Important Questions on Rigid Body Dynamics: Part 2



A solid ball of mass and radius spinning with angular velocity falls on a horizontal slab of mass with rough upper surface (coefficient of friction ) and smooth lower surface. Immediately after collision the normal component of velocity of the ball remains half of its value just before collision and it stops spinning. Find the velocity of the sphere in horizontal direction immediately after the impact (given: ).

A sphere of radius and mass has a linear velocity directed to the left and no angular velocity as it is placed on a horizontal platform moving to the right with a constant velocity . If after sliding on the platform the sphere is to have no linear velocity relative to the ground as it starts rolling on the platform without sliding. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sphere and the platform is Determine the required value of in

Two small spheres of mass each are connected to each other by means of an unstretched spring of force constant and natural length The system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface and the two spheres are given velocities as shown in the figure. The maximum elongation in the spring is found to be during the subsequent motion. Calculate in Take

A rod of mass '' and length is pivoted at its centre (point ) to rotate in vertical plane as shown. Two discs of same radius are joined at the ends and of the rod. Mass of the discs and are and respectively. Initial angular velocities of discs are shown in figure. The system is released from rest from horizontal position. Find the angular velocity of the (in )when it is vertical. (Given and )
