A small sphere of radius is held against the inner surface of a smooth spherical shell of radius as shown in the figure. The masses of the shell and the small sphere are and , respectively.

This arrangement is placed on a smooth horizontal table. The small sphere is now released. The -coordinate of the center of the shell when the smaller sphere reaches the other extreme position is,



Important Questions on Rotational Motion


Two blocks and are connected by a massless string (shown in the figure). A force of is applied on block . The distance travelled by centre of mass in starting from rest is:


A circular loop of rope of length rotates with uniform angular velocity about an axis through its centre on a horizontal smooth platform. Velocity of pulse (with respect to rope ) produce due to slight radial displacement is given by, If both are in opposite directions, then the velocity of the pulse with respect to the ground will be:



A rectangular plate of length, width and mass rotates with angular velocity about an axis in. The axis of rotation passes through centre of mass and cuts the length of the plate at an acute angle . Find the angular momentum about.
