A uniform bar of length 12 cm and mass 20 m lies on a smooth horizontal table. Two point masses m and 2m are moving in opposite directions with same speed of v and in the same plane as the bar, as shown in figure. These masses strike the bar simultaneously and get stuck to it. After collision the entire system is rotating with angular frequency . The ratio of v and is : [figure]

  4. 66

Answer

(1) 33

Solution

Take the centre O of the bar as origin (distances in cm).

2m strikes at 2 cm on one side of O and m at 4 cm on the other side, moving in opposite directions.

Centre of mass after sticking: xcm = 20m(0) + 2m(-2) + m(4)23m = 0, i.e. at O.

No external horizontal force or torque acts, so angular momentum about O is conserved. Both masses turn the bar in the same sense:

Li = 2m v 2 + m v 4 = 8mv

IO = 20m(12)212 + 2m(2)2 + m(4)2

= 240m + 8m + 16m = 264m

8mv = 264m

v = 33 (cm)

Answer: (1)

Two masses m and 2m are connected by a light string going over a pulley (disc) of mass 30m with radius r = 0.1 m. The pulley is mounted in a vertical plane and it is free to rotate about its axis. The 2m mass is released from rest and its speed when it has descended through a height of 3.6 m is m/s. (Assume string does not slip and g = 10 m/s2)

The pulley shown in figure is made using a thin rim and two rods of length equal to diameter of the rim. The rim and each rod have a mass of M. Two blocks of mass of M and m are attached to two ends of a light string passing over the pulley, which is hinged to rotate freely in vertical plane about its center. The magnitude of the acceleration experienced by the blocks is (assume no slipping of string on pulley). [figure]
