Just like the equations of motion in 1D, we get the equations of motion for rotation.
We know that s = d/t, analogous to it is 
Hence D is the correct answer.

A right triangular plate ABC of mass m is free to rotate in the vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis through A. It is supported by a string such that the side AB is horizontal. The reaction at the support A is :
                
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
    mg
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
The distance of Centre Of Mass of the given right angled triangle is 2L/3​ along BA and L/3​ along AC from the point B.
Force of magnitude mg is acting downwards at its COM.
Moment balance around B gives:
mg(2L/3​)−FA​(L)=0
(Moment=  × =rFsin(θ)=F(rsin(θ))=Fr⊥​)
∴FA​=2​mg/3

A body is moving with a constant speed v in a circle of radius r. What is the angular acceleration?
  • a)
    α = vt/r
  • b)
    α = vr/t
  • c)
    α = v/rt
  • d)
    α = 0
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

When a body performs circular motion it has got two accelerations radial acc. And tangential acc. Radial acc. Is responsible for changing the direction of velocity of body but tangential acc. Is responsible for changing the magnitide of velocity of body. As the body is moving with constant speed so tangential acc. Is zero. As we know that tangential acc. = radius * angular acc. So angular acc.is zero.

A small cylinder rolling with a velocity v along a horizontal surface encounters a smooth inclined surface. The height ‘h’ up to which the cylinder will ascend is
  • a)
    3v2/4g
  • b)
    v2/2g
  • c)
    3v2/2g
  • d)
    v2/4g
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Shreya Gupta answered
A body can roll along a surface only if the surface is rough. The body will roll up to the foot of the inclined smooth surface. It will continue to spin with the angular speed it has acquired, and will slide up to a certain height, maintaining its spin motion throughout the smooth surface. Its translational kinetic energy alone is responsible for its upward motion along the smooth incline so that the height up to which it will rise is given by 

A rigid body is rotating about an axis. Different particles are at different distances from the axis. Which of the following is true?
  • a)
    Different particles possess the same angular acceleration
  • b)
    Different particles possess the same angular velocity
  • c)
    Different particles possess the same linear acceleration
  • d)
    Different particles possess the same linear velocity.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Reddy answered
In the fixed axis rotation we see that every point on the body has two components of velocity, one in the radial direction and one in the tangential direction. The resultant of these velocities is not the same for any two points lying in the plane of the body. 
Any two points on the radial line have the radial acceleration directed towards the center of equal magnitude and the tangential acceleration of equal magnitude as well. Thus option B is correct.
All the particles lying on the curved surface of a cylinder whose axis coincides with the axis of rotation have the same speed but different velocities.

A solid sphere and a hollow sphere of the same mass have the same moments of inertia about their respective diameters, the ratio of their radii is
  • a)
    (5)1/2 : (3)1/2 
  • b)
     (3)1/2 : (5)1/2
  • c)
    3 : 2
  • d)
    2 : 3
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
We know moment of inertia of solid sphere Is​=2​/5ms​Rs2​ and 
moment of inertia of hollow sphere IH​=2/3​mH​RH2 ​As per question Is​=IH​
Now,
2/5​ms​Rs2​=2/3​mH​RH2​
as the masses are equal the ratio of their radii will be 
​Rs2 /RH2 ​​=2/3​/​2/5​=√5/3​​=(5)1/2: (3)1/2

A disc of radius b and mass m rolls down an inclined plane of vertical height h. the translational speed when it reaches the bottom of the plane will be 
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
The difference in the potential of the body when it rolls down through a vertical height h, is mgh.
As the KE at the top point is zero and let say KE at bottom is ½ mv2 + ½ Iw2
Where m is its mass, I is its moment of inertia, I = ½ mr2
Where r is its radius, v is its gained translational speed and w is its gained angular speed.
w = v/r
Hence equating PE and KE gives
mgh = ½ mv2 + ½ Iw2
That is mgh = ½ mv2 + ½ mr2.(v/r)2
We get mgh = ½  mv2 + ¼  mv
Thus we get v = √gh/3

The M.I. of a disc about its diameter is 2 units. Its M.I. about axis through a point on its rim and in the plane of the disc is
  • a)
    4 unit
  • b)
    6 unit
  • c)
    8 unit
  • d)
    10 unit
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
We know that for a disc of mass m and radius r
MI of a disc about its diameter = mr2/4 = 2
And also MI about a point on its rim = mr2/4 + mr2
= 5mr2/4
= 5 x 2 = 10

An automobile engine develops 100H.P. when rotating at a speed of 1800 rad/min. The torque it delivers is
  • a)
    3.33 W-s
  • b)
    200W-s
  • c)
    248.7 W-s
  • d)
    2487 W-s
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

100 HP = 74570 W or 74.57 KW Now, P = 2*π*N*T/60 where, P is the power (in W), N is the operating speed of the engine (in r.p.m.) and T is the Torque (in N.m). Therefore, 74570 = 2*π*1800*T/60 i.e. T = 395.606 N.m
 

A mixer grinder rotates clockwise, its angular velocity will be :
  • a)
    zero
  • b)
    negative
  • c)
    uniform but not zero
  • d)
    positive
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashish Roy answered
**Explanation:**

A mixer grinder is a device that is used for grinding and mixing various ingredients. It consists of a motor and a set of blades that rotate at high speeds to perform the grinding and mixing tasks. When the mixer grinder is turned on, the motor starts rotating the blades in a clockwise direction.

