Correct Answer: (A-Q), (B-P), (C-Q), (D-S)
Explanation:
Ans. (A-Q), (B-P), (C-Q), (D-S) $y_{A}=2y_{B}\Rightarrow v_{A}=2v_{B}$ A moves $\downarrow$ and
B moves $\uparrow$ as
Tension on B is more than A. $mgh-\frac{mgh}{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{A}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}mv_{B}^{2}$ $\frac{gh}{2}=\frac{5}{2}v_{B}^{2}$ $\Rightarrow v_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{5}}=1, v_{A}=2$ mg-T=maA
2T-mg=maB $a_{A}=2a_{B}$
B moves $\uparrow$ as
Tension on B is more than A. $mgh-\frac{mgh}{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{A}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}mv_{B}^{2}$ $\frac{gh}{2}=\frac{5}{2}v_{B}^{2}$ $\Rightarrow v_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{5}}=1, v_{A}=2$ mg-T=maA

A disk rotates about its central axis starting from rest and accelerates with constant angular acceleration. At one instant it is rotating at 12 rad/s and after 80 radian of more angular displacement, its angular speed becomes 28 rad/s. How much time (seconds) does the disk takes to complete the mentioned angular displacement of 80 radians.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Ans. 4
$\omega_ {0} = 1 2 \mathrm{rad/sec}$
$\Delta \theta = 8 0 \mathrm{radian}$
$\omega = 2 8 \mathrm{radian/sec}$
$\omega^ {2} = \omega_ {0} ^ {2} + 2 \alpha \Delta \theta$
$\omega = \omega_ {0} + \alpha t$
$\left(\frac {\omega_ {0} + \omega}{2}\right) t = 8 0$
$\omega_ {0} = 1 2 \mathrm{rad/sec}$
$\Delta \theta = 8 0 \mathrm{radian}$
$\omega = 2 8 \mathrm{radian/sec}$
$\omega^ {2} = \omega_ {0} ^ {2} + 2 \alpha \Delta \theta$
$\omega = \omega_ {0} + \alpha t$
$\left(\frac {\omega_ {0} + \omega}{2}\right) t = 8 0$

A particle is moving along a circular path of radius 5 m with a uniform speed $5 \, ms^{-1}$ . What is the magnitude of average acceleration during the interval in which particle completes half revolution?
Correct Answer: $\frac{10}{\pi} ms^{-2}$
Explanation:
Ans. $\frac{10}{\pi} ms^{-2}$
Change in velocity when particle complete the half revolution: $\Delta v = v_{f} - v_{i} = 2v$
Time taken to complete the half revolution $t = \frac{\pi R}{v}$
Average acceleration $= \frac{\Delta v}{t} = \frac{2v}{\pi R / v} = \frac{2v^2}{\pi R}$ $= \frac{2\times 5^2}{\pi\times 5} = \frac{10}{\pi} m / s^2$
Change in velocity when particle complete the half revolution: $\Delta v = v_{f} - v_{i} = 2v$
Time taken to complete the half revolution $t = \frac{\pi R}{v}$
Average acceleration $= \frac{\Delta v}{t} = \frac{2v}{\pi R / v} = \frac{2v^2}{\pi R}$ $= \frac{2\times 5^2}{\pi\times 5} = \frac{10}{\pi} m / s^2$

Correct Answer: (i) $2\mathrm{rad} / s^2$ (ii) $12 + 2t$ for $t\leq 2s$ , 16 for $t\geq 2s$ (iii) $a = 169.01m / s^2$ (iv) 44 rad
Explanation:
Ans. (i) $2\mathrm{rad} / s^2$
ii) $12+2t$ for $t \leq 2s$ , 16 for $t \geq 2s$
iii) $a = 169.01m / s^2$
iv) 44 rad
i) $\omega_{f} = \omega_{i} + 2t$
$(2 \pi) \left(\frac {9 8 0}{6 0 \pi}\right) = 1 2 + \alpha \times 2$
$a = 2 \mathrm{rad} / s ^ {2}$
ii) $v = R\omega = R(12 + 2 \times t)$ $v = 1(12 + 2t)$ After t = 2 sec it becomes constant.
iii) At t = 0.5 sec
$v = 1 3 m / \mathrm{sec}$
$a _ {C} = \frac {v ^ {2}}{R} = 1 6 9$
$a _ {t} = R \alpha = 2$
$a _ {\mathrm{total}} = \sqrt {(1 6 9) ^ {2} + (2) ^ {2}} \cong 1 6 9$
$a _ {(t = 3)} = a _ {\mathrm{total}} = a _ {C} = \frac {v ^ {2}}{R} = \frac {1 6 ^ {2}}{1} = 2 5 6 m / s ^ {2}$
iv) Angular displacement
$\theta = \omega t + \frac {1}{2} \alpha t ^ {2}$
Putting t = 2 sec we get ans.

