For question numbers 7 and 8, two statements are given-one labelled

Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to
these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
a) BothAand Rare true and Ris the correct explanation of A
b) Both Aand Rare true but RisNOT the correct explanationof A
c) Ais true but R is false
d) A is false but R is true

7. Assertion (A): Aladder is more apt to slip when you are high up on it than [1]
when you just begin to climb.
Reason: At the highest point on the ladder, the torque is large and on climbing
up the torque is small.
8. Assertion: The angle of contact of a liquid decreases with increase in
temperature.
Reason:With increase in temperature, the surface tension of liquid increases.

If the moment of inertia of the disc about an axis passing through the edge and
perpendicular to its plane remains I, then find the relation between Rand r.

17. Read the passage and answer the following
questions:
(4]
The centre of mass of a body or asystem of
bodies is the point which moves as
though allthe mass were concentrated there and all
external forces were
 applied to it. Hence, a point at which the entire mass of the body or system of
bodies is supposed to be concentrated is known as the centre of mass.
external
Ifasystem consists of more than one particle (or bodies) and net
force on the system in aparticular direction is zero with centre of mass at rest.
Then, the centre of mass will not move along that direction. Even though some
particles of the system may move along that direction.

respectively. What are the coordinates of the centre of mass?

á) (1, 10/3)
b) (1,0)
c) (0,1)
d) None of these
