The rain drop of mass 1 g, starts with zero velocity from a height of 1 km. It hits the ground with a speed of 5 m/s. The work done by the unknown resistive force is J. (take g = 10 m/s2)

  1. -8.75
  2. -8.35
  3. -9.55
  4. -9.98

Answer

(4) -9.98

Solution

Work–energy theorem from the start (rest) to the ground:

Wg+Wr= 12mv2-0

m=1 g=10-3 kg, h=1 km =1000 m

Wg=mgh=10-3 10 1000=10 J

12mv2= 12 10-3 (5)2=0.0125 J

∴ Wr=0.0125-10=-9.9875 J -9.98 J

(Negative, ∵ the resistive force opposes the motion.)

A small bob A of mass m is attached to a massless rigid rod of length 1 m pivoted at point P and kept at an angle of 60 with vertical as shown in figure. At distance of 1 m below point P, an identical bob B is kept at rest on a smooth horizontal surface that extends to a circular track of radius R as shown in figure. If bob B just manages to complete the circular path of radius R upto a point Q after being hit elastically by bob A, then radius R is m. [figure]
