A uniform rod of length $'l'$ is pivoted at one of its ends on a vertical shaft of negligible radius When the shaft rotates at angular speed $\omega$ the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with it (see figure). To find $\theta$ equate the rate of change of angular momentum (direction going into the paper ) $\frac{ m \ell^{2}}{12} \omega^{2} \sin \theta \cos \theta$ about the centre of mass $(CM)$ to the torque provided by the horizontal and vertical forces $F_{H}$ and $F_{V}$ about the CM. The value of $\theta$ is then such that:
$\cos \theta=\frac{g}{2 \ell \omega^{2}}$
$\cos \theta=\frac{3 g}{2 \ell \omega^{2}}$
$\cos \theta=\frac{2 g}{3 \ell \omega^{2}}$
$\cos \theta=\frac{g}{\ell \omega^{2}}$
A car wetghs $1800\; kg$. The distance between its front and back axles is $1.8\; m$. Its centre of gravity is $1.05\; m$ behind the front axle. Determine the force exerted by the level ground on each front wheel and each back wheel.
A ring is formed by joining two uniform semi circular rings $ABC$ and $ADC$. Mass of $ABC$ is thrice of that of $ADC$. If the ring is hinged to a fixed support ,at $A$, it can rotate freely in a vertical plane. Find the value of $tan\,\theta$, where $\theta$ is the angle made. by the line $AC$ with the vertical in equilibrium
Write the condition for rotational equilibrium and translational equilibrium.
A disc of radius $20\, cm$ and mass half $kg$ is rolling on an inclined plane. Find out friction force so that disc performs pure rolling.
A metal bar $70 \;cm$ long and $4.00 \;kg$ in mass supported on two knife-edges placed $10\; cm$ from each end. A $6.00 \;kg$ load is suspended at $30\; cm$ from one end. Find the reactions at the knifeedges. (Assume the bar to be of uniform cross section and homogeneous.)
