Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: A circular hoop of mass m and radius R rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A bullet of mass m moving with speed v strikes the hoop tangentially at its edge (along a line a distance R from the centre) and gets embedded in it. The thickness of the hoop is much smaller than R. The angular velocity of the system after the collision is:
(a) \( \frac{v}{3R} \)
(b) \( \frac{v}{4R} \)
(c) \( \frac{2v}{3R} \)
(d) \( \frac{3v}{4R} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \frac{v}{3R} \)

Explanation:
1. The system is free, so it rotates about its centre of mass. The centre of mass lies at distance \( R/2 \) from the hoop centre towards the bullet.
2. Angular momentum about the centre of mass: \( L=mv\left(R-\frac R2\right)=\frac{mvR}{2} \).
3. \( I_{cm}=\left[mR^2+m\frac{R^2}{4}\right]+m\frac{R^2}{4}=\frac32mR^2 \). So \( \omega=\frac{mvR/2}{(3/2)mR^2}=\frac{v}{3R} \).

Question 2: The moment of inertia of a thin semicircular ring of mass M and radius R about an axis in its plane that passes through the centre of the circle (the centre of the full ring) and makes an angle \( \theta \) with the diameter is:
(a) \( MR^2 \)
(b) \( \frac{MR^2}{2} \)
(c) \( \frac{MR^2}{2}\cos^2\theta \)
(d) \( MR^2\sin^2\theta \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \frac{MR^2}{2} \)

Explanation:
1. For a full ring, the moments about two perpendicular diameters are equal and each equals \( \frac12(MR^2) \). The semicircle has half the mass and half the moment: \( I_x=I_y=\frac{MR^2}{2} \).
2. Both axes are in the plane, so for an axis at angle \( \theta \): \( I=I_x\cos^2\theta+I_y\sin^2\theta=\frac{MR^2}{2} \). It is independent of \( \theta \).

Question 3: A small disc of radius R/3 is removed from a uniform circular disc of radius R and mass 9M. The centre of the hole is at a distance 2R/3 from the centre O of the disc. The moment of inertia of the remaining part about an axis perpendicular to the plane through O is:
(a) \( \frac{40}{9}MR^2 \)
(b) \( 10MR^2 \)
(c) \( 4MR^2 \)
(d) \( \frac{37}{9}MR^2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( 4MR^2 \)

Explanation:
1. The removed disc has area one ninth of the whole, so its mass is M.
2. \( I_{whole}=\frac12(9M)R^2=\frac92MR^2 \). \( I_{hole}=\frac12M\left(\frac R3\right)^2+M\left(\frac{2R}{3}\right)^2=\frac{MR^2}{18}+\frac{4MR^2}{9}=\frac{MR^2}{2} \).
3. Remaining: \( \frac92MR^2-\frac12MR^2=4MR^2 \).

Question 4: Four identical thin rods, each of mass m and length l, form a rigid square frame lying in the xy plane with its centre at the origin. Which of the following gives the moments of inertia correctly? (I) About the x-axis (through the centre, parallel to a side): \( \frac23ml^2 \). (II) About the z-axis through the centre: \( \frac43ml^2 \). (III) About an axis parallel to the z-axis through a corner: \( \frac{10}{3}ml^2 \). (IV) About one side: \( \frac53ml^2 \).
(a) I and II only
(b) II and III only
(c) I, III and IV only
(d) All four are correct
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) All four are correct

Explanation:
1. (I) Two rods along x at distance \( l/2 \): \( 2m\frac{l^2}{4} \); two rods perpendicular to the axis: \( 2\cdot\frac{ml^2}{12} \). Sum \( =\frac23ml^2 \).
2. (II) Each rod: \( \frac{ml^2}{12}+m\frac{l^2}{4}=\frac{ml^2}{3} \); four rods \( =\frac43ml^2 \). (III) Corner axis: \( \frac43ml^2+4m\cdot\frac{l^2}{2}=\frac{10}{3}ml^2 \).
3. (IV) About one side: the opposite rod gives \( ml^2 \), the two perpendicular rods give \( 2\cdot\frac{ml^2}{3} \), the rod on the axis gives 0. Total \( \frac53ml^2 \). All statements are correct.

