A shell is fired from a cannon with a velocity v (m//sec.) at an angle theta with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon and the speed (in m//sec. ) of the other piece immediately after the explosion is

A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass M and radius R is attaached to two identical massless springs of spring constatn k which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance d from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in horizontal plane. the unstretched length of each spring is L. The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass (CM) at a distance L from the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity vecV_0 = vacV_0hati. The coefficinet of friction is mu. The net external force acting on the disk when its centre of mass is at displacement x with respect to its equilibrium position is.

A body of mass 1kg initially at rest explodes and breaks into threee fragments of masses in the ration breaks into three fragments of masses in the ration 1: 1: 3 . The two pieces of equal masses fly off perpendicular to each other with a speed of 30m//s each What is the velocity of heavier fragments ? .

A bar magnet of magnetic moment m and moment of inertia I (about centre, perpendicular to length) is cut into two equal pieces, perpendicular to length. Let T be the period of oscillations of the original magnet about an axis through the mid point, perpendicular to length, in a magnetic field B. What would be the similar period T' for each piece ?

Two particles, each of mass m, are connected by a light inextensible string of lenthe 2l . Initially they lie on a smooth horizontal table at points A and B distant l apart. The particle at A is projected across the table with velocity u. Find the speed with which the second particle begins to move if the direction of u is :- (i) along BA. (ii) at an angle of 120^(@) with AB (iii) perpendicular to AB. In each case calculate (in teerms of m and u) the impulsive tension in the string.

The mass of a box measured by a grocer's balance is 2.30 kg. Two gold pieces of masses 20.15 g and 20.17 g are added to the box. What is (a) the total mass of the box, (b) the difference in the masses of the pieces to correct significant figures ?
