A small mass `m` and its supporting wire because a simple pendulum when the horizontal cord is cut . Find the ratio of the tension in the supporting wire immediately after the cord is cut to the tension in the wire before the cord is cut

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(T_("after cut"))/(T_ ("before cut)) = (mg cos theta)/(mg// cos theta)= cos^(2) theta`

A pendulum has a bob connected to a light wire. Bob ‘A’ is in equilibrium in the position shown. The string is horizontal and is connected to a block B resting on a rough surface. The block B is on verge of sliding when theta = 60^(@) . (a) Is equilibrium possible if theta were 70^(@) ? (b) With theta = 60^(@) , calculate the ratio of tension in the pendulum wire immediately after the string is cut to the tension in the wire before the string is cut.

If a simple pendulum of mass m is released from a horizontal position, find the tension in the string as a function of the angle theta with the horizontal.

A ball is held at rest in position A by two light cords. The horizontal cord is now cut and the ball swings to the position B. What is the ratio of the tension in the cord in position B to that in position A?

A straight horizontal conducting rod of length 0*45m and mass 60g is suspended by two vertical wires at its end. A current of 5*0A is set up in the rod through the wires. (a) What magnetic field should be set up normal to the conductor in order that the tension in the wires is zero? (b) What will be the total tension in the wires if the direction of current is reversed, keeping the magnetic field same as before. (Ignore the mass of the wire) g=9*8ms^-2 .

Figure shows a uniform disk, with mass M = 2.5 kg and radius R = 20 cm, mounted on a fixed horizontal axle. A block with mass m = 1.2 kg hangs from a massless cord that is wrapped around the rim of the disk. Find the acceleration of the falling block, the angular acceleration of the disk, and the tension in the cord. The cord does not slip, and there is no friction at the axle.

A straight horizontal conducting rod of length 0*60m and mass of 60g is suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. A current of 5*0A is set up in the rod through the wire. (a) What magnetic field should be set up normal to the conductor in order that the tension in the wire is zero? (b) What will be total tension in the wires if the direction of current is reversed, keeping the magnetic field same as before (Ignore mass of the wire), g=10ms^-2 .

A uniform rod of mass m and length l is held horizontally by two vertical strings of negligible mass, as shown in the figure. (a). Immediately after the right string is cut, what is the linear acceleration of the end of the rod? (b). Of the middle of the rod? (c). Determine the tension in the left string immediately after the right string is cut.

The circular current loop of radius b shown in Fig. is mounted rigidly on the axle, midway between the two supporting cords. In the absence of an external magnetic field, the tensions in the cords are equal and are T_0. a. What will be the tensions in the two cords when the vertical magnetic field B is present? b. Repeat if the field is parallel to the axis.
