Two identical uniform discs roll without slipping on
two different surfaces AB and CD (see figure)
starting at A and C with linear speeds v, and vo,
respectively, and always remain in contact with the
surfaces. If they reach B and D with the same
linear speed and v1 = 3 m/s, then vg in m/s is (g =
10 m/s?)A horizontal circular platform of radius 0.5 m and
mass 0.45 kg is free to rotate about its axis. Two
massless spring toy-guns, each carrying a steel
ball of mass 0.05 kg are attached to the platform
at a distance 0.25 m from the centre on its either
sides along its diameter (see figure). Each gun
simultaneously fires the balls horizontally and
perpendicular to the diameter in opposite
directions. After leaving the platform, the balls
have horizontal speed of 9 ms’! with respect to the
ground. The rotational speed of the platform in rad

0.5 m is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless
surface. Three forces of equal magnitude F = 0.5
N are applied simultaneously along the three sides
of an equilateral triangle XYZ with its vertices on
the perimeter of the disc (see figure). One second

disc in rad s1 is

two cones at their vertices O. It is kept on two
rails AB and CD, which are placed
asymmetrically (see figure), with its axis
perpendicular to CD and its centre O at the
centre of line joining AB and CD. It is givena
light push so that it starts rolling with its centre
O moving parallel to CD in the direction shown.
As it moves, the roller will tend to:

thread (poin A) is directed along the horizontal. A board hinged at point B leans against the
bobbin (Figure). The inner and outer radii of the bobbin are r and R respectively. Determine the
angular velocity of the board as a function of an angle a.1.57. A round cone with half-angle a = 30° and the radius of the

A massless inextensible string of length D lies with one end fixed, while the other is attached
to one end of a uniform rod of length L. The system is initially at rest with the rod aligned
along the 2-axis and the string stretched to its natural length at an angle with the negative y-axis

dimensions is fired horizontally along the posi y-direction. "The bullet hits the rod at its right
end with velocity #, and gets lodged in it, the impact being nearly instantaneous, What is the
tension (7) in the string immediately after the impact? Assume the string doesn’t break.Consider a long, solid, rigid, regular hexagonal prism like a common type of pencil (Figure

a) (3.5 points) The prism is initially at rest with its axis horizontal on an inclined plane
which makes a small angle @ with the horizontal (Figure 1.2). Assume that the surfaces
of the prism are slightly concave so that the prism only touches the plane at its edges.
The effect: of this concavity on the moment. of inertia can be ignored. The prism is now
displaced from rest and starts an uneven rolling down the plane. Assume that friction
prevents any sliding and that the prism does not lose contact with the plane. The angular
velocity just before a given edge hits the plane is w; while wy is the angular velocity
immediately after the impact.
