A cylinder of diameter and mass rests on two rough pegs (coefficient of static friction ), the distance apart. A gradually increasing torque is applied as shown. The cylinder will topple before it slips if



Important Questions on Rotational Mechanics
A uniform rod of weight rests on a rough peg at and a force acts at as shown in figure. If and The minimum coefficient of friction at is : (where is mid point of rod)

One stick leans on another as shown in figure. A right angle is formed where they meet, and the right stick makes an angle with the horizontal. The left stick extends infinitesimally beyond the end of the right stick. The coefficient of friction between the two sticks is . The sticks have the same mass density per unit length and are both hinged at the ground. What is the minimum value of for which the sticks do not fall? (Take



A person supports a book between finger and thumb as shown (the point of grip is assumed to be at the corner of the book). If the book has a weight of then the person is producing a torque on the book of

A string is wrapped around the rim of a wheel of moment of inertia and radius The wheel is free to rotate about its axis and initially the wheel is rest. The string is now pulled by a force of The angular velocity of the string after seconds will be :-

In the figure half of the meter scale is made of wood while the other half of steel. The wooden part is pivoted at A force is applied at the end of steel part. In figure the steel part is pivoted at and the same force is applied at the wooden end:-

In the following figure and are and respectively. If the moment of inertia of the wheel is then its angular acceleration will be :-
