D ā (p)
Just after the vehicle is stopped, the bob swings out to an angle of $60^{\circ}$ . So, by Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy, we have
$\begin{array}{r l} & m g h = \frac {1}{2} m v _ {0} ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac {1}{2} m v _ {0} ^ {2} = m g \ell (1 - \cos \theta) \\ \Rightarrow & v _ {0} = \sqrt {2 (1 0) (5) \left(1 - \frac {1}{2}\right)} = 5 \sqrt {2} \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1} \end{array}$
So, net force on the bob at the lowest point is
$F = \frac {m v _ {0} ^ {2}}{\ell} = \frac {(2) (5 0)}{5} = 2 0 \mathrm{N}$
Acceleration of the bob at lowest point is
$a = \frac {F}{m} = \frac {v _ {0} ^ {2}}{\ell} = 1 0 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
At the highest point, net force is
$F = m g \sin (6 0 ^ {\circ}) = 1 0 \sqrt {3} \mathrm{N}$
So, acceleration at highest point is
$a = \frac {F}{m} = 5 \sqrt {3} \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$

A small block of mass 1 kg is kept on a rough inclined wedge of inclination $45^{\circ}$ fixed in an elevator. The elevator goes up with a uniform velocity $v = 2 \, ms^{-1}$ and the block does not slide on the wedge. Calculate the work done, in joule by the force of friction on the block in 1 s. Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ .
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
Since the block does not slide on the wedge. So
$f = m g \sin (4 5 ^ {\circ}) = \frac {(1) (1 0)}{\sqrt {2}} = \frac {1 0}{\sqrt {2}} \mathrm{N}$


$\begin{array}{r l} & {\mathrm{Now} W _ {f} = \vec {f} \cdot \vec {s}} \\ & {\Rightarrow W _ {f} = (f \cos 4 5 ^ {\circ}) (2)} \\ & {\Rightarrow W _ {f} = \bigg (\frac {1 0}{\sqrt {2}} \bigg) \bigg (\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}} \bigg) (2)} \\ & {\Rightarrow W _ {f} = 1 0 \mathrm{J}} \end{array}$
$f = m g \sin (4 5 ^ {\circ}) = \frac {(1) (1 0)}{\sqrt {2}} = \frac {1 0}{\sqrt {2}} \mathrm{N}$


$\begin{array}{r l} & {\mathrm{Now} W _ {f} = \vec {f} \cdot \vec {s}} \\ & {\Rightarrow W _ {f} = (f \cos 4 5 ^ {\circ}) (2)} \\ & {\Rightarrow W _ {f} = \bigg (\frac {1 0}{\sqrt {2}} \bigg) \bigg (\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}} \bigg) (2)} \\ & {\Rightarrow W _ {f} = 1 0 \mathrm{J}} \end{array}$

A train of mass $2 \times 10^{5}$ kg has a constant speed of $20 \, ms^{-1}$ up a hill inclined at $\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{50}\right)$ to the horizontal when the engine is working at $8 \times 10^{5}$ watt. Calculate the resistance to the motion of the train, in newton. Take $g = 9.8 \, ms^{-2}$ .
Correct Answer: 800
Explanation:
Since, P = Fv
$\Rightarrow F = \frac {P}{v} = \frac {8 \times 1 0 ^ {5}}{2 0} = 4 \times 1 0 ^ {4} \mathrm{N}$
At constant speed, the forces acting on the train are in equilibrium. Resolving the forces parallel to the hill
$\begin{array}{r l} & F = R + (2 \times 1 0 ^ {5}) \times g \times \left(\frac {1}{5 0}\right) \\ \Rightarrow & 4 \times 1 0 ^ {4} = R + 3 9 2 0 0 \\ \Rightarrow & R = 8 0 0 \mathrm{N} \end{array}$
Therefore, the resistance is 800 N.
$\Rightarrow F = \frac {P}{v} = \frac {8 \times 1 0 ^ {5}}{2 0} = 4 \times 1 0 ^ {4} \mathrm{N}$

(B) Find its final speed, in $\mathrm{cms}^{-1}$ .
(A) Find the change in kinetic energy of the block, in joule.
(B) Find its final speed, in $\mathrm{cms}^{-1}$ .
Correct Answer: (a) 32, (b) 500
Explanation:
(a) The forces acting on the block are shown in the figure.

