$A$ thin rod of length $L$ is placed vertically on a frictionless horizontal floor and released with a negligible push to allow it to fall. At any moment,the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. If the center of mass has acceleration $= A$,and the rod has an angular acceleration $= \alpha$ at that moment,then:

  • A
    $A = (L\alpha) \sin \theta$
  • B
    $A/2 = (L\alpha) \sin \theta$
  • C
    $2A = (L\alpha) \sin \theta$
  • D
    $A = L\alpha$

Two point-like objects of masses $20 \text{ g}$ and $30 \text{ g}$ are fixed at the two ends of a rigid massless rod of length $10 \text{ cm}$. This system is suspended vertically from a rigid ceiling using a thin wire attached to its center of mass,as shown in the figure. The resulting torsional pendulum undergoes small oscillations. The torsional constant of the wire is $1.2 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N m rad}^{-1}$. The angular frequency of the oscillations is $n \times 10^{-3} \text{ rad s}^{-1}$. The value of $n$ is

Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed $\omega$ about its centre $O$. The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown,two pebbles $P$ and $Q$ are simultaneously projected at an angle towards $R$. The velocity of projection is in the $y-z$ plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that $(i)$ they land back on the disc before the disc completes $\frac{1}{8}$ rotation,$(ii)$ their range is less than half disc radius,and $(iii)$ $\omega$ remains constant throughout. Then

$A$ man is sitting in a smooth groove on a horizontal circular table at the edge by holding a rope joined to the centre. The moment of inertia of the table is $I$. The mass of the man is $M$. The man now pulls the rope so that he comes to the centre. The angular velocity of the table:

$A$ wheel of radius $0.5 \ m$ and a moment of inertia of $10 \ kg \cdot m^2$ is rotating freely at an angular speed of $70 \ rev/min$. The wheel can be stopped in $5.0 \ s$ by pressing a wet cloth against the rim and exerting a radially inward force of $88 \ N$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheel and wet cloth is:

$A$ block of mass $m = 1 \, kg$ slides with velocity $v = 6 \, m/s$ on a frictionless horizontal surface and collides with a uniform vertical rod and sticks to it as shown. The rod is pivoted about $O$ and swings as a result of the collision,making an angle $\theta$ before momentarily coming to rest. If the rod has mass $M = 2 \, kg$ and length $l = 1 \, m$,the value of $\theta$ is approximately (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$) (in $^{\circ}$)