Question 5: A particle of mass m is projected with speed \( v_0 \) at 45 degrees to the horizontal. The magnitude of its angular momentum about the point of projection when it is at the highest point of its path is:
(a) \( \frac{mv_0^3}{4\sqrt2\,g} \)
(b) \( \frac{mv_0^3}{\sqrt2\,g} \)
(c) Zero
(d) \( \frac{mv_0^3}{2\sqrt2\,g} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \frac{mv_0^3}{4\sqrt2\,g} \)

Explanation:
1. At the highest point the velocity is horizontal: \( v_x=v_0\cos45^\circ=\frac{v_0}{\sqrt2} \), and the height is \( H=\frac{v_0^2\sin^2 45^\circ}{2g}=\frac{v_0^2}{4g} \).
2. The perpendicular distance of the velocity line from the point of projection is H, so \( L=mv_xH=m\frac{v_0}{\sqrt2}\cdot\frac{v_0^2}{4g}=\frac{mv_0^3}{4\sqrt2\,g} \).

Question 6: A solid sphere of mass m and radius R is gently placed on a conveyor belt moving to the right with constant speed \( v_0 \). The coefficient of friction between the belt and the sphere is 2/7. The distance travelled by the centre of the sphere before it starts pure rolling is:
(a) \( \frac{2v_0^2}{49g} \)
(b) \( \frac{v_0^2}{7g} \)
(c) \( \frac{2v_0^2}{5g} \)
(d) \( \frac{2v_0^2}{7g} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \frac{v_0^2}{7g} \)

Explanation:
1. Friction \( \mu mg \) acts forward: \( a=\mu g=\frac{2g}{7} \). Its torque gives \( \alpha=\frac{\mu mgR}{\frac25mR^2}=\frac{5\mu g}{2R} \).
2. Pure rolling on the moving belt needs the contact point to move with the belt: \( v+\omega R=v_0 \), i.e. \( at+\frac52at=v_0 \), so \( t=\frac{2v_0}{7a}=\frac{v_0}{g} \).
3. Distance \( =\frac12at^2=\frac12\cdot\frac{2g}{7}\cdot\frac{v_0^2}{g^2}=\frac{v_0^2}{7g} \).

Question 8: A small ball of mass m is suspended from a point O on the ceiling by a thread of length l and moves along a horizontal circle with constant angular velocity \( \omega \) (conical pendulum). C is the centre of the circle. Which statements are correct? (I) Angular momentum about O is constant (as a vector). (II) Angular momentum about C is constant. (III) The vertical component of angular momentum about O is constant. (IV) The magnitude of angular momentum about O is constant.
(a) I and II only
(b) I, III and IV only
(c) II and IV only
(d) II, III and IV only
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) II, III and IV only

Explanation:
1. About O the angular momentum has a horizontal component that rotates with the ball, so the vector changes direction: (I) is false. Its magnitude and vertical component stay the same: (III) and (IV) are true.
2. About C, \( \vec r \) and \( \vec v \) are both horizontal and the speed is constant, so \( \vec L=mr^2\omega \) along the vertical is constant: (II) is true.

Question 9: A ring rolls without slipping on the ground. Its centre C moves with constant speed u. P is a point on the ring and v is the speed of P relative to the ground. Which statements are correct? (I) \( 0\le v\le 2u \). (II) \( v=u \) if CP is horizontal. (III) \( v=u \) if CP makes 60 degrees with the horizontal and P is below the level of C. (IV) \( v=\sqrt2u \) if CP is horizontal.
(a) I and IV only
(b) I and II only
(c) II and III only
(d) I, III and IV only
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) I and IV only

Explanation:
1. The velocity of P is \( u \) (translation) plus \( u \) tangential (rotation). If CP makes angle \( \beta \) with the downward vertical, \( v=2u\sin\frac\beta2 \), which ranges from 0 to 2u: (I) true.
2. CP horizontal: \( \beta=90^\circ \), \( v=2u\sin45^\circ=\sqrt2u \): (II) false, (IV) true.
3. CP at 60 degrees below horizontal: \( \beta=30^\circ \), \( v=2u\sin15^\circ\ne u \): (III) false. (v = u occurs at \( \beta=60^\circ \).)

