Suppose you are standing on the edge of ...

Suppose you are standing on the edge of a spinning platform and step off at right angles to the edge (radially outward). Now consider it the other way. You are standing on the ground next to a spinning carousel and you step onto the platform at right angles to the edge (radially inward).

A

There is no change in rotational speed of the carousel in either situation.

B

There is a change in rotational speed in the first situation but not the second.

C

There is a change in rotational speed in the second situation but not the first.

D

There is a change in rotational speed in both instances

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In first case the impulse on the platform will act radially inward and it will not produce any angular impulse.
In second case, when man steps into platform, moment of inertia of system increases, so rotational speed decreases.

A uniform cube with edge a rests on a horizontal plane whose friction coefficient equals k. The cube is set in motion with an intial velocity, travels some distance over the plane and comes to a stand still. Explain the disappearance of the angular momentum of the cube relative to the axis lying in the plane at right angles to the cube's motion direction. Find the distance between the resultants of gravitational forces and the reaction forces exerted by the supporting plane.

The Government of India is planning to fix a hoarding board at the face of a building on the road of a busy market for awareness on COVID-19 protocol. Ram, Robert and Rahim are the three engineers who are working on this project. “A” is considered to be a person viewing the hoarding board 20 metres away from the building, standing at the edge of a pathway nearby. Ram, Robert and Rahim suggested to the firm to place the hoarding board at three different locations namely C, D and E. “C” is at the height of 10 metres from the ground level. For the viewer A, the angle of elevation of “D” is double the angle of elevation of “C” The angle of elevation of “E” is triple the angle of elevation of “C” for the same viewer. Look at the figure given and based on the above information answer the following: A^(1) Is another viewer standing on the same line of observation across the road. If the width of the road is 5 meters, then the difference between /_CAB and /_CA'B Is
