A hemispherical bowl of the radius R is rotating about its axis of symmetry which is kept vertical. A small ball kept in the bowl rotates with the bowl without slipping on its surface. If the surface of the bowl is smooth and the angle made by the radius through the ball with the vertical is θ. Find the angular speed at which the bowl is rotating.

A particle of mass m is moving with a constant speed v in a circular path in a smooth horizontal plane (plane of the paper) by a spring force as shown in the figure. If the natural length of the spring is l0 and the stiffness of the spring is k, find the elongation of the spring.

Ball A is attached to one end of a rigid massless rod, while an identical ball B is attached to the centre of the rod, as figure illustrates. Each ball has a mass m=0.50 kg, and the length of each half of the rod is L=0.50 m. This arrangement is held by the empty end and is whirled around in a horizontal circle at a constant rate, so each ball is in uniform circular motion. Ball A travels at a constant speed of vA=4.0 m s-1. Find the tension in each half of the rod.

A bead of mass m slides along a curved wire lying on a horizontal surface as shown in figure.

Question Image

(i) If the bead slides at constant speed along the wire, draw the vectors representing the force exerted by the wire on the bead at points A, B, and C.
(ii) Now consider the bead in figure speeds up with constant tangential acceleration as it moves towards the right. Draw the vectors representing the force on the bead at points A, B, and C.

A simple pendulum is constructed by attaching a bob of mass m to a string of length l  fixed at its upper end. The bob oscillates in a vertical circle. It is found that the speed of the bob is v when the string makes an angle θ with the vertical. Determine:
(i) the tangential acceleration of the sphere,
(ii) the tension in the cord.
(iii) the magnitude of net force on the bob at the instant.

In a rotor, a hollow vertical cylindrical structure rotates about its axis and a person rests against the inner wall. At a particular speed of the rotor, the floor below the person is removed and the person hangs resting against the wall without any floor. If the radius of the rotor is 2 m and the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the person is 0.2, find the minimum speed at which the floor may be removed. Take g = 10 m s-2.
