Why does the internal forces acting on the centre of mass of the system be neglected ?
$A$ block of mass $m$ is attached to a pulley disc of equal mass $m$, radius $r$ by means of a slack string as shown. The pulley is hinged about its centre on a horizontal table and the block is projected with an initial velocity of $5\, m/s$. Its velocity when the string becomes taut will be
A uniform solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$ rotates about a frictionless horizontal axle. Two similar masses suspended with the help two ropes wrapped around the cylinder. If the system is released from rest then the acceleration of each mass will be
What is pure translational motion ?
In the given figure linear acceleration of solid cylinder of mass $m_2$ is $a_2$. Then angular acceleration $\alpha_2$ is (given that there is no slipping).
How can general body be obtained ?
