CBSEENPH11026438

A mass M is tied to the top of two identical poles of height H using massless strings of equal length. The mass is at height h above the ground at equilibrium. If the distance between poles is L the tension in each string will be

  • Mg L22 +  H - h 22 H - h

  • Mg L2 + H22 H - h

  • Mg L2 + H22 H

  • Mg h2 + L22 L

Solution

A.

Mg L22 +  H - h 22 H - h

At equilibrium 

          Mg = 2 T sinθ    

     

                T = M g2 sinθ                                  .......(i)

Here,       sinθ = H - hL22 + H - h2

From equaton (i)

               T = Mg L2 + H - h 22 H - h

  • Elevator is going up with constant speed.

  • Elevator is moving down with constant speed.

  • Elevator is accelerating up with g.

Solution

D.

Elevator is accelerating down with g.

Elevator is accelerating down with g.

The displacement of a body is given to be proportional to the cube of time elapsed. The magnitude of the acceleration of the body is proportional to

  • t

  • t

  • t2

  • t3/2

Solution

B.

t

As given the displacement of a body is given to be proportional to the cube of time elapsed. 

              s  ∝ t3

                s = k t3

velocity:-  Velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to time. 

             v = dsdt

                 = d  k t3 dt

           v = 3 kt2

 Acceleration:- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

             α = dvdt

                 = ddt 3 k t2 

              α  = 6 kt

∴              α  t

A body is moved in straight line by machine with constant power. The distance travelled by it in time duration t is proportional to

  • t3/2

  • t1/2

  • t2

  • t

Solution

A.

t3/2

      P = constant

       Wt = P

     ΔW = P Δt

By using work-energy theorem

    12 mv2 = Pt

     v22Pm t1/2 dt

Integrating both sides

    0xdx = 2Pm 0tt1/2 dt

         x = 2Pm 23 t3/2

∴      x  ∝  t3/2

     displacement ∝ (time)3/2

Question

Three bodies, a ring, a solid cylinder and a solid sphere roll down the same inclined plane without slipping. They start from rest. The radii of the bodies are identical. Which of the bodies reaches the ground with maximum velocity?

  • Ring

  • Solid cylinder

  • Solid sphere

  • All reach the ground with same velocity

Solution

C.

Solid sphere

          

The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved if the forces doing work on it. 

Law of conservation of mechanical energy: the total amount of mechanical energy, in a closed system in the absence of dissipative forces ( eg. friction, air resistance), remains constant. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy or vice versa, but energy cannot disappear. 

According to conservation of mechanical energy 

       mgh = 12 m v2 1 + k2R2

⇒       v22 gh1 + k2R2

It is independent of the mass of the rolling body.

For a ring

          k2 = R2

          vring2 gh1 + 1

For solid cylinder

        k22 gh1 + 1

        k2g h

For solid cylinder

            k2R22

     vcylinder2 gh1 + 12

                 = g h

For a solid sphere

      vsphere2 gh1 + 25

        vsphere10 gh7

Among the given three bodies the solid sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity at the bottom of the inclined plane.
