There is a rod of length $l$. The velocities of its two ends are $v_1$ and $v_2$ in opposite directions normal to the rod. The distance of the instantaneous axis of rotation from $v_1$ is:

$A$ uniform cube of side '$a$' and mass '$m$' rests on a rough horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point that is directly above the centre of the face,at a height $\frac{3a}{4}$ above the base. The minimum value of $F$ for which the cube begins to topple about the edge is (Assume that the cube does not slide).

Calculate the minimum amount of work necessary to overturn a crate of mass $100 \ kg$,first about edge $AB$,then about edge $A_1B_1$. The dimensions of the crate are given in the figure. (Assume $g = 10 \ m/s^2$) (in $J$)

$A$ table has a heavy circular top of radius $1 \,m$ and mass $20 \,kg$ placed on four light (considered massless) legs placed symmetrically on its circumference. The maximum mass that can be kept anywhere on the table without toppling it is close to ............. $kg$.

$A$ cube with sides of length $2a$ and mass $M$ is moving with an initial speed $v_0$ along a frictionless table. When the cube reaches the end of the table it is caught abruptly by a short lip and begins to rotate. The minimum speed $v_0$ such that the cube falls off the table is

$A$ hollow cone of radius $R$ and height $H = 2R$ is placed on an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$. If $\theta$ is increased gradually,at what value of $\theta$ will the cone topple? Assume sufficient friction is present to prevent slipping.
