A bob of mass $$M$$ is suspended by a massless string of length $$L .$$ The horizontal velocity $$v$$ at position $$A$$ is just sufficient to make it reach the point $$B.$$ The angle $$\theta $$ at which the speed of the bob is half of that at $$A,$$ satisfies
A
$$\theta = \frac{\pi }{4}$$
B
$$\frac{\pi }{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi }{2}$$
C
$$\frac{\pi }{2} < \theta < \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$$
D
$$\frac{{3\pi }}{4} < \theta < \pi $$
Answer :
$$\frac{{3\pi }}{4} < \theta < \pi $$
This is the case of vertical motion when the body just completes the circle. Here
$$v = \sqrt {5gL} \,\,.....(i)$$
Applying energy conservation,
Total energy at $$A=$$ Total energy at $$P$$
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{1}{2}m{\left( {\frac{v}{2}} \right)^2} + mgh \cr
& \Rightarrow h = \frac{{3{v^2}}}{{8g}} \cr
& = \frac{3}{{8g}} \times 5gL = \frac{{15L}}{8}\,\,.....(ii) \cr} $$
In $$\Delta OPM,\,\,\cos \theta = \frac{{L - h}}{L} = \frac{{L - \frac{{15L}}{8}}}{L} = \frac{{ - 7}}{8}$$
Therefore, the value of $$\theta $$ lies in the range $$\frac{{3\pi }}{4} < \theta < \pi $$

$$\left( {n - 1} \right)$$ equal point masses each of mass $$m$$ are placed at the vertices of a regular $$n$$-polygon. The vacant vertex has a position vector $$a$$ with respect to the centre of the polygon. The position vector of centre of mass is
Let the $$C.M.$$ be $$'b'.$$ Then,
$$\frac{{\left( {n - 1} \right)mb + ma}}{{mn}} = 0 \Rightarrow b = - \frac{1}{{n - 1}}a$$

A system consists of three particles, each of mass $$m$$ and located at $$\left( {1,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right)$$ and $$\left( {3,3} \right).$$ The coordinates of the centre of mass are
A
$$\left( {1,1} \right)$$
B
$$\left( {2,2} \right)$$
C
$$\left( {3,3} \right)$$
D
$$\left( {6,6} \right)$$
Answer :
$$\left( {2,2} \right)$$
The coordinates of C.M of three particle are
$$\eqalign{
& x = \frac{{{m_1}{x_1} + {m_2}{x_2} + {m_3}{x_3}}}{{\;{m_1} + {m_2} + {m_3}}} \cr
& \& \,\,y = \frac{{{m_1}{y_1} + {m_2}{y_2} + {m_3}{y_3}}}{{\;{m_1} + {m_2} + {m_3}}} \cr
& {\text{here}}\,{m_1} = {m_2} = {m_3} = m \cr
& {\text{so}}\,x = \frac{{\left( {{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3}} \right)m}}{{m + m + m}} = 2, \cr
& y = \frac{{\left( {{y_1} + {y_2} + {y_3}} \right)m}}{{m + m + m}} = 2 \cr} $$

The moment of inertia of a uniform semicircular wire of mass $$m$$ and radius $$r,$$ about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to its plane is $$m{r^2}\left( {1 - \frac{k}{{{\pi ^2}}}} \right)$$ then find the value of $$k.$$
75.
Moment of inertia of a circular wire of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$ about its diameter is-
A
$$\frac{{M{R^2}}}{2}$$
B
$$M{R^2}$$
C
$$2M{R^2}$$
D
$$\frac{{M{R^2}}}{4}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{M{R^2}}}{2}$$
$$M.I.$$ of a circular wire about an axis $$nn '$$ passing through the centre of the circle and perpendicular to the plane of the circle $$ = M{R^2}$$
As shown in the figure, X-axis and Y-axis lie in the plane of the ring . Then by perpendicular axis theorem
$$\eqalign{
& {I_X} + {I_Y} = {I_Z} \cr
& \Rightarrow 2{I_X} = M{R^2}\left[ {\because {I_X} = {I_Y}\left( {{\text{by symmetry}}} \right){I_Z} = M{R^2}} \right] \cr
& \therefore {I_X} = \frac{1}{2}M{R^2} \cr} $$

A particle of mass $$M$$ is revolving along a circle of radius $$R$$ and another particle of mass $$m$$ is revolving in a circle of radius $$r.$$ If time periods of both particles are same, then the ratio of their angular velocities is
A
$$1$$
B
$$\frac{R}{r}$$
C
$$\frac{r}{R}$$
D
$$\sqrt {\frac{R}{r}} $$
Answer :
$$1$$
Angular velocity of particle is given by $$\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T}$$
$${\text{or}}\,\,\omega \propto \frac{1}{T}\,\,\,\left[ {T = {\text{time period of the particle}}} \right]$$
It simply implies that $$\omega $$ does not depend on mass of the body and radius of the circle.
$$\therefore \frac{{{\omega _1}}}{{{\omega _2}}} = \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}$$
but given time period is same, i.e. $${T_1} = {T_2}$$
Hence, $$\frac{{{\omega _1}}}{{{\omega _2}}} = \frac{1}{1}$$

A solid sphere is rotating in free space. If the radius of the sphere is increased keeping mass same which one of the following will not be affected?
A
Angular velocity
B
Angular momentum
C
Moment of inertia
D
Rotational kinetic energy
Answer :
Angular momentum
Angular momentum will remain the same since external torque is zero.

A cylinder $$A$$ rolls without slipping on a plank $$B.$$ The velocities of center of the cylinder and that of the plank are $$4\,m/s$$ and $$2\,m/s$$ respectively in same direction, with respect to the ground. Find the angular velocity of the cylinder (in $$rad/s$$ ) if its radius is $$1m.$$
