Three identical rods of mass and length are placed on one another on the table so as to produce the maximum overhang as shown in figure. The maximum total overhang will be




Important Questions on System of Particles and Centre of Mass



Consider two skaters and initially at rest on ice (friction is negligible) with holding a ball. has greater mass than and the ball has some significant mass. throws the ball to catches it and throws it back to who catches it again. The magnitudes of the skater's (excluding ball) final velocities, momentum and kinetic energies (denoted below as and respectively) are related as

Two particles of equal mass are projected from the ground with speeds and at angles and as shown in the figure. Given and . Which statement/s is/are correct?

A ball of mass is thrown up with an initial speed of A second ball of mass is released from rest from some height as shown in figure. Choose the correct statement(s).

Two small rings, each of mass ' ', are connected to the block of same mass ' ' through an inextensible massless string of length ' '. Rings are constrained to move over smooth rod Initially, the system is held at rest as shown in figure. Let and be the velocities of ring and block, respectively when string makes an angle with the vertical.

An ideal spring is permanently connected between two blocks of masses and The blocks-spring system can move over a smooth horizontal table along a straight line along the length of the spring as shown in figure. The blocks are brought nearer to compress the spring and then released. In the subsequent motion,
