A large drum having radius R is spinning around its axis with angular velocity , as shown in figure. The minimum value of so that a body of mass M remains stuck to the inner wall of the drum, taking the coefficient of friction between the drum surface and mass M as , is : [figure]

  1. 2g R
  2. g2 R
  3. gR
  4. g R

Answer

(4) g R

Solution

The normal reaction of the wall provides the centripetal force:

N = M 2 R

Friction (upward) must balance the weight:

f = Mg N = M 2 R

2 g R

= g R

Answer: (4)

A body of mass 2 kg moving with velocity of vin = 3 i + 4 j m s-1 enters into a constant force field of 6 N directed along positive z-axis. If the body remains in the field for a period of 53 seconds, then velocity of the body when it emerges from the force field is:

  1. 3 i + 4 j + 5 k
  2. 4 i + 3 j + 5 k
  3. 3 i + 4 j - 5 k
  4. 3 i + 4 j + 5 k
