Concrete mixture is made by mixing cement,stone,and sand in a rotating cylindrical drum. If the drum rotates too fast,the ingredients remain stuck to the wall of the drum and proper mixing of ingredients does not take place. The maximum rotational speed of the drum in revolutions per minute (rpm) to ensure proper mixing is close to (Take the radius of the drum to be $1.25\, m$ and its axle to be horizontal).

  • A
    $27.0$
  • B
    $0.4$
  • C
    $1.3$
  • D

An object is at the top of a smooth sphere which is kept fixed. As the object slides down after being given a negligible side push,what is the behavior of the magnitude of the acceleration of the object during its motion until it reaches the ground?

$A$ stone of mass $m$ $kg$ is tied to a string of length $L$ $m$ and moved in a vertical circle of radius $49$ $cm$ in a vertical plane. If it completes $30$ revolutions per minute,the tension in the string when it is at the lowermost point is nearly. [Take $\pi^2=10$ and acceleration due to gravity,$g=10$ $m/s^2$]

$A$ pendulum consisting of a small sphere of mass $m$ suspended by an inextensible and massless string of length $l$ is made to swing in a vertical plane. If the breaking strength of the string is $2mg$,then the maximum angular amplitude of the displacement from the vertical can be ....... $^o$

The string of a pendulum of length $L$ is displaced through $90^{\circ}$ from the vertical and released. The maximum tension the string must withstand as the pendulum passes through the mean position is ($m =$ mass of the pendulum,$g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

The maximum and minimum tension in the string whirling in a circle of radius $2.5 \, m$ with constant velocity are in the ratio $5 : 3$. Then its velocity is:
