A metre stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Assuming that the end of the stick on the floor does not slip, the velocity of the other end when it hits the floor, will be


Important Questions on Motion of System of Particles and Rigid Body

A uniform bar of length and mass lies on a smooth horizontal table. Two point masses and moving in the same horizontal with speed and respectively, strike the bar as shown in the figure, and stick to the bar after the collision. Denoting angular velocity (about the centre of mass), total energy and centre of mass velocity by and respectively, we have after the collision:



A sphere is rolling without slipping on a fixed horizontal plane surface. In the figure, is the point of contact, is the centre of the sphere and is the topmost point. Then

A cubical block of side is moving with a velocity on a horizontal smooth plane as shown in the figure. It hits a ridge at the point . The angular speed of the block after it hits the ridge at is:

A uniform rod of mass and length is suspended by two strings and of negligible mass as shown in the figure When the string is cut, the tension in the string will be:
