A rod of length is placed at the edge of a smooth table as shown. It is hit horizontally at point If the displacement of center of mass in is the angular velocity of the rod is (Take c)



Important Questions on Systems of Particles and Rotational Motion

Persons and are standing on the opposite sides of a wide water stream that they wish to cross. Each one of them has a rigid wooden plank whose mass can be neglected. However, each plank is only slightly longer than, So, they decide to arrange them together as shown in the figure schematically. With (the mass ) standing, the maximum mass of , who can walk over the plank is close to,






A wheel of radius, with an axle of radius, is as shown in the figure and is free to rotate about a frictionless axis through its center and perpendicular to the page. Three forces , are exerted tangentially to the respective rims as shown in the figure.
The magnitude of the net torque acting on the system is nearly,

A particle is moving uniformly along a straight line as shown in the figure. During the motion of the particle from to , the angular momentum of the particle about







The torque, acting on the particle about the origin, at is:





A uniform bar of mass is supported by a pivot at its top about which the bar can swing like a pendulum. If a force is applied perpendicular to the lower end of the bar as shown in figure, what is the value of in order to hold the bar in equilibrium at an angle from the vertical
