A loop of rope is whirled at a high angular velocity`omega`, so that it becomes a taut circle of radius`R`. A kink develops in the whirling rope.
(a) Show that the speed of the kink in the rope is `v = omegaR`.
(b) Under what conditions does the kink remains stattionary relative to an observer on the ground?

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
(a) `T cos d theta` components are cancelled. `T sin d theta` components provided the necessary centriprtal force to `P theta`.

`:. 2T sin d theta = m_(PQ)R omega^(2)`
For small angles `sin d theta ~~ d theta`
`:. 2T d theta = [mu(2R)d theta]R omega^(2)`
Solving thr equation, we get
`sqrt((T)/(mu)) =v =R omega`

In the arrangement shown in the fig. a monkey of mass M keeps itself as well as block A at rest by firmly holding the rope. Rope is massless and the pulley is ideal. Height of the monkey and block A from the floor is h and 2h respectively [h = 2.5 m] (a) The monkey loosens its grip on the rope and slides down to the floor. At what height from the ground is block A at the instant the money hits the ground? (b) Another block of mass equal to that of A is stuck to the block A and the system is released. The monkey decides to keep itself at height h above the ground and it allows the rope to slide through its hand. With what speed will the block strike the ground? (c) In the situation described in (b), the monkey decides to prevent the block from striking the floor. The monkey remains at height h till the block crosses it. At the instant the block is crossing the monkey it begins climbing up the rope. Find the minimum acceleration of the monkey relative to the rope, so that the block is not able to hit the floor. Do you think that a monkey can climb with such an acceleration? ( g = 10ms^(-2) )

A disc is rotating with constant angular velocity omega in anticlockwise direction. An insect sitting at the centre (which is origin of our co-ordinate system) begins to crawl along a radius at time t = 0 with a constant speed V relative to the disc. At time t = 0 the velocity of the insect is along the X direction. (a) Write the position vector (vec(r)) of the insect at time ‘t’. (b) Write the velocity vector (vec(v)) of the insect at time ‘t’. (c) Show that the X component of the velocity of the insect become zero when the disc has rotated through an angle theta given by tan theta = (1)/(theta) .

Figure shows a conducting circular loop of radius a placed in a uniform, perpendicular magnetic field B.A thick metal rod OA is pivoted at the centre O . The other end of the rod toucher the loop are connected by a wire OC of resistance R.A force is applied at the middle point of the rod OA perpendicularly, so that the rod rotates clockwise at a uniform angular velocity omega . Find the force. (b) Consider the situation shown in the figure of the previous problem. Suppose the wire connecting O and C has zero resistance but the circular loop has a resistance R uniformly distributed along its lenght. The rod OA is made to rotate with a uniform angular speed omega as shown in the figure. Find the current in the rod when angleAOC=90^(@) .

A chain (A) of length L is coiled up on the edge of a table. Another identical chain (B) is placed straight on the table as shown. A very small length of both the chains is pushed off the edge and it starts falling under gravity. There is no friction (a) Find the acceleration of the chain B at the instant L_(2) length of it is hanging. Assume no kinks in the chain so that the entire chain moves with same speed. (b) For chain A assume that velocity of each element remains zero until it is jerked into motion with a velocity equal to that of the falling section. Find acceleration of the hanging section at the instant a length l_(0) has slipped off the table and its speed is known to be v_(0) at the instant.

A string is wrapped several times on a cylinder of mass M and radius R . the cylinder is pivoted about its adxis of block symmetry. A block of mass m tied to the string rest on a support positioned so that the string has no slack. The block is carefully lifted vertically a distance h , and the support is removed as shown figure. a. just before the string becomes taut evalute the angular velocity omega_(0) of the cylinder ,the speed v_(0) of the falling body, m and the kinetic energy K_(0) of the system. b. Evaluate the corresponding quanitities omega_(1), v_(1) and K_(1) for the instant just after the string becomes taut. c. Why is K_(1) less than K_(0) ? Where does the energy go? d. If M=m , what fraction of the kinetic energy is lost when the string becomes taut?

A block of mass 25 kg rests on a horizontal floor (mu = 0.2) . It is attached by a 5 m long horizontal rope to a peg fixed on floor. The block is pushed along the ground with an initial velocity of 10m//s so that it moves in a circle around the peg. Find (a) Tangential acceleration of the block. (b) Speed of the block at time t. (c) Time when tension in rope becomes zero.

(a) A line PQ is moving on a fixed circle of radius R. The line has a constant velocity v perpendicular to itself. Find the speed of point of intersection (A) of the line with the circle at the moment the line is at a distance d = R//2 from the centre of the circle. (b) In the figure shown a pin P is confined to move in a fixed circular slot of radius R. The pin is also constrained to remains inside the slot in a straight arm O'A. The arm moves with a constant angular speed w about the hinge O'. What is the acceleration of point P ?
