A fixed wedge ABC is in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side l . Initially, a chain of length 2l and mass m rests on the wedge as shown. The chain is slowly being pulled down by the application of a force F as shown. Work done by gravity till the time, the chain leaves thw wedge will be:

A constant horizontal force (F) is applied at the vertex A of an equilateral triangular wedge ABC of mass M and side length AB=BC=CA= l_(1) placed on a rough horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Even after the application of force F the wedge remains stationary. Calculate the torque of normal reaction acting between the wedge and the floor about the vertex B.

A block of mass m is at rest on wedge as shown in figure. Let N be the normal reaction between two and f the force of friction, then choose the wrong option.

A uniform chain of length l and mass m is placed on a smooth table with one-fourth of its length hanging over the edge. The work that has to be done to pull the whole chain back onto the table is :

A system consists three particles, each of mass M lying on the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 2l . If the length of each side of the triangle is decreased to l , without the gain in kinetic energy of the particles, the work done by an external agent is given by

A man places a chain (of mass m and length l ) on a table slowly. Initially, the lower end of the chain just touches the table. The main brings down the chain by length l//2 . Work done by the man in this process is

Two ends A and B of a smooth chain of mass m and length l are situated as shown in figure. If an external agent pulls A till it comes to same level of B, work done by external agent is

Find moment of inertia of a thin sheet of mass M in the shape of an equilateral triangle about an axis as shown in figure. The length of each side is L

A rope of length l and mass 'm' is connected to a chain of length l and mass 2 m and hung vertically as shown. What is the change in graviational potential energy if the system is inverted and hung from same point. .

A chain of uniform mass m and length L is held on a frictionless table in such a way that its (1)/(n) th part is hanging below the edge of table. The work done to pull the hanging part of chain is :-
