In a circus the diameter of the globe of depth is 20 m calculate the minimum height must a cyclist start in order to go round the globe successfully

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the cyclist rolls down the inciline
`mgh = (1)/(2) mv^(2)`
`:.` velocity gained `v=sqrt(2gh)`
for looping the loop the minimum velocity at the lowest point `=sqrt(5gr)`
`h= (5r)/(2 )`
`=(5)/(2) xx (10) =25 m`
Height of the cyclist `=25` m

A frequency generator with fixed frequency of 343 Hz is allowed to vibrate above a 1.0 m high tube . A pump is switched on to fill the water slowly in the tube . In order to get resonance , what must be the minimum height of the water ? (Speed of sound in air is 343 ms^(-1) ) .

A man of mass m having a bag ofmas m slips from the roof of atall building of height H and starts falling vertically figure. When at a height h from the ground, he notices that the ground below him is pretty hard but there is a pond at a horizontal distnce x from the line of fall. In order to save himself he throws the bag horizontally (with respect to himself) in the direction opposite to the pond. Calculate the minimum horizontal velocity imparted to the bag so that the man lands in the water. If the man just suceeds toavoid the hard ground, where will the bag land?

The earth revolves round the sun due to gravitatinal attraction. Suppose that the sun and the earth are point particle with their existing masses and that Bhor's quantization rule for angular monentum is valid in the case of gravitation (a) Calculate the minimum radius the earth can have for its orbit. (b) What is the value of the principle quantum number n for the present radius ? Mass of the earth = 6.0 xx 10^(24) kg, mass of the sun = 2.0 xx 10^(30) kg, earth-sun distance = 1.5 xx 10^(11)m .

A simple pendulum of length L having a bob of mass m is deflected from its rest position by an angle theta and released figure. The string hits a peg which is fixed at distance x below the point of suspension and the bob starts going in a circle centred at the peg. a. Assuming that initially the bob has a height less thasn the peg, show that the maximum height reached by the bob equals its initialheight. b. If the pendulum is released with theta=90^0 and m=L/2 find the maximum height reached by the bob above its lowest positon before the string becomes slack. c. Find the minimum value of x/L for which the bob goes in a complete circle about the pet when the pendulum is released from theta=90^0 .
