Three particles A,B,C of mass m each are joined to each other by massless rigid rods to form an equilateral triangle of side a. Another particle of mass m hits B with a velocity v_(0) directed along BC as shown. The colliding particle stops immediately after impact. (i) Calculate the time required by the triangle ABC to complete half-revolution in its subsequent motion. (ii) What is the net displacement of point B during this interval ?

Answer»


Solution :
Structure will have translational motion of `C.M` and rotational motion about `C.M` From conservation of linear momentum
`mv_(0) = 3 mv_(CM)`
`v_(CM) = (v_(0))/(3)`
Impulse received by particle is `mv_(0)`. Same and opposite impulse will be received by structure so angular impulse `= I omega`
`mv_(0) xx (a)/(2 sqrt(3)) = 3m ((a)/(sqrt(3)))^(2) xx omega`
`omega = (v_(0))/(2 sqrt(3) a)`
(i) time taken to complete half REVOLUTION `= (PI)/(omega)`
`t = (pi)/((v_(0)//2 sqrt(3a))) rArr t = (2 sqrt(3) pi a)/(v_(0)) rArr t = (6 pi a)/(sqrt(3) v_(0))`
(ii) linear displacement
=`sqrt((d+a)^(2) + ((a)/(sqrt(3)))^(2)) = sqrt((v_(CM) t + a)^(2) + ((a)/(sqrt(3)))^(2))`
=`sqrt((v_(0)/(3) xx (6 PIA)/(sqrt(3) v_(0)) +a)^(2) + ((a)/(sqrt(3)))^(2)) =sqrt((a^(2))/(3) (2 pi + sqrt(3))^(2) + (a^(2))/(3)) = (a)/(sqrt(3)) sqrt((2 pi + sqrt(3))^(2) + 1)`.

A woman throws an object of mass 500g with a speed of 25 ms^(-1) . (a) What is the impulse imparted to the object? (b) If the object hits a wall and rebounds with half the original speed what is the change in momentum of the object ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Here, ` m = 500 g = (1)/(2) KG , u = 25 ms^(-1) `
(a) Impulse IMPARTED = change in momentum = initial momentum given ` m u = (1)/(2) xx25 = 12.5 Ns `
(b) On rebounding force the wall ` UPSILON = -(1)/(2) xx 25 = - 12.5 m//s `
Change in momentum ` = m (upsilon- u ) = (1)/(2) (-12.5- 25) = - 18.75 kg ms^(-1)` .

Explain with the help of Bernoulli's principle that why does a spinning ball follows a curve path during flight ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Ball moving withou spin :

Streamlines for a fluid around non - spin ball
In above fihure , the streamlines around a non - spinning ball moving relative to the fluid.
It is clear that the velocity of fluid (air) above and below the ball at corresponding points is the same resulting in zero pressure DIFFERENCE.
Air therefore , EXERTS no UPWARD or downwardforce on the ball .
Ball moving with spin : As a result there isan upward force resulting in a dynamic LIFT of the wings .

In above figure a spinning ball is shown .
A spinning ball drags airalong with it.
If surface is rough more air drags.
The crowding of streamlines ay above the ball indicates high velocity and low pressure , while the sparse streamlines below the ball indicates low velocity and high pressure.
Thus difference in velocities of air results in the pressure difference between the lower and UPPER faces and there is a net upward force on the ball .
This dynamic lift due to spinning is called
Magnus effect.

Three rods of materialX andthree rodsof materail Y are connected as shown in figure. All therodsare of idental lengthand cross- sectionareas. If theend Ais maintained at 60^(@) C and the junction E at 10^(@)C , calculate the temperature of thejunction B, C and D . The thermalconductivityof X is 9.2 xx 10^(-2)kilocal/m""^(@)C s andthat of Y is 4.6 xx 10^(-2) kilocal/m""^(@)C s.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Let `theta_(B), theta_(C)`and `theta_(D)`be thetemperature of junctionB,C and Drespectively at staady STATE . Let `K_(x)` and `k_(y)`
be thermalconductivites of rodsof materialX and Y respectively .
The concept in solving the problem is that in steady state heat enteringper SECONDAT anyjunctionmust be EQUALTO thatleaving the junction.

