Two masses \(M\) and \(m\) are attached to a vertical axis by weightless threads of combined length \(l\). They are set in rotational motion in a horizontal plane about this axis with constant angular velocity \(ω\). If the tensions in the threads are the same during motion, the distance \(x\) of \(M\) from the axis is:

1. \(\dfrac{Ml}{M+m}\)

2. \(\dfrac{ml}{M+m}\)

3. \(\dfrac{M+m}{M}l\)

4. \(\dfrac{M+m}{m}l\)

A \(500\ \text{kg}\) car takes a round turn of radius \(50\ \text{m}\) with a velocity of \(36\ \text{km/h}\). The centripetal force is:

4. \(1200\ \text{N}\)

A ball of mass \(0.25\ \text{kg}\) attached to the end of a string of length \(1.96\ \text{m}\) is moving in a horizontal circle. The string will break if the tension is more than \(25\ \text{N}\). What is the maximum speed with which the ball can be moved:

A body of mass \(5\ \text{kg}\) is moving in a circle of radius \(1\ \text{m}\) with an angular velocity of \(2\ \text{rad/s}\). The centripetal force is:

A stone of mass \(16\ \text{kg}\) is attached to a string \(144\ \text{m}\) long and is whirled in a horizontal circle. The maximum tension the string can withstand is \(16\) Newton. The maximum velocity of revolution that can be given to the stone without breaking it will be:

1. \(20\ \text{ms}^{–1}\)
2. \(16\ \text{ms}^{–1}\)
3. \(14\ \text{ms}^{–1}\)
4. \(12\ \text{ms}^{–1}\)

The coefficient of friction between the road and tyre is \(0.2\). The maximum velocity for skidding of a car moving on a circular track of radius \(100\ \text{m}\) is:

1. \(0.14\ \text{m/s}\)

4. \(14\ \text{m/s}\)

A ball of mass \(0.1~\text{kg}\) is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius \(1\) m by means of a string at an initial speed of \(10~\text{rpm}\) . Keeping the radius constant, the tension in the string is reduced to one quarter of its initial value. The new speed is:

A cyclist riding the bicycle at a speed of $14\sqrt{3}$ms^–1 takes a turn around a circular road of radius $20\sqrt{3}$m without skidding. Given g = 9.8 ms^–2, what is his inclination to the vertical?

1. 30^o

2. 90^o

3. 45^o

4. 60^o

A point mass \(m\) is suspended from a light thread of length \(l,\) fixed at \(O\), and is whirled in a horizontal circle at a constant speed as shown. From your point of view, stationary with respect to the mass, the forces on the mass are:

1.		2.
3.		4.

If a cyclist moving with a speed of 4.9 m/s on a level road can take a sharp circular turn of radius 4 m, then coefficient of friction between the cycle tyres and road is

2. 0.51

3. 0.61

4. 0.71
