Consider one of the blocks. If the frequencey of revolution is f, the angular velocity is `omega=2pif`. The acceleration towards the centre is `v^2/l=omega^2l=4pi^2f^2l`. The only horizontal force on the blck is the tension of the rod. At the point of breaking this foce is `T_0`. So from Newton's second law
`T_0=M.4pi^2f^2l`
or `f=1/(2pi) [T_0/(Ml)]^(1/2)`

Two identical small balls each of mass m are rigidly affixed at the ends of light rigid rod of length 1.5 m and the assmebly is placed symmetrically on an elevated protrusion of width l as shown in the figure. The rod-ball assmebly is titled by a small angle theta in the vertical plane as shown in the figure and released. Estimate time-period (in seconds) of the oscillation of the rod-ball assembly assuming collisions of the rod with corners of the protrusion to be perfectly elastic and the rod does not slide on the corners. Assume theta=gl (numerically in radians), where g is the acceleration of free fall.

Internal micrometer is a measuring intrument used to measure internal diameter (ID) of a large cylinder bore with high accuracy. Construction is shown in figure. There is one fixed rod B (to the right in figure) and one moved rod A (to the left in figure). It is based on the particle of advancement of a screw when it is rotated in a nut with internal threads. Main scale reading can be directly seen on the hub which is fixed with respect to rod B. When the cap is rotated rod A moves in or cut depending on direction of rotation. The circular scale reading is seen by checking which division of circular scale coincide with the references line This is to be multiplied by LC to get circular scale reading. Least count = value of 1 circular scale division = ("pitch")/("number of division on circular scale") Length of rod A is chosen to match the ID(PQ) to be measured. Zero error is checked by taking reading between standard blocks fixed at normal value of ID to be measured. Zero error is positive if cap end is one the right of the main scale and negative it is on the left side. In an internal micrometer, main scale division is of 0.5 mm and there are 50 divisions in circular scale. The least count of the instrument is-

Two blocks of mass m_(1)=10kg and m_(2)=5kg connected to each other by a massless inextensible string of length 0.3m are placed along a diameter of the turntable. The coefficient of friction between the table and m_(1) is 0.5 while there is no friction between m_(2) and the table. the table is rotating with an angular velocity of 10rad//s . about a vertical axis passing through its center O . the masses are placed along the diameter of the table on either side of the center O such that the mass m_(1) is at a distance of 0.124m from O . the masses are observed to be at a rest with respect to an observed on the tuntable (g=9.8m//s^(2)) .

(c ) How should the masses be placed with the string remaining taut so that there is no friction on m_(1) .

A frame of reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frame of reference is called a non-inertial frame of reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity omega is an example of non=inertial frame of reference. The relationship between the force vecF_(rot) experienced by a particle of mass m moving on the rotating disc and the force vecF_(in) experienced by the particle in an inertial frame of reference is vecF_(rot)=vecF_(i n)+2m(vecv_(rot)xxvec omega)+m(vec omegaxx vec r)xxvec omega . where vecv_(rot) is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and vecr is the position vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc. Now consider a smooth slot along a diameter fo a disc of radius R rotating counter-clockwise with a constant angular speed omega about its vertical axis through its center. We assign a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the disc, the x-axis along the slot, the y-axis perpendicular to the slot and the z-axis along the rotation axis (vecomega=omegahatk) . A small block of mass m is gently placed in the slot at vecr(R//2)hati at t=0 and is constrained to move only along the slot. The distance r of the block at time is
