. The speed with which it hits the ground is 4.0 m/second
C. Height of the table is 1.8 m
D. It hits the ground at an angle of 60o to the horizontal

SOLUTION

Solution : A


Vertical component of velocity of ball at point P
vv = 0 + gt = 10 × 0.4 = 4 m/s
Horizontal component of velocity = inital velocity
vH = 4 m/s
So the speed with which it hits the ground
v = (vH2+vy2) = 42 m/s
and tan θ = vVvH =44 = 1 θ = 45
It means the ball hits the ground at an angle of 45 to the horizontal.
Height of the table h = 12 g t2 = 12 × 10 × (0.4)2 = 0.8m
Horizontal distance travelled by the ball from the edge of table h = ut = 4 × 0.4 = 1.6m

Question 15

A bomber plane moves horizontally with a speed of 500 m/s and a bomb released from it, strikes the ground in 10 sec. Angle with the horizontal at which it strikes the ground will be (g=10 m/s2)

A. tan1(15)
B. tan (15)
C. tan1(1)
D. tan1(5)

SOLUTION

Solution : A

Horizontal component of velocity vx = 500 m/s
and vertical components of velocity while striking the ground.
vy = 0 + 10 × 10 = 100 m/s
Angle with which it strikes the ground.
θ = tan1(vyvx) = tan1(100500)
