A mass ‘m’ is supported by a massless string wound around a uniform hollow cylinder of mass m and radius R. If the string does not slip on the cylinder, with what acceleration will the mass fall on release?
2g/3
g/2
5g/6
5g/6
B.
g/2
For the mass m,
mg-T = ma
As we know, a = Rα ... (i)
So, mg-T = mRα
Torque about centre of pully
T x R = mR2α ...... (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
a = g/2
Hence, the acceleration of the mass of a body fall is g/2.
A block of mass m is placed on a surface with a vertical cross-section given by y = x3/6. If the coefficient of friction is 0.5, the maximum height above ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is
A.
A block of mass m is placed on a surface with vertical cross section, then
At limiting equilibrium, we get
μ = tan θ
0.5 = x2/2
⇒ x2 =1
⇒ x = ±1
Now, putting the value of x in y = x3/6, we get
When x =1
When x =-1
So, the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is 1/6m.
A particle of mass m moving in the x direction with speed 2v is hit by another particle of mass 2m moving in the y direction with speed v. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, the percentage loss in the energy during the collision is close to

Given in the figure are two blocks A and B of weight 20 N and 100 N respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force F as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is 0.1 and between block B and the wall is 0.15, the frictional force applied by the wall on block B is
100N
80 N
120 N
150 N
C.
120 N
In the vertical direction, weight are balanced by frictional forces.
As the blocks are in equilibrium balance forces are in horizontal and vertical direction.
For the system of blocks (A+B)
F = N
For block A, fA = 20 N and for block B.
fB = fA +100 = 120 N
A thin liquid film formed between a U-shaped wire and a light slider supports a weight of 1.5 x10–2N (see figure). The length of the slider is 30 cm and its weight negligible. The surface tension of the liquid film is
