A thin tablecloth covers a horizontal table and a unifirm body of round shape lies on top of it. The tablecloth os pulled from under the body, and friction causes the body to slide and rotate. What is the body's final motion on the table ? (Assume that the table is so large that the body does not fall off it)
.

A

Body will finally roll towards left

B

Body will finally, roll towards right

C

Body will finally come to rest

D

Any of the above is possible depending on shape of body

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

so body will finally come to rest.

A table cloth of length L is lying on a table with one of its end at the edge of the table. A block is kept at the centre of the table cloth. A man pulls the end of the table cloth horizontally so as to take it off the table. The cloth is pulled at a constant speed V_(0) . What can you say about the coefficient of friction between the block and the cloth if the block remains on the table (i.e., it does not fall off the edge) as the cloth is pulled out.

Three particles A, B and C each of mass m, are connected to each other by three massless rigid rods to form a rigid, equilateral triangular body of side l. This body is placed on a horizonta frictionsess table (x-y plane) and is hinged to it at the point A so that it can move without friction about the vertical axis through A . the body is set into rotational motion on the table about A with a constant angular velocity omega . (a) Find the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted by the hinge on the body. (b) At time T, when the side BC is parallel to the x-axis, a force F is applied on B along BC (as shown). Obtain the x-component and the y-component of the force exerted by the hinge on the body, immediately after time T.
