A plank is rotating in a vertical plane about one of its ends with a constant angular velocity rad/s. A block of mass m = 2 kg is placed at a distance I = 1m from its end A (see diagram) which is hinged. The block starts sliding down when the plank makes an angle with the horizontal. If coefficient of friction between the plank and the block is and given that . The value of k is

Two masses and are attached with strings as shown in the figure. For the system to be in equilibrium, we have

A uniform rope of length and mass is placed on a smooth fixed wedge as shown. Both ends of rope are at same horizontal level. The rope is initially released from rest, then the magnitude of initial acceleration of rope is




A bob is hanging over a pulley inside a car through a string. The second end of the string is in the hand of a person standing in the car. The car is moving with constant acceleration directed horizontally as shown in figure. The other end of the string is pulled with constant acceleration (relative to car) vertically. The tension in the string is equal to,


Statement I : If there is no external torque on a body about its centre of mass, then the velocity of the centre of mass remains constant.
Statement II : The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.
Select the correct option.
