• Show that when the rings are about to slip off the rod its angular velocity is √g/a.
• Find the speed of either ring at this instant.
• If the point O is at a height a above the horizontal plane show that the distance between the points where
the ring strikes the plane is 2a√(6 + 2√3).
2. Two particles m1 and m2 are connected by a light elastic string of natural length lo and are placed on a smooth
horizontal table with separation between m1 and m2 as lo. m2 is projected with a velocity vo along the table at right
angles to the string. Show that the max length l of the particle is given by: l2(l-lo)=m1m2vo2(l+lo)/k(m1+m2) where k
is force const of string
3. Two equal particles are attached to the end of a light rod and a 3rd equal particle is connected by an inextensible
string to a point on the rod at distance a and b from its ends. The latter particle is projected at right angles to the
rod with a velocity vo. Show that when the string becomes taut the velocity of the particle is changed to
v1=vo(a2+b2)/2(a2+ab+b2) and that the rod begins to turn with angular velocity (a-b/a2+b2)v1.
4. A rod of length 2a and mass M is in motion in a horizontal plane with speed u at right angle to its length when
it collides with a small elastic sphere of equal mass whose center lies in the same plane. If the sphere is free to
move, Prove that angular velocity acquired by the rod cannot exceed (1+e)u√6/4a.
5. A cube rests on a rough plane of inclination θ (< π /4) with 2 of its upper and two of its lower edges
horizontal. A rope is attached to the midpoint of its upper most edge and is pulled parallel to the greatest slope of
the plane. Show that it will be impossible to drag the cube without upsetting it if the coefficient of friction
exceeds (1-tan θ )/2
6. A uniform rod of length 2a, mass m is set in motion by a sudden blow J acting at A and inclined at θ to rod as
shown. Find velocity of A of rod immediately after the impact and Prove that energy communicated is
J2(1+3sin2θ )/2m.
7. A small block of mass m is placed inside a hollow cone rotating about a vertical axis
with angular velocity ω as in the figure. The semivertical angle of the cone is θ and the coefficient of friction
between the cone and the block is µ . If the block is to remain at a constant height h above the apex of the cone,
what are the maximum and minimum values of ω ?
8. The shown arrangement is in a horizontal plane. The particle with mass m is restricted to move
in an elliptical orbit with shown dimension. The particle has velocity v at the shown position
towards right. Length of rod is 2l. The coefficient of restitution between the particle and the
rod is 1/3. The moment of inertia of rod is I, about O.
