Important Questions on Rigid Body Dynamics: Part 2

A force acts tangentially at the highest point of a disc of mass kept on a rough horizontal plane. If the disc rolls without slipping, the acceleration of centre of the disc is

A disc of mass m and radius R moves in the x-y plane as shown in Figure. The angular momentum of the disc about the origin O at the instant shown is

A uniform sphere of mass , radius and moment of inertia about its centre moves along the -axis as shown in figure. Its centre of mass moves with velocity, and it rotates about its centre of mass with angular velocity . Let . The angular momentum of the body about the origin is

A disc is freely rotating with an angular speed on a smooth horizontal plane. If it is hooked at a rigid page and rotates without bouncing about a point on its circumference. Its angular speed after the impact will be equal to

A small bead of mass moving with velocity gets threaded on a stationary semicircular ring of mass and radius kept on a horizontal table. WHat is the angular velocity?

A block of mass is attached to a pulley disc of equal mass and radius by means of a slack string as shown. The pulley is hinged about its centre on a horizontal table and the block is projected with an initial velocity of . Its velocity when the string becomes taut will be

A uniform solid sphere of radius is rolling on a smooth horizontal surface with velocity and angular velocity . The sphere collides with a sharp edge on the wall as shown in figure. The coefficient of friction between the sphere and the edge . Just after the collision the angular velocity of the sphere becomes equal to zero. The linear velocity of the sphere just after the collision is equal to
