A solid sphere of radius $$R$$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force $$F$$ is applied at height $$h$$ from the lowest point. For the maximum acceleration of the centre of mass
A
$$h = R$$
B
$$h = 2R$$
C
$$h = 0$$
D
the acceleration will be same whatever $$h$$ may be
Answer :
the acceleration will be same whatever $$h$$ may be
The linear acceleration of centre of mass will be $$a = \frac{F}{m},$$ wherever the force is applied. Hence, the acceleration will be same whatever the value of $$h$$ may be.

A block of mass $$m$$ is at rest under the action of force $$F$$ against a wall as shown in figure. Which of the following statement is incorrect?
A
$$f = mg\left[ {f{\text{ friction force}}} \right]$$
B
$$F = N\left[ {{ N \,\text{normal force}}} \right]$$
The cubical block is in equilibrium.
For translational equilibrium
$$\eqalign{
& (a)\,\,\,\,\sum {{F_x}} = 0 \Rightarrow F = N \cr
& (b)\,\,\,\,\sum {{F_y}} = 0 \Rightarrow f = mg \cr} $$
For Rotational Equilibrium
$$\sum {{\tau _c} = 0} $$
Where $$ {{\tau _c} = } $$ torque about c.m.
Torque created by frictional force ($$f$$ ) about $$C=f × a$$ in clockwise direction.
There should be another torque which should counter this torque. The normal reaction $$N$$ on the block acts as shown. This will create a torque $$N \times b$$ in the anticlockwise direction.
Such that $$f × a=N × b$$ Note : The normal force does not act through the centre of the body always. The point of application of normal force depends on all the forces acting on the body.

Distance of the centre of mass of a solid uniform cone from its vertex is $${z_0}.$$ If the radius of its base is $$R$$ and its height is $$h$$ then $${z_0}$$ is equal to:

A $$'T \,’$$ shaped object with dimensions shown in the figure, is lying on a smooth floor. A force $$'\vec F \,'$$ is applied at the point $$P$$ parallel to $$AB,$$ such that the object has only the translational motion without rotation. Find the location of $$P$$ with respect to $$C.$$
To have linear motion, the force $${\vec F}$$ has to be applied at centre of mass.
i.e. the point $$‘P ’$$ has to be at the centre of mass
$$y = \frac{{{m_1}{y_1} + {m_2}{y_2}}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}} = \frac{{m \times 2\ell + 2m \times \ell }}{{3m}} = \frac{{4\ell }}{3}$$

A bob of mass $$m$$ attached to an inextensible string of length $$l$$ is suspended from a vertical support. The bob rotates in a horizontal circle with an angular speed $$\omega \,rad/s$$ about the vertical. About the point of suspension:
A
angular momentum is conserved.
B
angular momentum changes in magnitude but not in direction.
C
angular momentum changes in direction but not in magnitude.
D
angular momentum changes both in direction and magnitude.
Answer :
angular momentum changes in direction but not in magnitude.
Torque working on the bob of mass m is, $$\tau = mg \times \ell \sin \theta .$$ (Direction parallel to plane of rotation of particle)
As $$\tau $$ is perpendicular to $$\vec L,$$ direction of $$L$$ changes but magnitude remains same.

If the angular momentum of a particle of mass $$m$$ rotating along a circular path of radius $$r$$ with uniform speed is $$L,$$ the centripetal force acting on the particle is
Angular momentum
$$\eqalign{
& L = I\omega \cr
& {\text{where}}\,I = m{r^2}{\text{and}}\,\omega = \frac{v}{r} \cr
& L = m{r^2} \times \frac{v}{r} \cr
& L = mvr\,....\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr} $$
Centripetal force
$$\eqalign{
& F = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} \cr
& F = \frac{m}{r}.{\left( {\frac{L}{{mr}}} \right)^2}\left[ {{\text{From}}\,{\text{Eq}}.\left( {\text{i}} \right)} \right] \cr
& F = \frac{{m{L^2}}}{{r \cdot {m^2} \cdot {r^2}}} \cr
& F = \frac{{{L^2}}}{{m{r^3}}} \cr} $$

