The centre of the mass of \(3\) particles, \(10~\text{kg},\) \(20~\text{kg},\) and \(30~\text{kg},\) is at \((0,0,0).\) Where should a particle with a mass of \(40~\text{kg}\) be placed so that its combined centre of mass is \((3,3,3)?\)
1. \((0,0,0)\)
2. \((7.5, 7.5, 7.5)\)
3. \((1,2,3)\)
4. \((4,4,4)\)
A wheel is rotating about an axis through its centre at \(720~\text{rpm}.\) It is acted upon by a constant torque opposing its motion for \(8\) seconds to bring it to rest finally.
The value of torque in \((\text{N-m })\) is:
(given \(I=\frac{24}{\pi}~\text{kg.m}^2)\)
1. \(48\)
2. \(72\)
3. \(96\)
4. \(120\)
A rigid body rotates with an angular momentum of \(L.\) If its kinetic energy is halved, the angular momentum becomes:
1. \(L\)
2. \(L/2\)
3. \(2L\)
4. \(L/\)
Two rotating bodies \(A\) and \(B\) of masses \(m\) and \(2m\) with moments of inertia \(I_A\) and \(I_B\) \((I_B>I_A)\) have equal kinetic energy of rotation. If \(L_A\) and \(L_B\) be their angular momenta respectively, then:
1. \(L_{A} = \frac{L_{B}}{2}\)
2. \(L_{A} = 2 L_{B}\)
3. \(L_{B} > L_{A}\)
4. \(L_{A} > L_{B}\)
A solid cylinder of mass \(50~\text{kg}\) and radius \(0.5~\text{m}\) is free to rotate about the horizontal axis. A massless string is wound around the cylinder with one end attached to it and the other end hanging freely. The tension in the string required to produce an angular acceleration of \(2~\text{rev/s}^2\) will be:
1. \(25~\text N\)
2. \(50~\text N\)
3. \(78.5~\text N\)
4. \(157~\text N\)
A uniform rod of length l is hinged at one end and is free to rotate in the vertical plane. The rod is released from its position, making an angle with the vertical. The acceleration of the free end of the rod at the instant it is released is:
1. | \(\frac{3 g \sin \theta}{4} \) | 2. | \(\frac{3 g \cos \theta}{2} \) |
3. | \(\frac{3 g \sin \theta}{2} \) | 4. | \(\frac{3 g \cos \theta}{4}\) |
A uniform rod of length \(1~\text m\) and mass \(2~\text {kg}\) is suspended by two vertical inextensible strings as shown in the following figure. The tension \(T\) (in newtons) in the left string at the instant when the right string snaps is:
\((g = 10~\text{m/s}^ 2 ).\)
1. \(2.5~\text N\)
2. \(5~\text N\)
3. \(7.5~\text N\)
4. \(10~\text N\)