Question 10: A thin horizontal circular disc rotates about a vertical axis through its centre. An insect at rest near the rim starts walking along a diameter to reach the opposite end. During its journey, the angular speed of the disc:
(a) continuously decreases
(b) first increases and then decreases
(c) continuously increases
(d) remains unchanged
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) first increases and then decreases

Explanation:
1. No external torque acts, so \( L=I\omega \) is constant.
2. As the insect moves towards the centre, I decreases, so \( \omega \) increases. After crossing the centre it moves outwards, I increases, so \( \omega \) decreases again.

Question 11: A disc of radius R rolls on a horizontal ground with linear acceleration a of its centre (to the right) and clockwise angular acceleration \( \alpha \). At an instant when its linear velocity is v and angular velocity is \( \omega \), a point P lies on the vertical diameter at distance r above the centre O. The magnitude of the acceleration of P is:
(a) \( \frac{ar}{R} \)
(b) \( \sqrt{r^2\alpha^2+r^2\omega^4} \)
(c) \( \sqrt{(a+r\alpha)^2+(r\omega^2)^2} \)
(d) \( r\alpha \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \sqrt{(a+r\alpha)^2+(r\omega^2)^2} \)

Explanation:
1. Acceleration of P = acceleration of O + acceleration of P relative to O.
2. Relative to O: tangential \( r\alpha \) (horizontal, forward for a point above the centre of a clockwise-rotating disc) and centripetal \( r\omega^2 \) (vertical, towards O).
3. Horizontal: \( a+r\alpha \); vertical: \( r\omega^2 \). Magnitude \( =\sqrt{(a+r\alpha)^2+(r\omega^2)^2} \).

Question 12: A block of mass m is attached by a slack string wound tangentially to a pulley disc of mass m and radius r, hinged at its centre on a horizontal table. The block is projected along the string direction with speed 5 m/s. Its speed just after the string becomes taut is:
(a) 3 m/s
(b) 2.5 m/s
(c) 5/3 m/s
(d) 10/3 m/s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 10/3 m/s

Explanation:
1. The jerk is impulsive and the only external impulse is at the hinge, so angular momentum about the pulley centre is conserved.
2. \( m(5)r=mvr+\frac12mr^2\cdot\frac vr \), so \( 5=\frac32v \) and \( v=\frac{10}{3} \) m/s.

Question 13: A particle rests on top of a smooth hemisphere of radius R. The smallest horizontal velocity that must be given to the particle so that it leaves the hemisphere without sliding down along it is:
(a) \( \sqrt{gR} \)
(b) \( \sqrt{2gR} \)
(c) \( \sqrt{3gR} \)
(d) \( \sqrt{5gR} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \sqrt{gR} \)

Explanation:
1. At the top the particle stays on the surface only if \( mg-N=\frac{mv^2}{R} \) with \( N\ge0 \).
2. It leaves immediately when \( N=0 \), i.e. \( v=\sqrt{gR} \). Any speed at least this large makes it leave at once.

Question 14: A hoop of radius r and mass m rotating with angular velocity \( \omega_0 \) is placed on a rough horizontal surface. The initial velocity of its centre is zero. The velocity of the centre of the hoop when it ceases to slip is:
(a) \( \frac{r\omega_0}{4} \)
(b) \( \frac{r\omega_0}{2} \)
(c) \( \frac{r\omega_0}{3} \)
(d) \( r\omega_0 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \frac{r\omega_0}{2} \)

Explanation:
1. Friction acts at the contact point, so angular momentum about the contact point is conserved.
2. \( mr^2\omega_0=mvr+mr^2\omega \) with \( v=\omega r \): \( mr^2\omega_0=2mr^2\omega \), so \( \omega=\frac{\omega_0}{2} \).
3. Velocity of centre \( =\omega r=\frac{r\omega_0}{2} \).

