A small object of uniform density rolls up a curved surface with an initial velocity . It reaches up to a maximum height of with respect to the initial position. The object is

A rigid massless rod of length has two masses attached at each end as shown in the figure. The rod is pivoted at point on the horizontal axis. When released from the initial horizontal position, its instantaneous angular acceleration will be

One end of a rod of length is fixed to a point on the circumference of a wheel of radius The other end is sliding freely along a straight channel passing through the center of the wheel as shown in the figure below. The wheel is rotating with a constant angular velocity (in radian per second) about

A wheel of radius "rolls without slipping with a speed on a horizontal road. When it is at a point on the road a small bob of the mud separates from wheel at the highest point and touches the point on the road as shown in the figure. Then is (g-acceleration due to gravity)


On a pulley of mass hangs a rope with two masses and tied at the ends as shown in the figure. The pulley rotates without any friction, whereas the friction between the rope and the pulley is large enough to prevent any slipping. Which of the following plots best represents the difference between the tensions in the rope on the two sides of the pulley as a function of the mass of the pulley?
