A horizontal rod rotates about a vertical axis through one end. A ring, which can slide along the rod witgour friction, is initially close to the axis and then slides to the other end of the rod. In this process, which of the following quantities will be conserved? {L = angular momentum, E_(T) = total kinetic energy, E_(R) = rotational kientic energy.]

List any two properties of metals which make them suitable to be used as : (i) Utensils for cooking food. (ii) Wires for electrical connections.

Consider a situation similar ot that of the previous problem except that the ends of the rod slide on a pair of thick metallic rails laid parallel to the wire. At one end the rails are connected by resistor of resistance R. (a) what force is needed ot keep the rod sliding at a constant speed v? (b) in this situation what is the current in the resistance R? (c) Find the rate of heat developed in the resistor. (d) find the power delivered by the external agent exerting the force on the rod.

A disk is fixed at its centre O and rotating with constant angular velocity omega . There is a rod whose one end is connected at A on the disc and the other end is connected with a ring which can freely moce along the fixed vertical smooth rod. At an instant when the rod is making an angle 30^(@) with the vertical the ring is found to have a velocity v in the upward direction. Find omega of the disk. Given that the point A is R//2 distance above point O and length of the rod Ab is l

In a meter-bridge experiment, two resistances P and Q are connected in series in the left gap. When the resistance in the right gap is 50Omega , the balance point is at at the centre of the slide wire. If P and Q are connected in parallel in the left gap, the resistance in the right gap has to be changed to 120Omega so as to obtain the balance point at the same position. find P and Q.

Figure 6.32 shows a meter bridge in the (which is nothing but a particle wheastone bridge), consisting of two resistors X and Y together in parellel with a meter long constantan wire of uniform cross section. with the help of a movable contact d , one can change the ratio of resistance of the two segments of the wire until a sensitive galvanometer G connected across b and D shows no deflection. The null point is found to be at a distance of 33.7 cm . The resistor Y is shunted by a resistance of 12 Omega , and the null point is found to shift by a distance of 18.2 cm . Determine the resistance of X and Y .

Shows two long metal rails placed horizontally and parallel to each other at a separation i. A uniform magnetic field b exists in the vertically downward direction. A wire of mass m can slide on the rails. The rails are connected to a constant current source which drives a current I in the circuirt. The friction coefficient between the rails and the wire is mu . (a) What should be the minimum value of mu which can prevent the wire from sliding on the rails? (b) Describe the motion of the wire if the value of mu is half the value found in the previous part.

A bead of mass m can slide without friction along a vertical ring of radius R. One end of a spring of force constant k=(3mg)/(R ) is connected to the bead and the other end is fixed at the centre of the ring. Initially, the bead is at the point A and due to a small push it starts sliding down the ring. If the bead momentarily loses contact with the ring at the instant when the spring makes an angle 60^(@) with the vertical, then the natural length of the spring is

A light rod AB is fitted with a small sleeve of mass m which can slide smoothly over it. The sleeve is connected to the two ends of the rod using two springs of force constant 2k and k (see fig). The ends of the springs at A and B are fixed and the other ends (connected to sleeve) can move along with the sleeve. The natural length of spring connected to A is l_(0) . Now the rod is rotated with angular velocity w about an axis passing through end A that is perpendicular to the rod. Take (k)/(momega^(2)) = eta and express the change in length of each spring (in equilibrium position of the sleeve relative to the rod) in terms of l_(0) and eta .