Question 15: A solid sphere of mass m lies at rest on a rough horizontal surface; the coefficient of friction is \( \mu \). A horizontal force F acts at the centre of the sphere. The maximum value of F for which the sphere rolls without slipping is:
(a) \( \frac75\mu mg \)
(b) \( \frac47\mu mg \)
(c) \( \frac72\mu mg \)
(d) \( \frac57\mu mg \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \frac72\mu mg \)

Explanation:
1. \( F-f=ma \) and \( fR=\frac25mR^2\cdot\frac aR \), so \( f=\frac25ma \).
2. Then \( F=\frac75ma=\frac72f \), i.e. \( f=\frac27F \).
3. No slipping needs \( f\le\mu mg \), so \( F\le\frac72\mu mg \).

Question 16: A bob of mass m attached to an inextensible string of length l is suspended from a point and moves as a conical pendulum with constant angular speed. About the point of suspension, the angular momentum of the bob:
(a) is conserved
(b) changes in magnitude but not in direction
(c) changes both in direction and in magnitude
(d) changes in direction but not in magnitude
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) changes in direction but not in magnitude

Explanation:
1. The horizontal component of angular momentum rotates with the bob, so the direction keeps changing.
2. The speed and the geometry stay fixed, so the magnitude is constant.

Question 17: A horizontal disc rotates freely about a vertical axis through its centre. A ring of the same mass and radius is gently placed on the disc, and after some time the two rotate with a common angular velocity. The fraction of the initial kinetic energy that changes into heat is:
(a) 2/3
(b) 1/3
(c) 1/2
(d) 3/4
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 2/3

Explanation:
1. Angular momentum is conserved: \( \frac12mr^2\omega_0=\left(\frac12+1\right)mr^2\omega \), so \( \omega=\frac{\omega_0}{3} \).
2. Final KE \( =\frac12\cdot\frac32mr^2\cdot\frac{\omega_0^2}{9}=\frac13\left(\frac12\cdot\frac12mr^2\omega_0^2\right) \). One third remains, so two thirds is lost as heat.

Question 18: A pulley of radius 2 m is rotated about its axis by a force \( F=(20t-5t^2) \) N (t in seconds) applied tangentially. The moment of inertia of the pulley about its axis is 10 kg m². The number of rotations made by the pulley before its direction of motion is reversed is:
(a) more than 6 but less than 9
(b) more than 3 but less than 6
(c) more than 9
(d) less than 3
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) more than 3 but less than 6

Explanation:
1. \( \alpha=\frac{FR}{I}=\frac{2(20t-5t^2)}{10}=4t-t^2 \). Starting from rest, \( \omega=2t^2-\frac{t^3}{3} \).
2. \( \omega=0 \) again at \( t=6 \) s, when the direction reverses.
3. \( \theta=\int_0^6\omega\,dt=\left[\frac{2t^3}{3}-\frac{t^4}{12}\right]_0^6=144-108=36 \) rad \( =5.7 \) rotations.

(a) \( \frac{2g}{3} \)
(b) \( \frac{5g}{6} \)
(c) \( \frac g2 \)
(d) \( g \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \frac g2 \)

Explanation:
1. \( mg-T=ma \) and \( TR=mR^2\cdot\frac aR \), so \( T=ma \).
2. \( mg=2ma \), so \( a=\frac g2 \).

Question 20: Point masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are at the opposite ends of a rigid massless rod of length L. The rod is set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it, at distance x from \( m_1 \). For the work required to give the rod angular velocity \( \omega_0 \) to be minimum, x must be:
(a) \( \frac{m_1L}{m_1+m_2} \)
(b) \( \frac{m_2}{m_1}L \)
(c) \( \frac{m_1}{m_2}L \)
(d) \( \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2} \)

Explanation:
1. Work equals \( \frac12I\omega_0^2 \), so I must be minimum: \( I=m_1x^2+m_2(L-x)^2 \).
2. \( \frac{dI}{dx}=2m_1x-2m_2(L-x)=0 \) gives \( x=\frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2} \), the centre of mass position.

