A smooth wedge A is fitted in a chamber hanging from a fixed ceiling near the erth's surface.A block B placed at the top of the wedge takes a time T to side down the length of the wedge. If the block is placed at the top of the wedge and the cable supporting the chamber is broken at the same instant, the block will

A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination theta . The whole system is accelerated horizontally, so that the block does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block (g is acceleration due to gravity) will be

A glass wedge with a small angle of refraction theta is placed at a certain distance from a converging lens with a focal length f ,one surface of the wedge being perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens. A point sources S of light is on the other side of the lens at its focus. The rays reflected from the wedge (not from base) produce, after refraction in the lens , two images of the source displaced with respect to each other by d. Find the refractive index of the wedge glass. [Consider only paraxial rays.]

A block sides down a smooth inclined plane when released from the top, while another falls freely from the same point. Which one of them will strike the ground : (a) earlier (b) with greater speed ?

A block of mss m is placed on a level frictionless table. The block is attached to a horizontally aligned spring fixed with its other end and is vibrating in a horizontal with the pariod T . Suddenly at the instant of time when the spring comes to the position of euilibrium and becomes unstretched the block disconnects form the spring and continues sliding across the frictionless surface away from the until it encounters loop of radius R . What must be the amplitude of vibrations of the block s on the spring in order for the block to complets one loop without falling down?

Two blocks A and B of mass m and 2m respectively are connected by a massless spring of spring constant K . This system lies over a smooth horizontal surface. At t=0 the bolck A has velocity u towards right as shown while the speed of block B is zero, and the length of spring is equal to its natural length at that at that instant. {:(,"Column I",,"Column II"),((A),"The velocity of block A",(P),"can never be zero"),((B),"The velocity of block B",(Q),"may be zero at certain instants of time"),((C),"The kinetic energy of system of two block",(R),"is minimum at maximum compression of spring"),((D),"The potential energy of spring",(S),"is maximum at maximum extension of spring"):}

A wooden block of mass 2 kg rests on a soft horizontal floor. When an iron cylinder of mass 25 kg is placed on top of the block, the floor yields steadily and the block and the cylinder together go down with an acceleration of 0.1 m s^(-2) . What is the action of the block on the floor (a) before and (b) after the floor yields ? Take g = 10 m s^(-2) . Identify the action-reaction pairs in the problem.

A block is released on the slant face of a wedge of equal mass placed on a horizontal floor. The slant face of the wedge makes an angle of 45^(@) with the floor.

Comprehension # 1 If net force on a system in a particular direction is zero (say in horizontal direction) we can apply: Sigmam_(R )x_(R )= Sigmam_(L)x_(L), Sigmam_(R )v_(R )= Sigmam_(L)v_(L) and Sigmam_(R )a_(R ) = Sigmam_(L)a_(L) Here R stands for the masses which are moving towards right and L for the masses towards left, x is displacement, v is veloctiy and a the acceleration (all with respect to ground). A small block of mass m = 1 kg is placed over a wedge of mass M = 4 kg as shown in figure. Mass m is released from rest. All surface are smooth. Origin O is as shown. At the same instant reaction on the wedge from the ground is ........N.
