Important Questions on Centripetal and Centrifugal Forces
A chain of mass and radius placed on a smooth table is revolving with about a vertical axis coinciding with the symmetry axis of the chain. Find tension in the chain.

A wire which is bent in the shape of a curve given by, A bead of mass m is located at point If the wire is smooth, find with which wire needs to be rotated for bead to be static.

On the centre of a frictionless table, a small hole is made, through which a weightless string of length is inserted. On the two ends of the string, two balls of the same mass are attached. The arrangement is made in such a way that half of the string is on the table top and half is hanging below. The ball on the table top is made to move in a circular path with a constant speed . What is the centripetal acceleration of the moving ball?

A long horizontal rod has a bead which can slide along its length, and initially placed at a distance from one end of the rod. The rod is set in angular motion about with constant angular acceleration If the coefficient of friction between the rod and the bead is and gravity is neglected, then the time after which the bead starts slipping is

A motorcycle driver doubles its velocity when he is having a turn. The force exerted outwardly will be

A coin is placed on a rotating turn table rotated with angular speed The coin just slips if it is placed at from the centre of the table. If angular velocity is doubled, at what distance will coin starts to slip?
