Q41
A ball is spun with angular acceleration α\alpha = 6t2 - 2t where t is in second and α\alpha is in rads-2. At t = 0, the ball has angular velocity of 10 rads-1 and angular position of 4 rad. The most appropriate expression for the angular position of the ball is :
A 32t4t2+10t{3 \over 2}{t^4} - {t^2} + 10t
B t42t33+10t+4{{{t^4}} \over 2} - {{{t^3}} \over 3} + 10t + 4
C 2t43t36+10t+12{{2{t^4}} \over 3} - {{{t^3}} \over 6} + 10t + 12
D 2t4t32+5t+42{t^4} - {{{t^3}} \over 2} + 5t + 4
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
α=dωdt=6t22t\alpha = {{d\omega } \over {dt}} = 6{t^2} - 2t
0ωdω=0t(6t22t)dt\int_0^\omega {d\omega = \int_0^t {(6{t^2} - 2t)dt} }

so

ω=2t3t2+10\omega = 2{t^3} - {t^2} + 10

and

dθdt=2t3t2+10{{d\theta } \over {dt}} = 2{t^3} - {t^2} + 10

so

4θdθ=0t(2t3t2+10)dt\int_4^\theta {d\theta = \int_0^t {(2{t^3} - {t^2} + 10)dt} }
θ=t42t33+10t+4\theta = {{{t^4}} \over 2} - {{{t^3}} \over 3} + 10t + 4
Q42
One end of a massless spring of spring constant k and natural length l0 is fixed while the other end is connected to a small object of mass m lying on a frictionless table. The spring remains horizontal on the table. If the object is made to rotate at an angular velocity ω\omega about an axis passing through fixed end, then the elongation of the spring will be :
A kmω2l0mω2{{k - m{\omega ^2}{l_0}} \over {m{\omega ^2}}}
B mω2l0k+mω2{{m{\omega ^2}{l_0}} \over {k + m{\omega ^2}}}
C mω2l0kmω2{{m{\omega ^2}{l_0}} \over {k - m{\omega ^2}}}
D k+mω2l0mω2{{k + m{\omega ^2}{l_0}} \over {m{\omega ^2}}}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
mω2(l0+x)=kxm{\omega ^2}({l_0} + x) = kx
mω2l0=(kmω2)×x\Rightarrow m{\omega ^2}{l_0} = (k - m{\omega ^2}) \times x
x=mω2l0(kmω2)\Rightarrow x = {{m{\omega ^2}{l_0}} \over {(k - m{\omega ^2})}}
Q43

If two objects each of mass m be attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of ring, the ring will then rotate with an angular velocity (in rads-1).
A M(M+m){M \over {(M + m)}}
B (M+2m)2M{{(M + 2m)} \over {2M}}
C 2M(M+2m){{2M} \over {(M + 2m)}}
D 2(M+2m)M{{2(M + 2m)} \over M}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
I1ω1=I2ω2{I_1}{\omega _1} = {I_2}{\omega _2}
MR2ω1=(MR2+2mR2)ω2M{R^2}{\omega _1} = (M{R^2} + 2m{R^2}){\omega _2}
ω2=(MM+2m)ω1{\omega _2} = \left( {{M \over {M + 2m}}} \right){\omega _1}
ω2=2(MM+2m){\omega _2} = 2\left( {{M \over {M + 2m}}} \right)

A 25{2 \over 5}
B 27{2 \over 7}
C 15{1 \over 5}
D 710{7 \over 10}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
KER=12lw2K{E_R} = {1 \over 2}l{w^2}
=12×25×ω2×(mR2)= {1 \over 2} \times {2 \over 5} \times {\omega ^2} \times (m{R^2})
KEtotal=12×75×mR2×ω2K{E_{total}} = {1 \over 2} \times {7 \over 5} \times m{R^2} \times {\omega ^2}