Question 21: An automobile moves on a road at 54 km/h. The radius of its wheels is 0.45 m and the moment of inertia of a wheel about its axis is 3 kg m². If the vehicle is brought to rest in 15 s, the magnitude of the average torque transmitted by its brakes to the wheel is:
(a) 6.66 kg m² s⁻²
(b) 10.86 kg m² s⁻²
(c) 2.86 kg m² s⁻²
(d) 8.58 kg m² s⁻²
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 6.66 kg m² s⁻²

Explanation:
1. \( v=54\ \text{km/h}=15 \) m/s, so \( \omega=\frac{15}{0.45}=33.3 \) rad/s.
2. \( \alpha=\frac{33.3}{15}=2.22 \) rad/s², and \( \tau=I\alpha=3\times2.22=6.66 \) kg m² s⁻².

Question 22: A light ring has three rods, each of mass m, welded to it forming an equilateral triangle inscribed in the ring. The rigid assembly is released on a rough fixed incline of angle \( \theta \). The minimum coefficient of static friction for pure rolling is \( \frac xy\tan\theta \) (x/y in lowest terms). The value of x + 2y is:
(a) 5
(b) 7
(c) 9
(d) 11
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 7

Explanation:
1. For ring radius R the triangle side is \( \sqrt3R \). Each rod: \( \frac{m(\sqrt3R)^2}{12}+m\left(\frac R2\right)^2=\frac{mR^2}{2} \), so \( I_{cm}=\frac32mR^2 \) and \( k^2=\frac{R^2}{2} \).
2. For rolling: \( f=\frac{Mg\sin\theta\,(k^2/R^2)}{1+k^2/R^2}=\frac{Mg\sin\theta}{3} \), and \( N=Mg\cos\theta \).
3. \( \mu_{min}=\frac{f}{N}=\frac13\tan\theta \), so \( x=1,\ y=3 \) and \( x+2y=7 \).

Question 23: A hollow sphere of outer radius R rolls without slipping down an incline and reaches speed \( v_0 \) at the bottom. The incline is then made smooth and the sphere slides down without rolling, reaching speed \( \frac54v_0 \). The radius of gyration about an axis through its centre is \( \frac{xR}{y} \) (x/y in lowest terms). The value of x + y is:
(a) 5
(b) 9
(c) 7
(d) 12
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 7

Explanation:
1. Rolling: \( v_0^2=\frac{2gh}{1+k^2/R^2} \). Sliding: \( v^2=2gh \).
2. \( \frac{v^2}{v_0^2}=1+\frac{k^2}{R^2}=\frac{25}{16} \), so \( \frac{k^2}{R^2}=\frac{9}{16} \) and \( k=\frac{3R}{4} \).
3. \( x=3,\ y=4 \), so \( x+y=7 \).

Question 24: A small solid ball of mass 0.1 kg rolls without slipping along a track that ends in a vertical circular loop of radius R. The ball starts from rest at a height 8R above the bottom of the track. At the point P of the loop, at the same level as the centre of the loop, the horizontal force acting on the ball is 5x newton (g = 10 m/s²; take the ball small compared with R). The value of x is:
(a) 1
(b) 4
(c) 5
(d) 2
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 2

Explanation:
1. Height of P above the bottom is R, so the ball has descended \( 8R-R=7R \) to reach P. For a solid ball \( \frac12mv^2\left(1+\frac25\right)=mg(7R) \), so \( v^2=10gR \).
2. At P the only horizontal force is the normal reaction, which gives centripetal force: \( N=\frac{mv^2}{R}=10mg=10\ \text{N} \).
3. \( 5x=10 \), so \( x=2 \).