**Angular Velocity:**
Angular velocity is a measure of how quickly an object rotates or moves around a central point. It is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time. The direction of the angular velocity is determined by the direction of rotation. In the case of a mixer grinder rotating clockwise, the angular velocity will be negative.

**Direction of Angular Velocity:**
The direction of angular velocity is determined by the right-hand rule. According to the right-hand rule, if the fingers of the right hand curl in the direction of rotation, the thumb will point in the direction of the angular velocity vector. In the case of a mixer grinder rotating clockwise, the fingers of the right hand curl in the clockwise direction, and the thumb points in the opposite direction, which is counterclockwise or negative.

**Significance of Negative Angular Velocity:**
A negative angular velocity indicates that the object is rotating in the opposite direction compared to the conventional positive direction. In the case of a mixer grinder, a negative angular velocity means that the blades are rotating counterclockwise when viewed from above. This counterclockwise rotation is necessary for the blades to effectively grind and mix the ingredients.

**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, a mixer grinder rotates clockwise, which means its angular velocity will be negative. The negative angular velocity indicates that the blades are rotating counterclockwise when viewed from above, allowing them to efficiently perform the grinding and mixing tasks.

A thin rod of length 4 l , mass 4 m is bent at the points as shown in the fig. What is the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis passing through point O and perpendicular to the plane of the paper :  
  • a)
    ml2/3
  • b)
    10ml2/3
  • c)
    ml2/12
  • d)
    ml2/24
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
Since the mass of rod is 54m and length is 4l.
so mass C = m
and length of AB = BO=OC= CD = l
WE, know moment of Inertia of a rod about to end = ml2​/3
So, moment of Inertia of AB, BO, OC, CD about B, O, O, C respectively = ml2/3​
From parallel axis theorem 
Moment of Inertia of AB about O.
=ml2/3​+ml2=4ml2​/3
Similarly od CD about O   =4ml2/3​
SO moment of Inertia Rod about O
=ml2/3​+ml2/3​+4ml2/3​+4ml2/3​ 
=10ml2/3​

An inclined plane makes an angle of 30o with the horizontal. A ring rolling down this inclinedplane from rest without slipping has a linear acceleration equal to :
  • a)
    2g/3
  • b)
    g/2 
  • c)
    g/3
  • d)
    g/4
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
We know for a rolling body acceleration down an inclined plane, a = g.sinθ / (1 + I/mR2)
Where I is body's moment of inertia. Here, I = mR2  
Thus just by putting the values to the formula we get
a = g.sin 30° / 2
= g/4

  • d)
    none of thses
Correct answer is 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
Angular velocity is a pseudovector , with its magnitude measuring the rate of rotation and its direction pointing along the axis of rotation ( perpendicular to radius and velocity vectors ) .

On applying a constant torque on a body
  • a)
     Linear velocity may be increases
  • b)
    Angular velocity may be increases
  • c)
    It will rotate with constant angular velocity
  • d)
    It will move with constant velocity
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
If a constant torque is applied it is possible that a positive angular acceleration gets generated which can generate a positive acceleration and hence increasing both velocity and angular velocity.

Kinetic Energy of a rotating body i.e. Rotational Kinetic Energy can be converted to various forms of energy they are
  • a)
    Heat, Potential Energy
  • b)
    Linear Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy
  • c)
    Heat, Linear Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
Take an example where the system is attached with spring and the spring is attached to a wall, if you rotate the system that system has KE and spring will also rotate with that system and thus spring will start to compress which will create PE in it and heat will obviously be generated.

A boy is playing with a tire of radius 0.5m. He accelerates it from 5rpm to 25 rpm in 15 seconds. The linear acceleration of tire is
  • a)
    70 m/s2
  • b)
    7 m/s2
  • c)
    10 m/s2
  • d)
    0.07 m/s2
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Naina Sharma answered
r=0.5m, t=15s
n1=5rpm=5/60 rps
n2=25rpm=25/60rps
… ω1=2π(5) rad/s
… ω2=2π(25) rad/s
As,
a=r∝          [∝=ω2- ω1/t]
so, a=0.5[2π(n2-n1)/t]
a=0.5x6.28x20/60x15
a=6.28x2/60x3
a=6.28/90
a=0.697 m/s2
a≈0.7 m/s2

In order to maximize torque, you need to:
Maximize the magnitude of the force, F, that you apply to the lever.
Maximize the distance, r, from the axis of rotation of the point on the lever to which you apply the force.
Apply the force in a direction perpendicular to the lever.

In case of couples, which statement is not true?
  • a)
    Couple can be balanced by a single force.
  • b)
    The sum of moment of all forces about any point is same.
  • c)
    Couple is always balanced by a couple.
  • d)
    Couple cannot be balanced by a single force.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Naina Sharma answered
When two forces of equal magnitude opposite in direction and acting along parallel straight lines, then they are said to form a couple. The perpendicular distance between the two force forming a couple is called the arm of the couple.
‘Couple’ are the types of forces acting clockwise or anti-clockwise. We can only balance them by two forces minimum.
