A block of mass is attached to a pulley disc of equal mass and radius by means of a slack string as shown. The pulley is hinged about its centre on a horizontal table and the block is projected with an initial velocity of . Its velocity when the string becomes taut will be




Important Questions on Rigid Body Dynamics: Part 2
A uniform solid sphere of radius is rolling on a smooth horizontal surface with velocity and angular velocity . The sphere collides with a sharp edge on the wall as shown in figure. The coefficient of friction between the sphere and the edge . Just after the collision the angular velocity of the sphere becomes equal to zero. The linear velocity of the sphere just after the collision is equal to

A conical pendulum consists of a simple pendulum moving in a horizontal circle as shown. is the pivot, the centre of the circle in which the pendulum bob moves and the constant angular velocity of the bob. If is the angular momentum about point , then


A solid sphere of mass is lying at rest on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the ground and sphere is . The maximum value of , so that the sphere will not slip, is equal to
