Q.1 A metal disc of radius R can rotate about the vertical axis passing through its centre.
The top surface of the disc is uniformly coered with dust particles. The disc is rotated with
gradually increasing speed. At what value of the angular speed () of the disc the 75% of the
top surface will become dust free. Assume that the coefficient of friction between the dust
particles and the metal disc is = 0.5. Assume no interaction amongst the dust particles.
Q.2 A metallic hemisphere is having dust on its surface. The sphere is rotated about a
vertical axis passing through its centre at angular speed = 10 rad s–1. Now the dust is
visible only on top 20% area of the curved hemispherical surface. Radius of the
hemisphere is R = 0.1 m. Find the coefficient of friction between the dust particle and the
hemisphere (g = 10 ms–2).
Q.3 A smooth cylinder is fixed with its axis horizontal. Radius of the cylinder is R. A uniform
rope (ACB) of linear mass density (kg/m) is exactly of length R and is held in semicircular
shape in vertical plane around the cylinder as shown in fig. Two massless strings are connected
at the two ends of the rope and are the pulled up vertical with force T 0 to keep the rope in
contact with the cylinder.

at any point.
b) If T0 is decreased slightly below the minimum value calculated in (a), where will
the rope lose contact with the cylinder.
Q.5 In the arrangement shown in the fig. string, springs and the pulley are mass less. Both the springs
have a force constant of k and the mass of block B resting on the table is M. Ball A is released from rest when
both the springs are in natural length and just taut. Find the minimum value of mass of A so that block B
leaves contact with the table at some stage.

Q.7 A weightless rod of length l with a small load of mass m at one of its end is held
vertical with its lower end hinged on a horizontal surface. The load touches a wedge of
mass M in this position. A slight jerk towards right sets the system in motion (see fig.),

Q.9 A car of mass M is free to move on a frictionless horizontal surface. A gun fires
bullets on the car. The bullets leave the stationary gun with speed u and mass rate b kg

Q.14 A uniform cube of mass M and side length a is placed at rest at
the edge of a table. With half of the cube overhanging from the
table, the cube begins to roll off the edge. There is sufficient

Comprehension Type :
A conveyor belt collects sand and transport it to a height h as shown in the fig. The sand falls on the belt with negligible
speed at constant rate (mass per unit time). Friction between the belt and the sand particle is so high that the sand particles
stop sliding almost instantaneously after they hit the belt. Acceleration due to gravity is g.
Q.21 What should speed of the belt be for the least possible driving force on the belt applied by the motor?
