The stone of mass 100 g is suspended from the end of a weightless string of length 100 cm and is allowed to swing in a vertical plane.The speed of the mass is 2 m s^-1 when the string makes an angle of 60^@ with the vertical .Calculate the tension in the string at theta = 60^@ .Also,caculate the speed of the stone when it is in the lowest poition. (g=9.8 m s^(-2) ) .

A small sphere rolls down without slipping from the top of a track in a vertical plane. The track has an elevated section and a horizontal part is 1.0 m above the ground level and the top of the track is 2.4 m above the ground. Find the distance on the ground with respect to the point B (which is vertically ) below the end of the track as shown in figure. Where the sphere lands. During its flight as a projectile does the sphere continue to rotate about its centre of mass? Explain.

A massless string of length 1.2 m, has a breaking strength of 2 kg wt. A stone of mass 0.4 kg, tied to one end of the string, is made to move in a vertical circle, by holding the other end in the hand. Can the particle describe the vertical circle? (Take g = 10 m s^-2 )

A bolt of mass 0.3 kg falls from the ceiling of an elevator moving down with an uniform speed of 7 m s^-1 . It hits the floor of the elevator (length of the elevator = 3 m) and does not rebound. What is the heat produced by the impact ? Would your answer be different if the elevator were stationary ?

A small stone of mass 200 g is tied to one end of a string of length 80 cm . Holding the other end in hand , the stone is whirled into a vertical circle What is the minimum speed that needs to be imparted at the lowest point of the circular path , so that the stone is just able to complete the vertical circle ? what would be the tension at the lowest point of circular path ? (Take g = 10 m//s^(2) ) .

A pair of parallel horizontal conducting rails of negligible resistance shorted at one end is fixed on a table. The distance between the rails is L. A conducting massless rod of resistance R can slide on the rails frictionlessly. The rod is tied to a massless string which passes over a pulley fixed to the edge of the table, A mass m, tied to the other end of the string hanges vertically. A constant magnetic field B exists perpendicular to the table. If the system is released from rest, calculate. the terminal velocity achieved by the rod.
