(a) a horse cannot pull a cart and run in empty
space.
(b) passengers are thrown forward from their seats
when a speeding bus stops suddenly.
(c) It is easier to pull a lawn mower than to push it.
15. A student holds two dumbbells without stretched
arms while standing on a turntable. He is given a
push until he is rotating at a rate of 0.5 rps. Then the
student pulls the dumbbells towards his chest. What
is the new rate of rotation? Assume the dumbbells
are originally 60 cm from his axis of rotation and
are pulled into 10 cm from the axis of rotation. The

after the beginning of motion.
OR

their respective axes (normal to the disc and
passing through the centre) and rotating with
angular speeds w1 and w2 are brought into contact
face to face with their axes of rotation coincident.
(a) What is the angular speed of the two-disc system?
(b) Show that the kinetic energy of the combined

18. Sam went to shopping mall to purchase certain
goods .There he noticed an old lady struggling with
her shopping. Immediately he showed her the lift
and explained to her how it carries the load from
one floor to the next. Even then the old lady was
not convinced. Then Sam took her in the lift and
showed her how to operate it. That old lady was
very happy.
(a) What values does Sam possess?
(b) An elevator can carry a maximum load of
1800 kg in moving up with a constant speed of

19. A bob of mass m is suspended by a light string of
length L. It is imparted a horizontal velocity v0 at
the lowest point A such that it completes a semi-
circular trajectory in the vertical plane with the
string becoming slack only on reaching the topmost

rolling body (like a ring, disc, cylinder or sphere) at
the bottom of an inclined plane of a height h is given
by

axis, and R is the radius of the body. The body starts
from rest at the top of the plane.