Question 25: A wedge in the form of an equilateral triangle rests on a rough horizontal surface. A horizontal force F is applied at the apex P. The minimum value of the coefficient of friction for which the wedge can topple without slipping is \( \left(\frac1x\right)^{1/2} \). The value of x is:
(a) 3
(b) 2
(c) 4
(d) 6
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 3

Explanation:
1. Toppling about the far base corner: \( F\cdot h=Mg\cdot\frac a2 \), where the height \( h=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a \). So \( F=\frac{Mg}{\sqrt3} \).
2. No slipping: friction \( \mu Mg\ge F=\frac{Mg}{\sqrt3} \), so \( \mu\ge\frac1{\sqrt3} \).
3. Hence \( x=3 \).

Question 26: An L-shaped uniform rod has two identical limbs, each of mass m and length l, and is pivoted smoothly at the top end P of the vertical limb; the other limb is horizontal at the bottom. When released from rest in this position, the initial angular acceleration of the rod is \( \frac{xg}{10l} \). The value of x is:
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 5
(d) 6
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 3

Explanation:
1. Torque about P: the vertical limb passes through P (zero); the horizontal limb gives \( mg\frac l2 \).
2. \( I_P=\frac{ml^2}{3}+\left[\frac{ml^2}{12}+m\left(l^2+\frac{l^2}{4}\right)\right]=\frac53ml^2 \).
3. \( \alpha=\frac{mgl/2}{5ml^2/3}=\frac{3g}{10l} \), so \( x=3 \).

Question 27: A solid cylinder is released from rest at the top of an incline of inclination 60 degrees where the friction coefficient varies with the distance x (in metres) travelled along the incline as \( \mu=\frac{2-3x}{\sqrt3} \). The distance travelled before it starts slipping is \( \frac P3 \) metres. The value of P is:
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 1
(d) 4
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 1

Explanation:
1. For rolling, the friction needed is \( f=\frac13mg\sin\theta \) and \( N=mg\cos\theta \), so the required \( \mu=\frac{\tan\theta}{3}=\frac{\sqrt3}{3}=\frac1{\sqrt3} \).
2. Slipping starts when \( \frac{2-3x}{\sqrt3}=\frac{1}{\sqrt3} \), so \( x=\frac13 \) m. Hence \( P=1 \).

Question 28: A T-shaped object made of two uniform thin rods of the same material is lying on a smooth floor: the horizontal bar AB has length l and the stem has length 2l, joined at the middle of AB. A force F parallel to AB acts on the stem at a point P so that the object has pure translation with no rotation. The distance of P from the free end C of the stem is \( \frac xyl \) (x/y in lowest terms). The value of x + y is:
(a) 5
(b) 9
(c) 11
(d) 7
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 7

Explanation:
1. No rotation means the line of F passes through the centre of mass. Take masses proportional to length: bar mass \( \lambda l \), stem mass \( 2\lambda l \).
2. Measured down from AB, the centre of mass is at \( \frac{(2\lambda l)(l)}{3\lambda l}=\frac{2l}{3} \).
3. Distance from C \( =2l-\frac{2l}{3}=\frac43l \), so \( x=4,\ y=3 \) and \( x+y=7 \).

Question 29: Seven identical circular planar discs, each of mass M and radius R, are welded symmetrically, one at the centre and six touching it and each other around it. The moment of inertia of the arrangement about an axis normal to the plane through the contact point P of the central disc and one outer disc is \( \frac{(12x+9)}{2}MR^2 \). The value of x is:
(a) 5
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 6
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 5

Explanation:
1. Central disc: \( \frac12MR^2+MR^2=\frac32MR^2 \).
2. The six outer centres are at distance 2R from the middle. Their squared distances from P are \( R^2(1,3,7,9,7,3) \), total \( 30R^2 \). Outer discs: \( 6\cdot\frac12MR^2+30MR^2=33MR^2 \).
3. Total \( =34.5MR^2=\frac{69}{2}MR^2 \), so \( 12x+9=69 \) and \( x=5 \).
