A car is moving in a circular horizontal track of radius \(10~\text{m}\) with a constant speed of \(10~\text{m/s}\). A plumb bob is suspended from the roof of the car by a light rigid rod of length \(1.00~\text{m}\). The angle formed by the rod with respect to the vertical is:

1. zero 2. \(30^{\circ}\)
3. \(45^{\circ}\) 4. \(60^{\circ}\)

A string of length \(L\) is fixed at one end and carries a mass \(M\) at the other end. The string makes \(2/π\) revolutions per second around the vertical axis through the fixed end as shown in the figure; then the tension in the string is:

1. \(ML\)
2. \(2 ML\)
3. \(4 ML\)
4. \(16 ML\)

A long horizontal rod has a bead that can slide along its length and is initially placed at a distance \(L\) from one end \(A\) of the rod. The rod is set in angular motion about \(A\) with constant angular acceleration \(𝛼\). If the coefficient of friction between the rod and the bead is \(μ\), and gravity is neglected, then the time after which the bead starts slipping is:

1. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{\mu}{\alpha}}\)
2. \(\dfrac{\mu}{\sqrt{\alpha}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu\alpha}}\)
4. Infinitesimal

A particle is moving with a constant speed along a straight-line path. A force is not required to:

1. increase its speed.
2. decrease its momentum.
3. change its direction.
4. keep it moving with uniform velocity.

A mass of \(1\ \text{kg}\) is suspended by a string \(A\). Another string \(C\) is connected to its lower end as shown in the given figure. If a sudden jerk is given to \(C\), then:

1. The portion \(AB\) of the string will break
2. The portion \(BC\) of the string will break
3. None of the strings will break
4. The mass will start rotating

A coin is dropped in a lift. It takes time \(t_1\) to reach the floor when the lift is stationary. It takes time \(t_2\) when the lift is moving up with constant acceleration. Then:
1. \(t_1 > t_2\)
2. \(t_1 < t_2\)
3. \(t_1 = t_2\)
4. \(t_1 >> t_2\)

An object with a mass \(10\ \text{kg}\) moves at a constant velocity of \(10\ \text{m/s}\). A constant force then acts for \(4\) seconds on the object and gives it a speed of \(2\ \text{m/s}\) in the opposite direction. The acceleration produced in it is:
1. \(3\ \text{m/s}^2\)
2. \(-3\ \text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(0.3\ \text{m/s}^2\)
4. \(-0.3\ \text{m/s}^2\)
