A uniform hemisphere with radius is placed on a horizontal smooth surface. Its centre of mass is below the centre An object is placed on the flat surface of the hemisphere at point The mass of the object is of mass of the hemisphere. The coefficient of friction between the object and the surface of the hemisphere is Now the object is displaced slowly along the flat surface of the hemisphere towards its outer rim. Find the maximum distance (in ) of the object from the centre without slipping on the hemispherc.




Important Questions on Rigid Body Dynamics: Part 1
hFigure show a uniform block of mass having square base and equilateral triangular cross section placed at the edge of the floor of a truck which is under constant acceleration to the right. A horizontal force on the apex of the triangle is just enough to just tilt the block. Find the force (in newton) on the block at point where the block is in contact with the step edge when is applied. (Take )

A semicircular disc of radius and mass is pulled by a horizontal force so that it moves with uniform velocity. The coefficient of friction between disc and ground is Find the value of in degree.






In the arrangement shown in figure the cylinder of mass is at rest on an incline. The plane is inclined at angle with horizontal. The string between the cylinder and the pulley is horizontal. Find the minimum the mass of the block (in ) to keep the system in equilibrium.

In the instant shown in the figure, the board is moving up vertically with constant velocity The drum winds up at a constant rate If the radius of the drum is and the board always remains horizontal. Find its velocity of board at this moment (in ).

A weightless rod of length with a small load of mass at the end is hinged at point as shown and occupies a strictly vertical position, touching a block of mass A light jerk sets the system in motion. For what mass ratio will the rod form an angle with the horizontal at the moment of the separation from the block?
