    2.5 m
  • b)
    1 m
  • c)
    1.5 m
  • d)
    2 m

Sakshi Sharma answered
Given, linear density of the rod is proportional to x, where x is the distance from one end of the rod.

Let the linear density of the rod at distance x from one end be ρ(x).

We know that the mass of an element of length dx at a distance x from one end is given by dm = ρ(x) dx.

The total mass of the rod is given by integrating the above expression from 0 to 3m:

M = ∫₀³ ρ(x) dx

We also know that the position of the centre of gravity of the rod is given by:

x_bar = (1/M) ∫₀³ x ρ(x) dx

Substituting dm = ρ(x) dx in the above expression, we get:

x_bar = (1/M) ∫₀³ x dm

x_bar = (1/M) ∫₀³ x ρ(x) dx

x_bar = (1/M) ∫₀³ x (kx) dx (since ρ(x) is proportional to x)

x_bar = (k/M) ∫₀³ x² dx

x_bar = (k/M) [x³/3]₀³

x_bar = (k/M) [3³/3]

x_bar = 3k/M

But we know that M = ∫₀³ ρ(x) dx

M = k ∫₀³ x dx

M = k [x²/2]₀³

M = k (9/2)

Therefore, x_bar = 3k/M = 3k/(k(9/2)) = 2/3 * 3 = 2m

Hence, the distance of the centre of gravity of the rod from one end is 2m, which is option D.

A wheel of radius 1m r olls for war d half a revolution on a horizontal ground. The magnitude of the displacement of the point of the wheel initially in contact with the ground is [2002]
  • a)
    π
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sarthak Saini answered
Linear distance moved by wheel in half revolution = πr. Point P1 after half revolution reaches at P2 vertically 2m above the ground.
∴   Displacement P1P2
              [∵ r = 1m]

Three masses are placed on the x-axis : 300g at origin, 500g at x = 40cm and 400g at x = 70 cm.The distance of the centre of mass from the origin is : [2012M]
  • a)
    40 cm
  • b)
    45 cm
  • c)
    50 cm
  • d)
    30 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Calculation of Centre of Mass:

To find the centre of mass of the system, we can use the formula:

Xcm = (m1x1 + m2x2 + m3x3)/M

where m1, m2, m3 are the masses of the three particles, x1, x2, x3 are their respective distances from the origin, and M = m1 + m2 + m3 is the total mass of the system.

Substituting the given values, we get:

Xcm = (0.3 kg x 0 m + 0.5 kg x 0.4 m + 0.4 kg x 0.7 m)/(0.3 kg + 0.5 kg + 0.4 kg)

Xcm = 0.12 m + 0.2 m + 0.28 m / 1.2 kg

Xcm = 0.6 m

Therefore, the distance of the centre of mass from the origin is 0.6 m or 60 cm.

Answer:

The correct option is (A) 40 cm.

The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc of radius R and mass M about an axis touching the disc at its diameter and normal to the disc is
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
    MR2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Shanaya Rane answered
Moment of Inertia of a disc about an axis perpendicular to its face & passing through its centre is
Now, given axis is parallel to the axis given above,  so, applying theorem of parallel axis.
