$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along the side of a square of side '$a$',with a uniform speed $v$ in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is false for the angular momentum $\vec L$ about the origin?

  • A
    $\vec L = mv\left[ {\frac{R}{{\sqrt 2 }} + a} \right]\hat k$,when the particle is moving from $B$ to $C$
  • B
    $\vec L = \frac{{mvR}}{{\sqrt 2 }}\hat k$,when the particle is moving from $D$ to $A$
  • C
    $\vec L = mv\left[ {\frac{R}{{\sqrt 2 }} - a} \right]\hat k$,when the particle is moving from $C$ to $D$
  • D
    Both $(b)$ and $(c)$

Consider regular polygons with number of sides $n=3, 4, 5, \ldots$ as shown in the figure. The center of mass of all the polygons is at height $h$ from the ground. They roll on a horizontal surface about the leading vertex without slipping and sliding as depicted. The maximum increase in height of the locus of the center of mass for each polygon is $\Delta$. Then $\Delta$ depends on $n$ and $h$ as

One ice skater of mass $m$ moves with speed $2v$ to the right,while another of the same mass $m$ moves with speed $v$ toward the left,as shown in figure $I$. Their paths are separated by a distance $b$. At $t = 0$,when they are both at $x = 0$,they grasp a pole of length $b$ and negligible mass. For $t > 0$,consider the system as a rigid body of two masses $m$ separated by distance $b$,as shown in figure $II$. Which of the following is the correct formula for the motion after $t = 0$ of the skater initially at $y = b/2$?

$A$ rod hinged at one end is released from the horizontal position as shown in the figure. When it becomes vertical,its lower half separates without exerting any reaction at the breaking point. Then the maximum angle '$\theta$' made by the hinged upper half with the vertical is ......... $^o$.
