the body is also equal to zero. On the other hand, in according with work-energy theorem
AT is equal to the algebraic sum of the works A performed by all the forces, i.e. by the
force F and gravity, over this path. However, since AT= 0 then A= 0. Taking into

the integrals do not depend on the shape of the path. They are defined only by the coordinate

To complete a smooth vertical track of radius R, the minimum height at which a particle

As the closed system consisting two particles
m, and of m, is initially at rest the C.M. of
the system will remain at rest. Further as
m,= m,/2, the C.M. of the system divides the
line joining m, and m, at all the moments of
time in the ratio 1 : 2. In addition to it the
total linear momentum of the system at all the
times is zero. So, p, =p, and therefore the
velocities of m, and m, are also directed in
opposite sense. Bearing in mind all these thing,
the sought trajectory is as shown in the figure.
First of all, it is clear that the chain does not
move in the vertical direction during the
uniform rotation. This means that the vertical
component of the tension T balances gravity.
As for the horizontal component of the tension
T, it is constant in magnitude and permanently
directed toward the rotation axis. It follows from.
this that the C.M. of the chain, the point C,
travels along horizontal circle of radius p (say).

centre of mass. As this frame is a non-inertial frame (accelerated with respect to the
ground) we have to apply a pseudo force m,a towards left on the block mand m, a
towards left on the block m,
As the center of mass is at rest in this frame,
the blocks move in opposite directions and
come to instantaneous rest at some instant. The
elongation of the spring will be maximum or
minimum at this instant. Assume that the block
m, is displaced by the distance x, and the block
m, through a distance x, from the initial
positions.

Since a length of chain of weight (Ayg) already lies on the table the total force on the

(a) The disc experiences gravity, the force of
reaction of the horizontal surface, and the force
R of reaction of the wall at the moment of the
impact against it. The first two forces
counter-balance each other, leaving only the g
force R. It’s moment relative to any point of A
the line along which the vector R acts or along
normal to the wall is equal to zero and therefore “ >
the angular momentum of the disc relative to 9
any of these points does not change in the given
process.
(b) During the course of collision with wall
the position of disc is same and is equal to

momentum of the ball Ap™= 2mv cos a”
Here, AM = 72, x Ap™= 2 mv cos an and directed normally emerging from the plane of

Thus |AM|= 2mvlcosa
(a) The ball is under the influence of forces T and m g’at all the moments of time, while

So the net moment of these two about any point becoems zero. The horizontal component
of T, which provides the centripetal acceleration to ball is already directed toward the
centre (C) of the horizontal circle, thus its moment about the point C equals zero at all
the moments of time. Hence the net moment of the force acting on the ball about point
C equals zero and that’s why the angular mommetum of the ball is conserved about the
horizontal circle.
(b) Let o be the angle which the thread forms
with the vertical.

The Coriolis force is.(2m 0" x @).
Here @ is along the z-axis (vertical). The moving disc is moving with velocity vy which
is constant. The motion is along the x-axis say. Then the Coriolis force is along y-axis
and has the magnitude 2m vo. At time ¢, the distance of the centre of moving disc from
O is vot (along x-axis). Thus the torque N due to the coriolis force is
N= 2mvg eve along the z-axis.