A round disc of moment of inertia $${I_2}$$ about its axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre is placed over another disc of moment of inertia $${I_1}$$ rotating with an angular velocity $$\omega $$ about the same axis. The final angular velocity of the combination of discs is
A
$$\frac{{{I_2}\omega }}{{{I_1} + {I_2}}}$$
B
$$\omega $$
C
$$\frac{{{I_1}\omega }}{{{I_1} + {I_2}}}$$
D
$$\frac{{\left( {{I_1} + {I_2}} \right)\omega }}{{{I_1}}}$$
Apply conservation of angular momentum
The angular momentum of a disc of moment of inertia $${{I_1}}$$ and rotating about its axis with angular velocity $$\omega $$ is $${L_1} = {I_1}\omega $$
When a round disc of moment of inertia $${I_2}$$ is placed on first disc, then angular momentum of the combination is $${L_2} = \left( {{I_1} + {I_2}} \right)\omega '$$
In the absence of any external torque, angular momentum remains conserved i.e., $${L_1} = {L_2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {I_1}\omega = \left( {{I_1} + {I_2}} \right)\omega ' \cr
& \Rightarrow \omega ' = \frac{{{I_1}\omega }}{{{I_1} + {I_2}}} \cr} $$

A solid cylinder of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$ rolls down an inclined plane of height $$h$$ without slipping. The speed of its centre of mass when it reaches the bottom is
When solid cylinder rolls down on an inclined plane, then it has both rotational and translational kinetic energy
Total kinetic energy $$K = {K_{{\text{rot}}}} + {K_{{\text{trans}}}}$$
or $$K = \frac{1}{2}I{\omega ^2} + \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}$$
where, $$I =$$ moment of inertia of solid cylinder about its axis
$$ = \frac{1}{2}m{r^2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore K = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{1}{2}m{r^2}} \right){\omega ^2} + \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} \cr
& = \frac{1}{4}m{v^2} + \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}\,\,\left( {{\text{as}}\,v = r\omega } \right) \cr
& = \frac{3}{4}m{v^2} \cr} $$
Now, gain in $$KE =$$ loss in $$PE$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{3}{4}m{v^2} = mgh \cr
& \Rightarrow v = \sqrt {\left( {\frac{4}{3}gh} \right)} \cr} $$

A uniform wooden stick of mass $$1.6 \,kg$$ and length $$l$$ rests in an inclined manner on a smooth, vertical wall of height $$h\left( { < l} \right)$$ such that a small portion of the stick extends beyond the wall. The reaction force of the wall on the stick is perpendicular to the stick. The stick makes an angle of $${30^ \circ }$$ with the wall and the bottom of the stick is on a rough floor. The reaction of the wall on the stick is equal in magnitude to the reaction of the floor on the stick. The ratio $$\frac{h}{l}$$ and the frictional force $$f$$ at the bottom of the stick are-
$$\left( {g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}} \right)$$
A
$$\frac{h}{l} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{{16}},\,\,f = \frac{{16\sqrt 3 }}{3}N$$
B
$$\frac{h}{l} = \frac{3}{{16}},\,\,f = \frac{{16\sqrt 3 }}{3}N$$
C
$$\frac{h}{l} = \frac{{3\sqrt 3 }}{{16}},\,\,f = \frac{{8\sqrt 3 }}{3}N$$
D
$$\frac{h}{l} = \frac{{3\sqrt 3 }}{{16}},\,\,f = \frac{{16\sqrt 3 }}{3}N$$
Considering the normal reaction of the floor and wall to be $$N$$ and with reference to the figure.
By vertical equilibrium
$$N + N\sin {30^ \circ } = 1.6\,g\,\,\, \Rightarrow N = \frac{{3.2g}}{3}\,\,.....(i)$$
By horizontal equilibrium
$$f = N\cos {30^ \circ } = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}N = \frac{{16\sqrt 3 }}{3}\,{\text{From }}(i)$$
Taking torque about $$A$$ we get
$$\eqalign{
& 1.6g \times AB = N \times x \cr
& 1.6g \times \frac{\ell }{2}\cos {60^ \circ } = \frac{{3.2g}}{3} \times x \cr
& \therefore \frac{{3\ell }}{8} = x\,\,.....(ii) \cr
& {\text{But }}\cos {30^ \circ } = \frac{h}{x} \cr
& \therefore x = \frac{h}{{\cos {{30}^ \circ }}}\,\,\,.....(iii) \cr
& {\text{From }}(ii)\,\,{\text{and }}(iii) \cr
& \frac{h}{{\cos {{30}^ \circ }}} = \frac{{3\ell }}{8} \cr
& \therefore \frac{h}{\ell } = \frac{{3\sqrt 3 }}{{16}} \cr} $$
