A bob of mass $$M$$ is suspended by a massless string of length $$L .$$ The horizontal velocity $$v$$ at position $$A$$ is just sufficient to make it reach the point $$B.$$ The angle $$\theta $$ at which the speed of the bob is half of that at $$A,$$ satisfies
This is the case of vertical motion when the body just completes the circle. Here
$$v = \sqrt {5gL} \,\,.....(i)$$
Applying energy conservation,
Total energy at $$A=$$ Total energy at $$P$$
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{1}{2}m{\left( {\frac{v}{2}} \right)^2} + mgh \cr
& \Rightarrow h = \frac{{3{v^2}}}{{8g}} \cr
& = \frac{3}{{8g}} \times 5gL = \frac{{15L}}{8}\,\,.....(ii) \cr} $$
In $$\Delta OPM,\,\,\cos \theta = \frac{{L - h}}{L} = \frac{{L - \frac{{15L}}{8}}}{L} = \frac{{ - 7}}{8}$$
Therefore, the value of $$\theta $$ lies in the range $$\frac{{3\pi }}{4} < \theta < \pi $$

$$\left( {n - 1} \right)$$ equal point masses each of mass $$m$$ are placed at the vertices of a regular $$n$$-polygon. The vacant vertex has a position vector $$a$$ with respect to the centre of the polygon. The position vector of centre of mass is
Let the $$C.M.$$ be $$'b'.$$ Then,
$$\frac{{\left( {n - 1} \right)mb + ma}}{{mn}} = 0 \Rightarrow b = - \frac{1}{{n - 1}}a$$

A system consists of three particles, each of mass $$m$$ and located at $$\left( {1,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right)$$ and $$\left( {3,3} \right).$$ The coordinates of the centre of mass are
The coordinates of C.M of three particle are
$$\eqalign{
& x = \frac{{{m_1}{x_1} + {m_2}{x_2} + {m_3}{x_3}}}{{\;{m_1} + {m_2} + {m_3}}} \cr
& \& \,\,y = \frac{{{m_1}{y_1} + {m_2}{y_2} + {m_3}{y_3}}}{{\;{m_1} + {m_2} + {m_3}}} \cr
& {\text{here}}\,{m_1} = {m_2} = {m_3} = m \cr
& {\text{so}}\,x = \frac{{\left( {{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3}} \right)m}}{{m + m + m}} = 2, \cr
& y = \frac{{\left( {{y_1} + {y_2} + {y_3}} \right)m}}{{m + m + m}} = 2 \cr} $$

The moment of inertia of a uniform semicircular wire of mass $$m$$ and radius $$r,$$ about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to its plane is $$m{r^2}\left( {1 - \frac{k}{{{\pi ^2}}}} \right)$$ then find the value of $$k.$$
$$M.I.$$ of a circular wire about an axis $$nn '$$ passing through the centre of the circle and perpendicular to the plane of the circle $$ = M{R^2}$$
As shown in the figure, X-axis and Y-axis lie in the plane of the ring . Then by perpendicular axis theorem
$$\eqalign{
& {I_X} + {I_Y} = {I_Z} \cr
& \Rightarrow 2{I_X} = M{R^2}\left[ {\because {I_X} = {I_Y}\left( {{\text{by symmetry}}} \right){I_Z} = M{R^2}} \right] \cr
& \therefore {I_X} = \frac{1}{2}M{R^2} \cr} $$

A particle of mass $$M$$ is revolving along a circle of radius $$R$$ and another particle of mass $$m$$ is revolving in a circle of radius $$r.$$ If time periods of both particles are same, then the ratio of their angular velocities is
Angular velocity of particle is given by $$\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T}$$
$${\text{or}}\,\,\omega \propto \frac{1}{T}\,\,\,\left[ {T = {\text{time period of the particle}}} \right]$$
It simply implies that $$\omega $$ does not depend on mass of the body and radius of the circle.
$$\therefore \frac{{{\omega _1}}}{{{\omega _2}}} = \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}$$
but given time period is same, i.e. $${T_1} = {T_2}$$
Hence, $$\frac{{{\omega _1}}}{{{\omega _2}}} = \frac{1}{1}$$

A solid sphere is rotating in free space. If the radius of the sphere is increased keeping mass same which one of the following will not be affected?
Angular momentum will remain the same since external torque is zero.

A cylinder $$A$$ rolls without slipping on a plank $$B.$$ The velocities of center of the cylinder and that of the plank are $$4\,m/s$$ and $$2\,m/s$$ respectively in same direction, with respect to the ground. Find the angular velocity of the cylinder (in $$rad/s$$ ) if its radius is $$1m.$$
