A horizontal heavy uniform bar of weight \(W\) is supported at its ends by two men. At the instant, one of the men lets go off his end of the rod, the other feels the force on his hand changed to:
1. | \(W\) | 2. | \(W \over 2\) |
3. | \(3W \over 4\) | 4. | \(W \over 4\) |
The moment of inertia of a thin uniform circular disc about one of its diameter is I. Its moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the circular surface and passing through its center will be:
1.
2. 2 l
3.
4.
A child is standing on the edge of a merry-go-round that has
the shape of a disk, as shown in the figure. The mass of the child is 40 kilograms. The merry-go-round has a mass of 200 kilograms and a radius of 2.5 meters, and it is rotating with an angular velocity of radians per second. The child then walks slowly towards the center of the merry-go-round. When the child reaches the center, what is the angular velocity of the disc? (The size of the child can be neglected.)
1. 2.0 rad/s
2. 2.2 rad/s
3. 2.4 rad/s
4. 2.8 rad/s
A uniform rod of mass 2M is bent into four adjacent semicircles, each of radius r, all lying in the same plane. The moment of inertia of the bent rod about an axis through one end A and perpendicular to the plane of the rod is:
1. 22
2. 88
3. 44
4. 66
A man 'A', mass 60 kg, and another man 'B', mass 70 kg, are sitting at the two extremes of a 2 m long boat, of mass 70 kg, standing still in the water as shown. They come to the middle of the boat. (Neglect friction). How far does the boat move on the water during the process?
1. | 5 cm leftward | 2. | 5 cm rightward |
3. | 7 cm leftward | 4. | 7 cm rightward |
A uniform rod of length 1 m and mass 2 kg is suspended by two vertical inextensible strings as shown in following figure. Calculate the tension T (in newtons) in the left string at the instant when the right string snaps (g = 10 m/).
1. 2.5 N
2. 5 N
3. 7.5 N
4. 10 N
A boat of length 10 m and a mass of 450 kg is floating without motion in still water. A man of 50 kg standing at one end walks to the other end and comes to a stop. The magnitude of the displacement of the boat relative to the ground is:
1. | Zero | 2. | 1 m |
3. | 2 m | 4. | 5 m |
Five uniform circular plates, each of diameter D and mass m, are laid out as shown in the figure. Using the origin shown, the y co–ordinate of the centre of mass of the five–plate system will be:
1. | 2D/5 | 2. | 4D/5 |
3. | D/3 | 4. | D/5 |
Let and be moments of inertia of a body about two axes, A and B, respectively. The axis A passes through the centre of mass of the body, but B does not. Which of the following is correct?
