  • A cylinder executes pure rolling without slipping with a constant velocity on a plank, whose upper surface is rough enough, but lower surface is smooth. The plank is kept at rest on a smooth horizontal surface by the application of an external force F . Choose the correct alternative:

    A
    The direction of `F` is towards right.
    B
    The direction of `F` towards left.
    C
    The value of `F` is zero
    D
    The direction of `F` depends on the ratio of the relative masses of disc and plank.

    A rod of mass m and length L is kept on a horizontal smooth surface. The rod is hinged at its one end A . There are two springs, perpendicular to the rod, kept in the same horizontal plane. The spring of spring constant k is rigidly attached to the lower end of rod and spring of spring constant 12k just touches the rod at its midpoint C , as shown in the figure. If the rod is slightly displaced leftward and released then, the time period for small osciallation of the rod will be

    A uniform rod is kept vertically on a horizontally smooth surface at a point O. IF it is rotated slightly and released, it falls down on the horizontal surface. The lower end will remain

    Assertion (A): In a resequent fault line scarp the down throw side will form lower ground. Reason (R): The down throw side possesses the softer rock at the level of present erosion surface.

    Assertion One end of a massless rod of length l is hinged so that it is free to rotate in vertical plane about a horizontal axis. If a particle is attached to the other end of the rod, then the minimum speed at lower most position of the particle is sqrt(5gl) to complete the circular motion. Reason Work done by cnetripetal force on the particle is always zero.

    Assertion:Addition of solvent to a solution always lowers the V.P. Reason: The increase in relativer surface area given rise to an increases inV.P. for a given solution.
