Consider a gravity free hall in which a tray of mas M, carrying a cubical block of icce of mas m and edge L, is at rest in the middle.. If the ice melts, by what distnce does the centre of mass of the tray plus the ice system descend?

Text Solution

As there is gravity free after the ice melts, It would tend toacquire a phereicla shape. But, there is no exterN/Al force acting on the system. So, the centre of mass of the system

A smooth ring A of mass m can slide on a fixed horizontal rod. A string tied to the ring passes over a fixed pulley B and carries a block C of ma M(=2m) as shown in figure. At an instant the string between the ring and the pulley makes an angle theta with the rod. a. Show that, if the ring slides with a pspeed v, the blockdescends with speed v cos theta , b. With whast acceleration will the ring starts moving if the system is released from rest with theta= 30^0

A wheel of moment of inertia I and rdius r is free to rotate about its centre as shown in figure. A string is wrapped over its rim and a block of mass m is attached to the free end of the string. The system is released from rest. Find the speed of the block as it descends through a height h.

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum if the external force acting on the system is zero, the linear momentum of the system will remain conserved. It means if the centre of mass of a system is initially at rest, it will remain at rest in the absence of external force, that is, the displacement of centre of mass will be zero. A plank of mass M is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. light identical springs, each of stiffness K , are rigidly connected to struts at the end of the plank as shown in Fig. When the springs are in their unextended position, the distance between their free ends is 3l . A block of mass m is placed on the plank and pressed against one of the springs so that it is compressed to l . To keep the block at rest it is connected to the strut means of a light string. Initially, the system is at rest, Now the string is burnt. The maximum kinetic energy of the block m is