Clearly, $W_{N}=0$ and $W_{g}=0$ , whereas $W_{F}=Fs\cos\theta$
$W _ {f} = - f s = - \mu_ {k} N s \text { where } N = m g - F \sin \theta$
According to Work Energy Theorem,
$\begin{array}{r l} & {\Delta K = W _ {n e t} = W _ {F} + W _ {f}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {\Delta K = F s \mathrm{cos} \theta - \mu_ {\mathrm{k}} (m g - F \mathrm{sin} \theta) s} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {\Delta K = (3 0) (2) (0. 6) - \frac {1}{8} (4 0 - 2 4) (2) = 3 2 \mathrm{J}} \end{array}$
b) Now $\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}-\frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^{2}=32$ J
Since $v_{i}=3\ ms^{-1}$
therefore, $v_{f} = 5 \, ms^{-1} = 500 \, cms^{-1}$

Clearly, $W_{N}=0$ and $W_{g}=0$ , whereas $W_{F}=Fs\cos\theta$
$W _ {f} = - f s = - \mu_ {k} N s \text { where } N = m g - F \sin \theta$
According to Work Energy Theorem,
$\begin{array}{r l} & {\Delta K = W _ {n e t} = W _ {F} + W _ {f}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {\Delta K = F s \mathrm{cos} \theta - \mu_ {\mathrm{k}} (m g - F \mathrm{sin} \theta) s} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {\Delta K = (3 0) (2) (0. 6) - \frac {1}{8} (4 0 - 2 4) (2) = 3 2 \mathrm{J}} \end{array}$
b) Now $\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}-\frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^{2}=32$ J
Since $v_{i}=3\ ms^{-1}$
therefore, $v_{f} = 5 \, ms^{-1} = 500 \, cms^{-1}$

(B) At height $h = *R$ above the bottom of the loop should the block be released so that the force it exerts against the track at the top of the loop equals its weight. Find* .
Correct Answer: (a) 65, (b) 3
Explanation:
(a) By Law of Conservation of Energy, we get
$\begin{array}{r l} & 0 + m g (4 R) = \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & 4 g R = \frac {v ^ {2}}{2} \end{array}$
At $Q$ , we have
$N = \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R} = \frac {m (8 g R)}{R} = 8 m g$
So, net force at $Q$ is
$\begin{array}{r l} & F _ {Q} = \sqrt {N ^ {2} + (m g) ^ {2}} \\ \Rightarrow & F _ {Q} = \sqrt {6 4 m ^ {2} g ^ {2} + m ^ {2} g ^ {2}} = \sqrt {6 5} m g \end{array}$
$\Rightarrow x = 6 5$
b) For block to exert force (on the top of track) equal to weight, we have
N = m g
Since $mg + N = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}$
$\Rightarrow \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R} = 2 m g$
$\Rightarrow v ^ {2} = 2 R g$
Applying Law of Conservation of Energy, we get
$\begin{array}{r l} & m g (h) = \frac {1}{2} m (2 R g) + m g (2 R) \\ \Rightarrow & h = 3 R \\ \Rightarrow & * = 3 \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{r l} & 0 + m g (4 R) = \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & 4 g R = \frac {v ^ {2}}{2} \end{array}$
At $Q$ , we have
$N = \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R} = \frac {m (8 g R)}{R} = 8 m g$
So, net force at $Q$ is
$\begin{array}{r l} & F _ {Q} = \sqrt {N ^ {2} + (m g) ^ {2}} \\ \Rightarrow & F _ {Q} = \sqrt {6 4 m ^ {2} g ^ {2} + m ^ {2} g ^ {2}} = \sqrt {6 5} m g \end{array}$
$\Rightarrow x = 6 5$
b) For block to exert force (on the top of track) equal to weight, we have
N = m g
Since $mg + N = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}$
$\Rightarrow \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R} = 2 m g$
$\Rightarrow v ^ {2} = 2 R g$
Applying Law of Conservation of Energy, we get
$\begin{array}{r l} & m g (h) = \frac {1}{2} m (2 R g) + m g (2 R) \\ \Rightarrow & h = 3 R \\ \Rightarrow & * = 3 \end{array}$

A body slides down an inclined surface which ends into a vertical loop of radius R = 40 cm as shown in figure.
What must be the height H, in cm, of the inclined surface for the body not to fall at the uppermost point of the loop? Assume friction to be absent.
What must be the height H, in cm, of the inclined surface for the body not to fall at the uppermost point of the loop? Assume friction to be absent.
Correct Answer: 100
Explanation:
Let v be the velocity of the particle at the highest point.