\therefore

KERKEtotal=27{{K{E_R}} \over {K{E_{total}}}} = {2 \over 7}

A 53\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{3}}
B 45\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{5}}
C 35\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{5}}
D 1415\sqrt{\dfrac{14}{15}}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
a=gsinθ1+K2R2a = {{g\sin \theta } \over {1 + {{{K^2}} \over {{R^2}}}}}
v=2Sgsinθ1+K2R2v = \sqrt {{{2Sg\sin \theta } \over {1 + {{{K^2}} \over {{R^2}}}}}}
vcvss1+Kss2R21+Kc2R2=1+251+12\Rightarrow {{{v_c}} \over {{v_{ss}}}}\sqrt {{{1 + {{K_{ss}^2} \over {{R^2}}}} \over {1 + {{K_c^2} \over {{R^2}}}}}} = \sqrt {{{1 + {2 \over 5}} \over {1 + {1 \over 2}}}}
7532=1415\Rightarrow \sqrt {{{{7 \over 5}} \over {{3 \over 2}}}} = \sqrt {{{14} \over {15}}}
Q46
A thin circular disc of mass M\mathrm{M} and radius R\mathrm{R} is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with angular velocity ω\omega. If another disc of same dimensions but of mass M/2\mathrm{M} / 2 is placed gently on the first disc co-axially, then the new angular velocity of the system is :
A 45ω\dfrac{4}{5} \omega
B 54ω\dfrac{5}{4} \omega
C 32ω\dfrac{3}{2} \omega
D 23ω\dfrac{2}{3} \omega
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

To determine the new angular velocity of the system, we use the principle of conservation of angular momentum.

When no external torque acts on a system, its angular momentum remains constant.

Let's denote the initial angular momentum and the final angular momentum, respectively, as

LinitialL_{\text{initial}}

and

LfinalL_{\text{final}}

. The initial angular momentum of the system is given by:

Linitial=IinitialωL_{\text{initial}} = I_{\text{initial}} \cdot \omega

Here,

IinitialI_{\text{initial}}

is the moment of inertia of the first disc. For a thin circular disc, the moment of inertia about its center is:

Iinitial=12MR2I_{\text{initial}} = \frac{1}{2} M R^2

Thus,

Linitial=(12MR2)ωL_{\text{initial}} = \left( \frac{1}{2} M R^2 \right) \omega

When the second disc is placed gently on the first disc, the two discs rotate together with a common angular velocity

ω\omega'

. The moment of inertia of the second disc is:

Isecond=12(M2)R2=14MR2I_{\text{second}} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{M}{2} \right) R^2 = \frac{1}{4} M R^2

The combined moment of inertia of the system after placing the second disc is:

Ifinal=Iinitial+Isecond=12MR2+14MR2=34MR2I_{\text{final}} = I_{\text{initial}} + I_{\text{second}} = \frac{1}{2} M R^2 + \frac{1}{4} M R^2 = \frac{3}{4} M R^2

Thus, the final angular momentum of the system is:

Lfinal=Ifinalω=(34MR2)ωL_{\text{final}} = I_{\text{final}} \cdot \omega' = \left( \frac{3}{4} M R^2 \right) \omega'

By the conservation of angular momentum:

Linitial=LfinalL_{\text{initial}} = L_{\text{final}}

This simplifies to:

(12MR2)ω=(34MR2)ω\left( \frac{1}{2} M R^2 \right) \omega = \left( \frac{3}{4} M R^2 \right) \omega'

Solving for

ω\omega'

:

ω=(12MR2)ω(34MR2)=ω32=23ω\omega' = \frac{\left( \frac{1}{2} M R^2 \right) \omega}{\left( \frac{3}{4} M R^2 \right)} = \frac{\omega}{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{2}{3} \omega

So, the new angular velocity of the system is:

ω=23ω\omega' = \frac{2}{3} \omega

Thus, the correct answer is: Option D:

23ω\frac{2}{3} \omega

Q48
A solid sphere of mass ' mm ' and radius ' rr ' is allowed to roll without slipping from the highest point of an inclined plane of length ' LL ' and makes an angle 3030^{\circ} with the horizontal. The speed of the particle at the bottom of the plane is v1v_1. If the angle of inclination is increased to 4545^{\circ} while keeping LL constant. Then the new speed of the sphere at the bottom of the plane is v2v_2. The ratio v12:v22v_1^2: v_2^2 is
A 1:31: 3
B 1:21: 2
C 1:21: \sqrt{2}
D 1:31: \sqrt{3}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Let's analyze the problem step-by-step.

Energy conservation: When the sphere rolls without slipping, its gravitational potential energy converts into both translational and rotational kinetic energy.

The energy conservation equation is given by:

mgLsinθ=12mv2+12Iω2mgL\sin\theta = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

where: LsinθL\sin\theta is the vertical height, II is the moment of inertia, and ω\omega is the angular speed.

