Let θ be the angle made by the radius vector joining the bead and the centre of the wire with the downward direction. Let, N be the normal reaction.

mg = N cos?θ …….(1)

mr ω2 = N sin?θ ……(2)

m(R sin?θ ) ω2 = N sin?θ

Hence N = m(R) ω2

Substituting the value on N in eqn (1)

mg = mR ω2cos?θ

or cos?θ = g/ R ω2 ………(3)

As cos?θ  1, the bead will remain at the lowermost point

g/ R ω2 1orωg/R

For ω = 2gR,equation3 becomes

cos?θ = g/ R ω2

cos?θ =(g/R)(R/2g) = ½

θ=60°

Mass of the man, m = 70 kg

Radius of the drum, r = 3 m

Coefficient of friction between the wall and his clothing,  μ = 0.15

Number of revs of hollow cylindrical drum = 200 rev/min = 200/60 rev/s = 3.33 rev/s

The centripetal force required is provided by the normal N of the wall on the man

N = m v2/R = m ω2 R

When the floor revolves, the man sticks to the wall of the drum. Hence, the weight of the man (mg) acting downwards is balanced by the frictional force acting vertically upwards.

The man will not fall, if

mg μN

mg μ (mω2R )

ω2g/Rμ

g/Rμ = 10/ (3 * 0.15)

ω=4.71rad/s

When the motorcyclist is at the uppermost point of the death well, the normal reaction R on the motorcyclist by the ceiling of the chamber acts downwards. His weight mg also acts downwards. The outward centrifugal force acting on the motorcyclist is balanced by two forces.

R + mg = m v2/r , where v is the velocity and m is the combined mass of the motorcycle and motorcyclist

Because of the balance between the forces, the motorcyclist does not fall.

The minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop is given by R = 0 in the above equation.

So mg = m v2/r or v = gr = 10*25 = 15.8 m/s

Speed of revolution of the disc, n = 3313 rev/min = 100/3 rpm = 100/ (3 *60)=0.56rps

Angular acceleration ω = 2 πn = 2 *227*0.56 = 3.492 rad/s

The coins revolve with the disc. The centripetal force is provided by the frictional force mv2/rμmg …. (1)

As v = r ω , the above equation becomes mr ω2/rμmg

μg/ω2

  (0.15 *10)/3.4922 = 12 cm

For coin A, r = 4 cm

The condition (r  12 ) is satisfied for the coin placed at r = 4 cm, so coin A will revolve with the disc.

The condition (r  12 ) is not satisfied for the coin placed at r = 14 cm, so coin B will not revolve with the disc.

Force on the box, F = MA = 40 * 2 N = 80 N

Frictional force, Ff = ? mg = 0.15 *40*10= 60 N

Net force = F – Ff = 80 – 60 = 20 N

From the equation F = ma, we get the backward acceleration produced in the box

a = 20/40 = 0.5 m/s2

From the equation s = ut + 12at2 , to travel s = 5 m by the box to fall off from the truck, we get

5 = 0 *t + 12 * 0.5 *t2

5 = 0.25 t2 , t = 4.47 s

The travel of truck during t = 4.47 s is

= 0 *t + 12 * 0.5 *t2 = 0.5 *2*4.472 = 19.98 m

Mass of the block = 15 kg

Coefficient of static friction between the block and the trolley  μ = 0.18

Acceleration of the trolley = 0.5 m/s2

(a) Force experienced by block, F = MA = 15 * 0.5 = 7.5 N. This fore acts in the direction of motion of the trolley

Force of friction, Ff = μmg = 0.18 *15*10 N = 27 N

Force experienced by the block is less than the friction, hence for a stationary observer on the ground, the block will be stationary

(b) When an observer moves with the trolley, the trolley will appear to be at rest

Mass of the body A,  mA = 5 kg

Mass of the body B,  mB = 10 kg

Applied force = 200 N

Coefficient of friction between the bodies and the table, μs = 0.15

(a) The frictional force is given by the relation

fs = μ  ( mA + mB )g = 0.15 * (5+10)= 22.5 N. towards left

Hence, the force on the partition = 200 – 22.5 N = 177.5 N, acting rightwards

According to Newton's 3rd law, the reaction of the partition will be 177.5 N, acting towards left

 

(b) Force of friction on mass A is given by

Fa = μ mAg = 0.15 *5*10= 7.5 N, acting leftward

The net force exerted by mass A on mass B = 200 -7.5 N =

Mass of the monkey = 40 kg

Maximum tension of the rope Tmax = 600 N

(a) When the monkey climbs up with an acceleration of 6m / s2

Tension in the rope, T – mg = ma

T = m (g+a) = 40 (10+6)= 640 N

Since T > Tmax, the rope will break

 

(b) When the monkey climbs down with an acceleration of 4m/s2

Tension in the rope T is given by mg – T = ma

T = m (g-a) = 40 (10-4) N = 240 N

Since T < T max, the rope will not break

 

(c) Climbs up with an uniform speed of 5 m/s

In this case, the acceleration = 0

The tension in the rope is given by

T –mg = ma

T = mg = 40 *10=400N

Since T < Tmax, the rope will not break

 

(d) When the monkey falls down freely under gravity

The tension in the rope is given by the equat

Mass of the block = 25 kg

Mass of the man = 50 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2

Weight of the block = 250 N

Weight of the man = 500 N

In the 1st case, the man lifts the block directly, applying an upward force, same as the block = 250 N

Due to Newton's 3rd law of motion, the downward reaction of the man on the floor = 500 N + 250 N = 750 N

In the 2nd case, the man applies a downward force of 25 kg wt. According to Newton's 3rd law, the action on the floor by the man 500N-250N = 250N

The man should adopt the second case
