A particle of mass `m` slides along a curved-flat-curved track. The curved portions of the track are smooth. If the particle is released at the top of one of the curved portions, the particle comes to rest at flat portion of length l and of `mu=mu_(ki n etic)` after covering a distance of

A

(a) `(l)/(3mu)`

B

(b) `(H)/(2mu_(ki n etic)`

C

(c) `l/6`

D

(d) `(H)/(mu_(ki n etic))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Here PE=Work done
`mgH=mu_(ki n etic)mgS` or `S=(H)/(mu_(ki n etic))`
The particle covers the length l or not or covers it repeatedly is determined by the above relation.

The curved portions are smooth and horizontal surface is rough. The block is released from P . At what distance from A it will stop?

A point particle of mass m, moves long the uniformly rough track PQR as shown in figure. The coefficient of friction, between the particle and the rough track equals mu . The particle is released, from rest from the point P and it comes to rest at a point R. The energies, lost by the ball, over the parts, PQ and QR, of the track, are equal to each other, and no energy is lost when particle changes direction from PQ to QR. The value of the coefficient of friction mu and the distance x (=QR) , are, respectively close to:

A particle of mass 5kg is free to slide on a smooth ring of radius r=20cm fixed in a vertical plane. The particle is attached to one end of a spring whose other end is fixed to the top point O of the ring. Initially, the particle is at rest at a point A of the ring such that /_OCA=60^@ , C being the centre of the ring. The natural length of the spring is also equal to r=20cm . After the particle is released and slides down the ring, the contact force between the particle and the ring becomes zero when it reaches the lowest position B. Determine the force constant (i n xx 10^2Nm^-1) of the spring.
