How is it possible to increase the M.A. of the given lever without increasing its length?

The disc of mass with uniform surface mass density is shown in the figure. The centre of mass of the quarter disc (the shaded area) is at the position where is _______ . (Round off to the Nearest Integer) [ is an area as shown in the figure]

A rod of length can rotate about end What is the work done if the rod is rotated by


A bead of mass stays at point on a wire bent in the shape of a parabola and rotating with angular speed (see figure). The value of is (neglect friction)

A long ladder weighing leans on a frictionless wall. Its feet rest on the floor away from the wall as shown in the figure. If and are the reaction forces of the floor and the wall, then ratio of will be :
(Use .)

A uniform rod of length and mass is balanced on a wedge placed at mark. A mass of is suspended from the rod at and another unknown mass is suspended from the rod at mark as shown in the figure. Find the value of such that the rod is in equilibrium.



Shown in the figure is rigid and uniform one meter long rod held in horizontal position by two strings tied to its ends and attached to the ceiling. The rod is off mass and has another weight of mass hung at a distance of from . The tension in the string at is:




As shown in figure, a garden roller is pushed with a force of at an angle of with horizontal. The normal reaction on the roller is (Given )




Two planets of radii and are made from the same material having same density. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surfaces of the planets is

Gravitational force is essentially required for

A mass is supported by a massless string wound around a uniform hollow cylinder of mass and radius . If the string does not slip on the cylinder, then with what acceleration will the mass release? (Assume acceleration due to gravity)
