$A$ uniform disc is acted upon by two equal forces of magnitude $F$. One of them acts tangentially to the disc,while the other acts at the central point of the disc. The friction between the disc surface and the ground surface is $nF$. If $r$ is the radius of the disc,then the value of $n$ would be:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1.2$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3.2$

$A$ uniform rod of mass $8m$ and length $6a$ is placed on a horizontal table. Two point masses $m$ and $2m$ are moving with speeds $2v$ and $v$ respectively,as shown in the figure. They strike the rod and stick to it after the collision. Calculate the speed of the centre of mass of the system after the collision.

$A$ uniform thin wooden plank $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is kept on a table with its $B$ end slightly outside the edge of the table. When an impulse $J$ is given to the end $B$,the plank moves up with the centre of mass rising a distance $h$ from the surface of the table. Then,

The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of $(i)$ a motion of the centre of mass about an axis,and $(ii)$ its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider,for example,a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless stick,as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed $\omega$,the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of $(i)$ a rotation of the centre of mass of the disc about the $z$-axis,and $(ii)$ a rotation of the disc about an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points $P$ and $Q$). Both the motions have the same angular speed $\omega$ in this case. Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure: Case $(a)$ the disc with its face vertical and parallel to the $x-z$ plane; Case $(b)$ the disc with its face making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the $x-y$ plane,its horizontal diameter parallel to the $x$-axis. In both the cases,the disc is welded at point $P$,and systems are rotated with constant angular speed $\omega$ about the $z$-axis.
$1.$ Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?
$(A)$ It is $\sqrt{2} \omega$ for both the cases.
$(B)$ It is $\omega$ for case $(a)$; and $\frac{\omega}{\sqrt{2}}$ for case $(b)$.
$(C)$ It is $\omega$ for case $(a)$; and $\sqrt{2} \omega$ for case $(b)$.
$(D)$ It is $\omega$ for both the cases.
$2.$ Which of the following statements about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?
$(A)$ It is vertical for both the cases $(a)$ and $(b)$.
$(B)$ It is vertical for case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x-z$ plane and lies in the plane of the disc for case $(b)$.
$(C)$ It is horizontal for case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x-z$ plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case $(b)$.
$(D)$ It is vertical for case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x-z$ plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case $(b)$.
Give the answer for question $1$ and $2$.

$A$ rod $AB$ is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis through $A$ as shown in the figure. It is slightly disturbed from rest in its position of unstable equilibrium and when it is next vertical,the end $B$ collides with a fixed peg and rebounds. If the rod comes to instantaneous rest when $AB$ is horizontal (as shown in the figure),then:
