Four identical point masses $m$ are joined by light strings of length $l$ and arranged to form a square frame. The center of the table coincides with the center of the arrangement. If the arrangement rotates with a constant angular velocity $\omega$,find the tension in each string.

  • A
    $\frac{m{\omega ^2}l}{4}$
  • B
    $m{\omega ^2}l/2$
  • C
    $m{\omega ^2}l/\sqrt 2 $
  • D
    $m{\omega ^2}l$

Two small balls are fixed at the ends of a light rigid rod of length $L = 0.4 \ m$. The system is released from a height $h = 5 \ m$ with the rod horizontal. The balls collide with the horizontal surface and rebound. The coefficient of restitution between ball $A$ and the ground is $e_A = 0.6$ and that between ball $B$ and the ground is $e_B = 0.4$. Find the angular speed (in $rad/s$) of the rod just after the collision. Take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.

Consider two masses with $m_1 > m_2$ connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a pulley of radius $R$ and moment of inertia $I$ about its axis of rotation. The string does not slip on the pulley and the pulley turns without friction. The two masses are released from rest separated by a vertical distance $2h$. When the two masses pass each other,the speed of the masses is proportional to

In the given figure,a solid cylinder of mass $m_2$ and radius $R$ is suspended by a string wrapped around it,which passes over a fixed pulley of mass $m_1$ and radius $R$. If the linear acceleration of the solid cylinder is $a_2$ and there is no slipping,what is its angular acceleration $\alpha_2$?

The direction of the angular velocity vector is along which of the following?

$A$ body is in pure rotation. The linear speed $v$ of a particle,the distance $r$ of the particle from the axis,and the angular velocity $\omega$ of the body are related as $\omega = \frac{v}{r}$. Thus,