According to Newton's Second Law, the net force
$F_{net} = N + mg$ provides the centripetal force to the body to revolve in a circle of radius R. So
$N + m g = \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R}$
The body does not fall at the uppermost point of the loop if $N \geq 0$ . In the limiting case, N = 0. So,
$\begin{array}{r l} & m g = \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R} \\ \Rightarrow & v ^ {2} = g R \end{array}\tag{... (1}$
Applying Law of Conservation of Energy at the initial and highest point of the loop, we get
$m g H = m g (2 R) + \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2}$
From (1), $v^{2} = gR$ , so, we get
$m g H = m g (2 R) + \frac {1}{2} m (g R)$
$\Rightarrow H = \frac {5}{2} R = 2. 5 R$
Since $R = 40 \, \mathrm{cm}$ , we get
$\Rightarrow H = (2. 5) (4 0) = 1 0 0 \mathrm{cm}$

According to Newton's Second Law, the net force
$F_{net} = N + mg$ provides the centripetal force to the body to revolve in a circle of radius R. So
$N + m g = \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R}$
The body does not fall at the uppermost point of the loop if $N \geq 0$ . In the limiting case, N = 0. So,
$\begin{array}{r l} & m g = \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R} \\ \Rightarrow & v ^ {2} = g R \end{array}\tag{... (1}$
Applying Law of Conservation of Energy at the initial and highest point of the loop, we get
$m g H = m g (2 R) + \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2}$
From (1), $v^{2} = gR$ , so, we get
$m g H = m g (2 R) + \frac {1}{2} m (g R)$
$\Rightarrow H = \frac {5}{2} R = 2. 5 R$
Since $R = 40 \, \mathrm{cm}$ , we get
$\Rightarrow H = (2. 5) (4 0) = 1 0 0 \mathrm{cm}$

If the block starts at rest with the spring unextended, what is its speed, in $ms^{-1}$ , when it has moved a distance d = 0.5 m down the incline?
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Since $W_{nc} + W_{ext} = \Delta U + \Delta K$
Let the block move down the incline through a distance x, then
$\begin{array}{r l} & f x \cos (1 8 0 ^ {\circ}) + 0 = \frac {1}{2} k x ^ {2} + (- m g x \sin \theta) + \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & - (\mu_ {k} m g \cos \theta) x = \frac {1}{2} k x ^ {2} - m g x \sin \theta + \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2} \end{array}$


$\Rightarrow - 1 = 1 - 6 + v ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow v ^ {2} = 4$
$\Rightarrow v = 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}$
Let the block move down the incline through a distance x, then
$\begin{array}{r l} & f x \cos (1 8 0 ^ {\circ}) + 0 = \frac {1}{2} k x ^ {2} + (- m g x \sin \theta) + \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & - (\mu_ {k} m g \cos \theta) x = \frac {1}{2} k x ^ {2} - m g x \sin \theta + \frac {1}{2} m v ^ {2} \end{array}$

Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Using our knowledge of constraint relations, we observe that at any instant $x_{B}=2x_{A}$ and $v_{B}=2v_{A}$ . So, let $v_{A}=v$ after $x_{A}=1m$ . Using Work Energy Theorem for a non-conservative system, we get $W_{nc}=\Delta U+\Delta K$ .
Before we make use of the above relation, we must observe that
(i) A move down by $x_{A}$ , so its potential energy decreases by $m_{A}gh_{A}$ where $h_{A} = x_{A} \sin \theta = (1)\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) = \frac{3}{5} \, \text{m}.$

(ii) B moves up by $x_{B} = h_{B}$ , so its potential energy as well as kinetic energy increases.
$\Rightarrow f_{K}x_{A}\cos (180^{\circ}) = \Delta U_{A} + \Delta K_{A} + \Delta U_{B} + \Delta K_{B}$ where $f_{K} = \mu_{K}m_{A}g\cos \theta ,\quad \cos \theta = \frac{4}{5},\quad x_{A} = 1\mathrm{m},$ $x_{B} = 2\mathrm{m},\quad h_{A} = 0.6\mathrm{m},\quad m_{A} = 30\mathrm{kg},\quad m_{B} = 5\mathrm{kg},$ $g = 10~\mathrm{ms^{-2}}$
$\begin{array}{r l} \Rightarrow & - (\mu_ {K} m _ {A} g \cos \theta) x _ {A} = - m _ {A} g h _ {A} + m _ {B} g h _ {B} + \\ & \frac {1}{2} m _ {A} v ^ {2} + \frac {1}{2} m _ {B} (2 v) ^ {2} \end{array}$
Substituting the values, we get
$\begin{array}{r l} & {- \bigg (\frac {1}{5} \bigg) (3 0 0) \bigg (\frac {4}{5} \bigg) = - (3 0 0) \bigg (\frac {3}{5} \bigg) + (5 0) (2) +} \\ & {\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \frac {1}{2} (3 0) v ^ {2} + \frac {1}{2} (5) (2 v) ^ {2}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {- 4 8 = - 1 8 0 + 1 0 0 + 2 5 v ^ {2}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {v = \sqrt {\frac {3 2}{2 5}} = \frac {4 \sqrt {2}}{5}} \\ {\Rightarrow} & {* = 2} \end{array}$

(B) The height to which the particle can rise further, in cm, is 24x. Find x.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
$\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5}$
At Q, T = 0 and hence the particle will become a projectile following a parabolic path.