Moment of Inertia and Rolling Condition: For a solid sphere, the moment of inertia about its center is:

I=25mr2I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2

Since the sphere rolls without slipping, the linear speed vv and the angular speed ω\omega are related by:

v=rωω=vrv = r\omega \quad \Rightarrow \quad \omega = \frac{v}{r}

Total Kinetic Energy: Substituting the rolling condition into the rotational kinetic energy gives: K=12mv2+12(25mr2)(vr)2=12mv2+12(25mr2)v2r2=12mv2+15mv2=710mv2 \begin{aligned} K &= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\right) \left(\dfrac{v}{r}\right)^2 \\ &= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\right) \dfrac{v^2}{r^2} \\ &= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + \dfrac{1}{5}mv^2 \\ &= \dfrac{7}{10}mv^2 \end{aligned} Finding v2v^2 in Terms of LL and sinθ\sin\theta: Equate the initial potential energy to the final kinetic energy:

mgLsinθ=710mv2mgL\sin\theta = \frac{7}{10}mv^2

Solving for v2v^2:

v2=107gLsinθv^2 = \frac{10}{7}gL\sin\theta

Apply to the Two Cases: For θ=30\theta = 30^\circ, since sin(30)=12\sin(30^\circ) = \dfrac{1}{2}:

v12=107gL(12)=57gLv_1^2 = \frac{10}{7}gL\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{5}{7}gL

For θ=45\theta = 45^\circ, since sin(45)=12\sin(45^\circ) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}:

v22=107gL(12)v_2^2 = \frac{10}{7}gL\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)

Calculate the Ratio v12v22\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}: v12v22=(57gL)(107gL12)=5102=22 \begin{aligned} \dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2} &= \dfrac{\left(\dfrac{5}{7}gL\right)}{\left(\dfrac{10}{7}gL\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)} \\ &= \dfrac{5}{10}\sqrt{2} \\ &= \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \end{aligned} Expressing this ratio as v12:v22v_1^2 : v_2^2, we have:

v12:v22=1:2v_1^2 : v_2^2 = 1 : \sqrt{2}

Conclusion: According to the options given, the correct answer is: Option C: 1:21:\sqrt{2}.

Q49
A circular disk of radius R meter and mass M kg is rotating around the axis perpendicular to the disk. An external torque is applied to the disk such that θ(t)=5t28t\theta(t)=5 t^2-8 t, where θ(t)\theta(t) is the angular position of the rotating disc as a function of time tt. How much power is delivered by the applied torque, when t=2 st=2 \mathrm{~s} ?
A 60MR260 \mathrm{MR}^2
B 72MR272 \mathrm{MR}^2
C 8MR28 \mathrm{MR}^2
D 108MR2108 \mathrm{MR}^2
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Moment of Inertia and Angular Motion For a solid circular disk, the moment of inertia is given by

I=12MR2.I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2.

The angular position is defined as

θ(t)=5t28t.\theta(t) = 5t^2 - 8t.

Angular Velocity and Acceleration Differentiate with respect to time to obtain the angular velocity:

ω(t)=dθdt=10t8.\omega(t) = \frac{d\theta}{dt} = 10t - 8.

Differentiating again, the angular acceleration is:

α(t)=dωdt=10.\alpha(t) = \frac{d\omega}{dt} = 10.

At time

t=2st = 2 \, \text{s}

: Angular velocity:

ω(2)=10(2)8=12rad/s.\omega(2) = 10(2) - 8 = 12 \, \text{rad/s}.

Angular acceleration:

α(2)=10rad/s2.\alpha(2) = 10 \, \text{rad/s}^2.

Torque Calculation The torque applied by the external force is related to the moment of inertia and angular acceleration:

τ=Iα=12MR2×10=5MR2.\tau = I \alpha = \frac{1}{2}MR^2 \times 10 = 5MR^2.

Power Delivered Power delivered by a torque is given by:

P=τω.P = \tau \omega.

At

t=2st = 2 \, \text{s}

, substitute the values:

P=5MR2×12=60MR2.P = 5MR^2 \times 12 = 60MR^2.

Thus, the power delivered by the applied torque at

t=2st = 2 \, \text{s}

is:

60MR2.\boxed{60MR^2}.