iii) $a = 169.01m / s^2$
iv) 44 rad
i) $\omega_{f} = \omega_{i} + 2t$
$(2 \pi) \left(\frac {9 8 0}{6 0 \pi}\right) = 1 2 + \alpha \times 2$
$a = 2 \mathrm{rad} / s ^ {2}$
ii) $v = R\omega = R(12 + 2 \times t)$ $v = 1(12 + 2t)$ After t = 2 sec it becomes constant.
iii) At t = 0.5 sec
$v = 1 3 m / \mathrm{sec}$
$a _ {C} = \frac {v ^ {2}}{R} = 1 6 9$
$a _ {t} = R \alpha = 2$
$a _ {\mathrm{total}} = \sqrt {(1 6 9) ^ {2} + (2) ^ {2}} \cong 1 6 9$
$a _ {(t = 3)} = a _ {\mathrm{total}} = a _ {C} = \frac {v ^ {2}}{R} = \frac {1 6 ^ {2}}{1} = 2 5 6 m / s ^ {2}$

Correct Answer: $\frac{u^{2}\cos^{2}\theta}{g\cos^{3}\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}$
Explanation:
Ans. $\frac{u^2\cos^2\theta}{g\cos^3\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}$
$R = \frac {V ^ {2}}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})}$
$R = \frac {V _ {x} ^ {2} + v _ {y} ^ {2}}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})} = \frac {v _ {x} ^ {2} + v _ {x} ^ {2} \tan^ {2} (\frac {\theta}{2})}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})}$
$R = \frac {v _ {x} ^ {2} [ 1 + \tan^ {2} (\frac {\theta}{2}) ]}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})}$
$= \frac {v _ {x} ^ {2} \sec^ {2} (\frac {\theta}{2})}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})}$
$= \frac {v _ {x} ^ {2}}{g \cos^ {3} (\frac {\theta}{2})} = \frac {u ^ {2} \cos^ {2} \theta}{g \cos^ {3} (\frac {\theta}{2})}$
$R = \frac {V ^ {2}}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})}$
$R = \frac {V _ {x} ^ {2} + v _ {y} ^ {2}}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})} = \frac {v _ {x} ^ {2} + v _ {x} ^ {2} \tan^ {2} (\frac {\theta}{2})}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})}$
$R = \frac {v _ {x} ^ {2} [ 1 + \tan^ {2} (\frac {\theta}{2}) ]}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})}$
$= \frac {v _ {x} ^ {2} \sec^ {2} (\frac {\theta}{2})}{g \cos (\frac {\theta}{2})}$

$\mu N = m g \quad \Rightarrow \frac {\mu m v ^ {2}}{r} = m g \quad \Rightarrow v = \sqrt {\frac {g r}{\mu}} = 2 5 m / s$

A circular platform rotates around a vertical axis with angular velocity $\omega = 10$ rad/s. On the platform is a ball of mass 1 kg, attached to the long axis of the platform by a thin rod of length 10 cm ( $\alpha = 30^{\circ}$ ). Find normal force exerted by the ball on the platform (in newton). Friction is absent.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Ans. 5
$T \cos 3 0 = m (L \cos 3 0) \omega^ {2}$
$T \sin 3 0 + N = m g$
$N = m g - T \sin 3$....(i)
Putting value of T from equation in (ii) we get N. .. (
