A heavy particle of mass m falls freely ...

A heavy particle of mass m falls freely near the earth's surface.Whati si the torque acting on this particle about a point 50 cm east to the lie of motiin? Does this a point 50 cm east to the line of motion? Does this toruque produce any angular accelertio in the particle?

A massive horizontal platform is moving horizontally with a constant acceleration of 10 m//s^(2) as shown in the figure. A particlem P of mass m=1 kg is kept at rest on a smooth surface as shown in the figure. The particle is hinged at O with the help of a massless rod OP of length 0.9 m. Hinge O is fixed on the platform and the rod can freely rotate about O. Now the particle P is imparted a velocity in the opposite direction of the platform's acceleration such that it is just able to complete the circular motion about point O. Then the maximum tension (in N) appearing in the rod during the motion is 10 n. Find the value of n
