  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Three particles of masses 1 kg, 2 kg and 3 kg are situated at the corners of the equilateral triangle move at speed 6 ms$$^{-1}$$, 3 ms$$^{-1}$$ and 2 ms$$^{-1}$$ respectively. Each particle maintains a direction towards the particle at the next corner symmetrically. Find velocity of COM of the system at this instant :
    Solution
    Given :    $$m_1 = 1kg$$             $$m_2 = 2kg$$                 $$m_3 = 3kg$$
                   $$v_1 = 6$$  $$m/s$$             $$v_2 = 3$$  $$m/s$$                   $$v_3 = 2$$  $$m/s$$
    Let velocity of their centre of mass be $$\vec{V_{CM}}$$
    Using      $$\vec{V_{CM} }  = \dfrac{m_1 \vec{v_1} + m_2 \vec{v_2} + m_3 \vec{v_3}}{m_1+m_2+m_3}$$
     $$\vec{V_{CM} }  = \dfrac{1 (-6sin30^o  \hat{i}  - 6cos30^o\hat{j}) + 2 (3\hat{i}) + 3 (-2cos60^o\hat{i} + 2sin60^o  \hat{j})}{1+2+3}$$

    $$\vec{V_{CM} }  = \dfrac{1 (-6 \times \frac{1}{2}  \hat{i}  - 6\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j}) + 2 (3\hat{i}) + 3 (-2\times \frac{1}{2}\hat{i} + 2\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}  \hat{j})}{6}$$
    $$\implies \vec{V_{CM}} = 0$$

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    A streamlined and almost symmetrical car of mass $$M$$ has centre of gravity at a distance $$p$$ from the rear wheel, $$q$$ from the front wheel and $$h$$ from the road. If the car has required power and friction, the maximum acceleration developed without tipping over towards back is:

    Solution
    $$ M{ a }_{ Max }\times h=Mg\times p$$

    (q will not matter as per statement of the question because when the car is about to topple, the whole reaction is on the rear wheel as front wheel in no more in contact with the ground and here R is the reaction of the rear wheel.

    $$ \\ { a }_{ Max }=\dfrac { pg }{ h } $$
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    A steel plate of thickness $$h$$ has the shape of a square whose side equals $$l$$, with $$h\ll l$$. The plate is rigidly fixed to a vertical axle $$OO$$ which is rotated with a constant angular acceleration $$\beta$$ (figure shown above). Find the deflection $$\lambda$$ assuming the sagging to be small.

    Solution

    The deflection of the plate can be noticed by going to a co- rotating frame. In this frame each element of the plate experiences a pseudo force proportional to its mass. These forces have a moment which constitutes the bending moment of the problem. To calculate this moment we note that the acceleration of an element at a distance $$\xi$$ from the axis is $$a=\xi\beta$$ and the moment of the forces exerted by the section between $$x$$ and $$l$$ is

    $$\displaystyle N=\rho lh\beta\int_x^l{\xi^2d\xi}=\frac{1}{3}\rho lh\beta(l^3-x^3)$$.

    From the fundamental equation

    $$\displaystyle EI\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{1}{3}\rho lh\beta(l^3-x^3)$$.

    The moment of inertia $$\displaystyle I=\int_{\displaystyle-\frac{h}{2}}^{\displaystyle+\frac{h}{2}}{z^2ldz}=\frac{lh^3}{12}$$

    Note that the neutral surface (i.e. the surface which contains lines which are neither stretched nor compressed) is a vertical plane here and $$z$$ is perpendicular to it.

    $$\displaystyle\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{4\rho\beta}{Eh^2}(l^3-x^3)$$. Integrating

    $$\displaystyle\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4\rho\beta}{Eh^2}\left(l^3x-\frac{x^4}{4}\right)+c_1$$

    Since $$\displaystyle\frac{dy}{dx}=0$$, for $$x=0$$, $$c_1=0$$. Integrating again,

    $$\displaystyle y=\frac{4\rho\beta}{Eh^2}\left(\frac{l^3x^2}{2}-\frac{x^5}{20}\right)+c_2$$

    $$c_2=0$$ because $$y=0$$ for $$x=0$$

    Thus $$\displaystyle\lambda=y(x=l)=\frac{9\rho\beta l^5}{5Eh^2}$$

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    A particle of mass m comes down on a smooth inclined plane from point B at a height of h from rest. The magnitude of change in momentum of the particle between position A (just before arriving on horizontal surface) and C (assuming the angle of inclination of the plane as $$\theta$$ with respect to the horizontal) is :
    Solution
    Let velocity of the particle at the base of the inclined plane be  $$v$$
    Work-energy theorem :             $$W_{g} = \Delta K.E$$
    $$mgh = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2 - 0$$
    $$\implies v = \sqrt{2gh}$$
    Momentum of the particle at point C,       $$\vec{P_c} = mv  \hat{i}$$
    Momentum of the particle at point A,       $$\vec{P_A} = mvcos\theta  \hat{i} - mvsin\theta \hat{j}$$
    Change in momentum between A and C,         $$ \Delta \vec{ P} = \vec{P_c} - \vec{P_A}$$
       $$ \Delta \vec{ P} = mv (1-cos\theta)  \hat{i} - mvsin\theta \hat{j}$$
    $$| \Delta \vec{ P}| = \sqrt{m^2v^2 (1-cos\theta)^2 + m^2v^2sin^2\theta}$$

    $$| \Delta \vec{ P}| = mv  \sqrt{ 1+ cos^2\theta -2cos\theta +sin^2\theta}$$
    $$| \Delta \vec{ P}| = mv  \sqrt{ 2 (1-cos\theta)}$$                              $$\bigg(\because 1-cos\theta = 2sin^2 \dfrac{\theta}{2}\bigg)$$
    $$\implies $$ $$| \Delta \vec{ P}| =2 mv  sin \bigg(\dfrac{\theta }{2}\bigg)$$ $$ =2 m\sqrt{2gh}  sin \bigg(\dfrac{\theta }{2}\bigg)$$

