A weightless inextensible rope rest on a stationary wedge forming an angle `alpha` with the horizontal. One end of the rope is fixed on the wall at point A. A small load is attached to the rope at point B. The wedge starts moving to the right with a constant accelration a. The acceleration of the load is given by:

A

a

B

`2a sin alpha`

C

`2a "sin" alpha/2`

D

`gsin alpha`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Net acceleration of load
`=2a cos ((pi-alpha)/2)=2a sin (alpha/2)`

A homogeneous flexible rope rests on a wedge whose side edges make angles alpha and beta with the horizontal. The central part of the rope lies on the upper rib C of the wedge. With what acceleration should the wedge be pulled to the left along the horizontal plane in order to prevent the displacement of the rope with respect to the wedge? [Consider all surfaces to be smooth]

A monkey of mass m clings a rope to a slung over a fixed pulley .The opposite end of the rope is tried to a weight of mass M tying on a horizontal table is mu Find the acceleration of weight .The monkey move downward with respect to the rope with an acceleration b. The acceleration of weight is

A vertical frictionless semicircular track of radius 1m fixed on the edge og a movable trolley (figure). Initially, the system is rest and a mass m is kept at the top of the track. The trolly starts moving to the right with a uniform horizontal acceleration a=2g//9 . The mass slides down the track, eventually losing contact with it and dropping to the floor 1.3m below the trolly. This 1.3m is from the point where mass loses contact. (g=10m//s^(2)) (a) Calculate the angle theta at which it loses contact with the trolly and (b) the time taken by the mass to drop on the floor, after losing contact.

A heavy cart is pulled by a constant force F along a horizontal track with the help of a rope that passes over a fixed pulley, as shown in the figure. Assume the tension in the rope and the frictional forces on the cart remain constant and consider motion of the cart until it reaches vertically below the pulley. As the cart moves to the right, its acceleration

A sphere of mass M is held at rest on a horizontal floor. One end of a light string is fixed at a point that is vertically above the centre of the sphere. The other end of the string is connected to a small particle of mass m that rest one the sphere. The string makes an angle alpha = 30^(@) with the vertical. Then the acceleration of the spherer immediately after it is released is : (There is no frication anywhere and string is tangene to the sphere) :

A ball is fired from point P , with an initial speed of 50 m s^-1 at an angle of 53^@ , with the horizontal. At the same time, a long wall AB at 200 m from point P starts moving toward P with a constant speed of 10 m s^-1 . Find (a) the time when the ball collides with wall AB . (b) the coordinate of point C , where the ball xollides, taking point P as origin. .

A ball of mass 1kg is suspended by an inextensible string 1m long attached to a point O of a smooth horizontal bar resting on fixed smooth supports A and B. The ball is released from rest from the position when the string makes an angle 30^@ with the vertical. The mass of the bar is 4kg . The displacement of bar when ball reaches the other extreme position (in m) is

A block of mass m can slide freely in a slot made in a bigger of mass M as shown in fig. There is no friction anywhere in the system. The block m is connected to one end of a string whose other end is fixed at point P. system is released from rest when the string at P makes an angle theta with horizontal. Find the acceleration of m and M after release.
