A man whose mass is m kg jumps vertically into air from a sitting position in which his centre of mass is at a height h_(1) from the ground. When his feet are just about to leave the ground his centre of mass is h_(2) from the ground and finally rises to h_(3) when he is at top of the jump . What is the average upwards force exerted by the ground on him ?

From a circular disc of radius R , a triangular portion is cut (see figure). The distance of the centre of mass of the remainder from the centre of the disc is -

A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass M and radius R is attaached to two identical massless springs of spring constatn k which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance d from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in horizontal plane. the unstretched length of each spring is L. The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass (CM) at a distance L from the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity vecV_0 = vacV_0hati. The coefficinet of friction is mu. The centre of mass of the disk undergoes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency omega equal to -

A short bar magnet of magnetic moment 5.25 xx 10^(-2) JT^(-1) is placed with its axis perpendicular to the earth's field direction. At what distance from the centre of the magnet, the resultant field is inclined at 45^@ with earth's field on (a) its normal bisector and (b) its axis. Magnitude of the earth's fleld at the place is given to be 0.42 G. Ignore the length of the magnet in comparison to the distances involved.

The ends of a long bar are maintained at different temperatures and there is no loss of heat from the sides of the bar due to conduction or radiation. The graph of temperature against distance of the bar when it has attained steady state is shown here. The graph shows ltimg src="https://d10lpgp6xz60nq.cloudfront.net/physics_images/ALN_PHY_R03_E09_009_Q01.png" width="80%"gt (i) the temperature gradient is not uniform. (ii) the bar has uniform cross-sectional area. (iii) the cross-sectional area of the bar increases as the distance from the hot end increases. (iv) the cross-sectional area of the bar decreases as the distance from the hot end increases