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    The radius of gyration of a plane lamina of mass $$M$$, length $$L$$ and breadth $$B$$ about an axis passing through its center of gravity and perpendicular to its plane will be

    Solution
    The moment of inertia about a rectangular lamina with area density $$\rho$$ is $$\int \int \rho r^2 dA$$. Here r is the distance from each point to the axis of rotation and $$dA$$ is the differential of area.
    Take the center of the rectangle to be at $$(0,0)$$ so the vertices are $$(L/2, B/2)$$, etc. Then the distance from (x,y) to the axis of rotation (passing through $$(0,0)$$ perpendicular to the plate) is $$x^2+ y^2$$ and the moment of inertia is
    $$\displaystyle\int^{L/2}_{-L/2}\int^{B/2}_{B/2}\rho(x^2+y^2)dxdy$$
    or
    $$\displaystyle\int^{L/2}_{-L/2}\rho(Bx^2+\frac{1}{12}B^3)$$
    or
    $$\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}\rho(L^3B+LB^3)$$
    Now as $$M=\rho LB$$, thus we get moment of inertia as $$\displaystyle\frac{M}{12}(L^2+B^2)$$
    so radius of gyration is $$K=\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{M}}$$
    $$\implies K= \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}(L^2+B^2)}$$
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Four identical rods are joined end to end to form a square. The mass of each rod is $$M$$. The moment of inertia of the square about the median line is 
    Solution
    Consider the frame made using four rods as shown.
    We have the moment of inertia of rod AB about the center of mass as $$\dfrac{Ml^2}{12}+M(\dfrac{l}{2})^2=\dfrac{Ml^2}{3}$$
    Thus we get the moment of inertia of all the four rods as $$\dfrac{4}{3}Ml^2$$
    Now using perpendicular axis theorem we see the the moment of inertia about perpendicular medians is given as $$2I=\dfrac{4}{3}Ml^2$$
    Thus we get $$I=\dfrac{2}{3}Ml^2$$
    Thus none of the above is the correct answer.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Two particles of equal mass have initial velocities $$2\hat{i}\, ms^{-1}\, and\, 2\hat{j}\, ms^{-1}$$. First particle has a constant acceleration $$(\hat{i}\,+\,\hat{j})\, ms^{-1}$$ while the acceleration of the second particle is always zero. The centre of mass of the two particles moves in :
    Solution
    Velocity of center of mass is given by:
    $$v = \dfrac{v_{1} m_{1} + v_{2} m_{2}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = i + j$$
    Acceleration of center of mass is given by:
    $$a = \dfrac{a_{1} m_{1} + a_{2} m_{2}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = \dfrac{1}{2}(i + j)$$
    Acceleration and velocity both have the same direction, hence the body moves along the same line (i+j).
    Hence it moves in a straight line.
    Option D is correct.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Three rings each of mass m and radius r are so placed that they touch each other. The radius or gyration of the system about the axis as shown in the figure is:

    Solution

    correct option is (D)

     $$\textbf{HINT:}$$ Moment of inertia is defined as the product of mass of section and the square of the distance between the reference axis and the centroid of the section . Spinning figure skaters can reduce their moment of inertia by pulling in their arms, allowing them to spin faster due to conservation of angular momentum

    $$\textbf{Step1:}$$  finding momentum of inertia of upper ring about  axis

    Moment of inertia of the upper ring about the axis $$\mathrm{I}_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2} \mathrm{mr}^{2}$$

    Now, Momentum of inertia of one the lower ring

    Moment of inertia of the one of the lower ring about the axis $$\mathrm{I}_{2}=\dfrac{1}{2} \mathrm{mr}^{2}+$$ $$\mathrm{mr}^{2}=\dfrac{3}{2} \mathrm{mr}^{2}$$

    $$\textbf{Step 2:}$$ finding momentum  of inertia of  of second lower ring

     

    Similarly, moment of inertia of the second lower ring about the axis $$\mathrm{I}_{3}=$$ $$\dfrac{3}{2} \mathrm{mr}^{2}$$

    $$\textbf{Step 3:}$$: fining total momentum

    Total moment of inertia of the system about the axis $$\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{1}+\mathrm{I}_{2}+\mathrm{I}_{3}=\dfrac{7}{2} \mathrm{mr}^{2}$$ 

    Radius of gyration $$\mathrm{k}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\mathrm{I}}{3 \mathrm{~m}}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{7}{6}} \mathrm{r}$$

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Consider the following two statement-
    [A] Linear momentum of a system of particle is zero
    [B] kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero. Then
    Solution
    If KE = 0, then all velocities have to be zero(if non-massless particles),
    thus, linear momentum =0.
    But if linear momentum = 0, it can also mean objects are moving in opp. direction. Thus, velocities need not be 0, so KE not equal to 0.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Linear mass density of the two rods system, $$AC$$ and $$CB$$ is $$x$$. Moment of inertia of two rods about an axis passing through $$AB$$ is

    Solution
    $$\displaystyle L=\frac{l}{2} \sec 45^{\circ} =\frac{l}{\sqrt{2}}$$
    $$\displaystyle m=Lx =\frac {lx}{\sqrt{2}}$$
    $$\displaystyle

    I=2 \left[ \frac{mL^{2}}{3} \sin^{2} 45^{\circ} \right] =2 \left[

    \left( \frac{lx}{3\sqrt{2}}\right) \left( \frac{l}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}

    \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \right]$$
    $$\displaystyle =\frac{xl^{3}}{6\sqrt{2}}$$
