3. A particle P is sliding down a frictionless hemispherical bowl. It passes A B
the point A at t = 0. At this instant of time, the horizontal component P
of its velocity is v. A bead Q of the same mass as P is ejected from
A at t = 0 along the horizontal string AB, with the speed v. Friction C
between the bead and the string may be neglected. Let t P and the
t Q be the respectively time take by P and respective time taken by
P and Q to reach the point B. Then
(a) t P t Q (b) t P t Q
t P length of are ACB
(c) t P t Q (d)
t Q length of chord AB .
Ans. (a)
4. A long horizontal rod has a bead which can slide along its length and initially placed at a
distance L from one end A of the rod. The rod is set in angular motion about A with constant
angular acceleration . If the coefficient of friction between the rod and the bead is , and
gravity is neglected, then the time after which the bead starts slipping is
(a) / (b) /
5. An iron nail is dropped from a height h from the level of a sand bed. If it penetrates through
a distance x in the sand before coming to rest, the average force exerted by the sand on the
nail is,
h x
(a) mg 1 (b) mg 1
x h
h x
(c) mg 1 (d) mg 1 .
x h
Ans. (a) R
y
Solution: The nail hits the sand with a speed V0 after falling a height h
V02 2gh V0 2gh ...(i) x
mg
The nail stops after sometime say, t penetrating through a distance, x into the sand. Since its
velocity decreases gradually the sand exerts a retarding upward force, R(say). The net
force acting on the nail is given as
F y = R - mg = ma
R = m(g + a) ...(ii)
where a = deceleration of the nail. Since the nail pentrates a distance x
0 - V02 = -2ax ...(iii)
Putting V0 from (i) and ‘a’ from (ii) in (iii), we obtain
R mg mg ( h x )
2gh = 2 x R =

R = mg x 1 m

7. In the figure the block of mass M is at rest on the floor. The acceleration with
which should a body of mass m climb along the rope of negligible mass so as to
lift the block from the floor is,
m
M M
(a) 1g (b) 1g M
m m
M M
(c) g (d) g.
m m
Ans. (b)
M
That means, if a > 1g , the
m
block M can leave floor
Solution: For any part of string dT = - df where df is applied force along length on that part. Thus
TP - TQ = 10 N.
10. Two blocks each of mass m are connected through a string and a light
spring as shown in the figure. Blocks are at rest. String is burnt at point A.
The acceleration of upper block just after burning is m
(a) g downward (b) g upward K A
(c) 0 (d) data insufficient . m
Ans. (b)
Solution: Just after burning, on upper block upward Tension remains unchanged beacuse upper ten-
sion equals spring forces which depends on extension of spring. Just after burning extension
remains unchanged while lower tension reduces to zero.