$\begin{array}{r l} & {\Rightarrow \frac {m v ^ {2}}{r} = m g \sin \theta} \\ & {\Rightarrow v = \sqrt {r g \sin \theta} = \sqrt {(5) (1 0) \left(\frac {3}{5}\right)} = \sqrt {3 0} \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 1}} \\ & {\Rightarrow * = 3 0} \end{array}$
The maximum height of the projectile is
$\begin{array}{r l} & H = \frac {v ^ {2} \sin^ {2} (9 0 ^ {\circ} - \theta)}{2 g} = \frac {v ^ {2} \cos^ {2} \theta}{2 g} \\ \Rightarrow & H = \frac {(3 0) \left(\frac {1 6}{2 5}\right)}{2 (1 0)} = \frac {2 4}{2 5} \\ \Rightarrow & H = 0. 9 6 \mathrm{m} = 9 6 \mathrm{cm} \\ \Rightarrow & H = 2 4 x = 9 6 \\ \Rightarrow & x = 4 \end{array}$

Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Speed of each particle at angle $\theta$ using Law of Conservation of Energy is
$\begin{array}{r l} & v = \sqrt {2 g h}, \text {where} h = R (1 - \cos \theta) \\ \Rightarrow & v = \sqrt {2 g R (1 - \cos \theta)} \end{array}$
Also, at angle $\theta$ , we have
$\begin{array}{r l} & N + m g \cos \theta = \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R} \\ \Rightarrow & N + m g \cos \theta = 2 m g (1 - \cos \theta) \\ \Rightarrow & N = 2 m g - 3 m g \cos \theta \end{array}.....(i)$
When the tube just breaks its contact with the ground then
$2 N \cos \theta = M g$
Substituting the value of N from (1), we get
$4 m g \cos \theta - 6 m g \cos^ {2} \theta = M g$
Substituting, $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ , we get
$\begin{array}{r l} & 2 m g - \frac {3 m g}{2} = M g \\ \Rightarrow & \frac {m}{M} = 2 \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{r l} & v = \sqrt {2 g h}, \text {where} h = R (1 - \cos \theta) \\ \Rightarrow & v = \sqrt {2 g R (1 - \cos \theta)} \end{array}$
Also, at angle $\theta$ , we have
$\begin{array}{r l} & N + m g \cos \theta = \frac {m v ^ {2}}{R} \\ \Rightarrow & N + m g \cos \theta = 2 m g (1 - \cos \theta) \\ \Rightarrow & N = 2 m g - 3 m g \cos \theta \end{array}.....(i)$
When the tube just breaks its contact with the ground then
$2 N \cos \theta = M g$
Substituting the value of N from (1), we get
$4 m g \cos \theta - 6 m g \cos^ {2} \theta = M g$
Substituting, $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ , we get
$\begin{array}{r l} & 2 m g - \frac {3 m g}{2} = M g \\ \Rightarrow & \frac {m}{M} = 2 \end{array}$

The total force acting on the particle at point B is $x\sqrt{x}$ N. Calculate x
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Initially, the normal reaction on each ball will be radially outwards and later it will be radially inwards, so that the net normal reaction on the tube is radially outwards to break it off from the ground.
Let v be the speed of ball at point B. Then by Law of Conservation of Energy applied between A and B, we get
$U _ {A} + K _ {A} = U _ {B} + K _ {B}$
$\Rightarrow 0 + \frac {1}{2} (1) (5) ^ {2} = (1) (1 0) (1) + \frac {1}{2} (1) v ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac {v ^ {2}}{2} = \frac {2 5}{2} - 1 0\Rightarrow v ^ {2} = 5$
Force acting on particle at $B$ is
$F = \sqrt {\left(m g\right) ^ {2} + \left(\frac {m v ^ {2}}{r}\right) ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow F = \sqrt {(1 0) ^ {2} + \left(\frac {1 \times 5}{1}\right) ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow F = \sqrt {1 2 5}$
$\Rightarrow F = 5 \sqrt {5} \mathrm{N}$
$\Rightarrow x = 5$
Let v be the speed of ball at point B. Then by Law of Conservation of Energy applied between A and B, we get
$U _ {A} + K _ {A} = U _ {B} + K _ {B}$
$\Rightarrow 0 + \frac {1}{2} (1) (5) ^ {2} = (1) (1 0) (1) + \frac {1}{2} (1) v ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac {v ^ {2}}{2} = \frac {2 5}{2} - 1 0\Rightarrow v ^ {2} = 5$
Force acting on particle at $B$ is
$F = \sqrt {\left(m g\right) ^ {2} + \left(\frac {m v ^ {2}}{r}\right) ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow F = \sqrt {(1 0) ^ {2} + \left(\frac {1 \times 5}{1}\right) ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow F = \sqrt {1 2 5}$
$\Rightarrow F = 5 \sqrt {5} \mathrm{N}$
$\Rightarrow x = 5$
