(a)

The moment of Inertia of a sphere about its diameter = 2MR 2/5

According to the theorem of parallel axis, the moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about a parallel axis passing through its centre of mass and the product of its mass and square of the distance between two parallel axes

Hence the moment of inertia about a tangent of the sphere = 2MR 2/5 + MR2 = 7MR 2/5

 

(b)

The moment of inertia of a disc about its diameter = MR 2/4

According to the theorem of perpendicular axis, the moment of inertia of a planar body about an axis perpendicular to its plane is equal to t

Mass of the car, m = 1800 kg

Distance between the front and rear axles, d = 1.8 m

Distance between C.G. and the front axle = 1.05 m

Let Rf and Rb be the force exerted from ground at front and rear axles respectively.

Rf + Rb = mg = 1800 x 9.8 N = 17640 N ……. (i)

For rotational equilibrium around C.G. we have Rf x 1.05 = Rb x (1.8 – 1.05)

Rf x 1.05 = Rb x 0.75

Rf/Rb = 0.75 / 1.05

Rf = 0.71 Rb ……. (ii)

From equation (i), we get

0.71 Rb + Rb = 17640

Rb = 10316 N

Rf = 7324 N

Therefore, force exerted on each front wheel = Rf/2 =7324/2 = 3662 N

Force exerted on each rear wheel, Rb/2 = 10316 / 2= 5158 N

A free body diagram needs to be drawn.

 

The length of the bar, l = 2 m

T1 and T2

At translational equilibrium, we have Lq? =LR?  = T1

(T1 / T2) = ( T2 / T1sin? 36.9° = 4/3

T1 = (4/3)T2

For rotational equilibrium, on taking the torque about the centre of gravity, we have

T1 T2sin? 53.1° x d = T2 sin? 53.1°  (2-d)

T1 x 0.8d = T2 x 0.6 (2-d)

(4/3)T2 x 0.8d = T2 x 0.6 (2-d)

(4/3) x 0.8d = 0.6 (2-d)

1.07d = 1.2 – 0.6d

d = 0.72

So the c.g. of the given bar lies at 0.72 m from its left end.

Let at certain instant two particles be at points P and Q, as shown in the figure.

Angular momentum of the system about point P

L p ? = mv x 0 + mv x d = mvd ……. (i)

Angular momentum of the system about point Q

L q ? = mv x d + mv x 0 = mvd ……. (ii)

Consider a point R, which is at a distance y from point Q such that QR = y

PR = d – y

Angular momentum of the system about point R

L R ?  = mv x (d – y) + mv x y = mvd – mvy + mvy = mvd ……. (iii)

Comparing equations (i), (ii) and (iii) we get

Lp?  = Lq? = L R ? …… (iv)

Let c?  = b?  ,  a?  = a?  ,  OA?  = b?

Let OB?  be a unit vector perpendicular to both b and c. Hence c?  and a have the same direction

Now OC?  = bc n?  n?

= bc b? *c?  sin? θ = bc n?

Now sin? 90° )= a. (bc n?  ) = abccos n?  ? = abccos0° = abc = Volume of the parallelepiped

Let AB is equal to the vector a and AC be equal to the vector b.

Consider two vectors sin? θ = CNAC = CNB?

AC?  = b?  inclined at an angle θ

MN = b? sin? θ

a?  *b?  | = | a?  | | b? |sin? θ=AB*AC

The area of ΔABC, we can write the relation

Area of Δ ABC = 12 AB *AC = 12a? *b?

The child is sitting on the trolley and there is no external force, hence it is a single system. The velocity of the centre of mass will not change, irrespective of any internal motion.

Let us assume that H atom and Cl atom are at a distance of x and y respectively from the CM (Centre of Mass).

If mass of the H atom = m, mass of the Cl atom = 35.5m

Given x + y = 1,27 À

Let us assume that the centre of mass of the given molecule lies at the origin. Therefore,

We can have, : (my+35.5mx)/ (m+35.5m) = 0

 mx + 35.5my = 0

x = 35.5 (1.27 – x)

x = 1.24 À

So the centre of mass lies 1.24 À from H atom

All the structures specified are symmetric bodies with uniform mass density. For all these bodies, their centre of mass will lie in their geometric centres.

Not necessarily, the centre of gravity of a circular ring is at the imaginary centre of the ring.

9.32 Focal length of the convex lens, f1 = 30 cm

The liquid acts as a mirror, focal length of the liquid = f2

Focal length of the system (convex lens + liquid), f = 45 cm

For a pair of optical systems placed in contact, the equivalent focal length is given as

1f = 1f1 + 1f2 or 1f2=1f-1f1 = 145 - 130

f2= - 90 cm

Let the refractive index of the lens be μ1 and the radius of curvature of one surface be R

Hence, the radius of curvature of the other surface is –R

R can be obtained by using the relation

1f1 = ( μ1-1)(1R + 1R ) = (1.5 – 1)( 2R)

130 = 1R , so R =