As `K_(x) = 9.2 xx 10^(-2)`
ans `K_(y) = 4.6 xx 10^(-2) kilocal m^(-1) (""^(@)C)^(-1) (sec)^(-1)`
i.e..,`(K_(x))/(K_(y)) = (9.2 xx 10^(-2))/(4.6 xx 10^(-2))2 `
Let `K_(x) = 2K, K_(y) = K`
(or) `(K_(y)A(60-theta_(B)))/(l) = (K_(x)A(theta_(B) - theta_(C)))/(l) + (K_(y) A(theta_(B) - theta_(C)))/(l)`
(or)`K (60 - theta_(B)) = 2K(theta_(B) - theta_(C))+ K(theta_(b) - theta_(D)) therefore (60-theta_(B)) = 2(theta_(B) - theta_(C)) + theta_(B) - theta_(D)`
`therefore4 theta_(B) - 2 theta_(C) - 2 theta_(D) = 60...........(1)`
Forjunction `C_(1),H_(1) = H_(3) + H_(5) therefore(K_(y)A(theta_(B) - theta_(C)))/(l) = (K_(x)A(theta_(c) - 10))/(l) + (k_(y)A(theta_(D) - 10))/(l)`
Thisgives `therefore theta_(B) - 3 theta_(C)+ theta_(D) = - 10..........(2)`
For junction D, `H_(2) + H_(3)= H_(5)therefore(k_(y) A(theta_(B) - theta_(D)))/(l) + (k_(y)A(theta_(C) - theta_(D)))/(l) = (k_(y) A(theta_(D) - 10))/(l)`
(or) ` K(theta_(B) - theta_(D)) + 2K(theta_(C) - theta_(D)) = k(theta_(D) - 10)`
Thisgives `theta_(B) +2theta_(C) - 4 theta_(D)= - 10..............(3)`from (2) and (3)
`THETA _(B)-3theta_(C) - theta_(D) = theta_(B) + 2 theta_(C) - 4 theta_(D)`
i.e., `5theta_(C) = 5 theta_(D) "" or "" theta_(C) = theta_(D) ............(4)`Substituting this in (1) and (2), we get .
` 4 theta_(B) - 3 theta_(C) = 60.............(5) , theta_(B) - 2theta_(C) = - 10............(6)`
Solving (5) and (6), we get `theta_(B) = 30^(@)C, theta_(C) = 20^(@)C`
As `theta_(c) = theta_(D)"" therefore "" theta_(C) = theta_(D) = 20^(@)C`
`therefore` Thus the temperatureof junction , B, Cand D are `30^(@),20^(@)C and 20^(@)C`respectively.

What is specific heat ? Give its unit and on which factors does specific heat depends upon ?

Answer»

Solution :The amount of HEAT absorbed or REJECTED to CHANGE the temperature of UNIT mass of it by one unit. This QUANTITY is referred to as the specific heat capacity of the substance.
If `DeltaQ` stands for the amount of heat absorbed or rejected by a substance of mass m when it undergoes a temperature change `DeltaT`, then the specific heat capacity, of that substance is given by
`s=(S)/(m)=(DeltaQ)/(mDeltaT)`
`:.DeltaQ="ms"DeltaT`
The specific heat capacity is the property of the substance which determines the change in the temperature of the substance (undergoing no phase change) when a given quantity of heat is absorbed (or rejected) by it.
It depends on the neture of the substance and its temperature.
The SI unit of specific heat capacity is `"J kg"^(-1)K^(-1)` and dimensional formula is `M^(0)L^(2)T^(-2)K^(-1)`.

For `m_(3) , x_(3) = a hati , y_(3) = b HATJ`
For `m_(4) , x_(4) = 0, y_(4) = b hatj`
Co-ordinates of centre of mass of the SYSTEM
are `X = (m_(1)x_(1) + m_(2)x_(2) + m_(3)x_(3) + m_(4)x_(4))/(m_(1) + m_(2) + m_(3) + m_(4))`
`= (1 xx 0 + 2 (a hati) + 3 (a hati) + 4 xx 0)/(1 + 2+ 3+ 4) = 0.5 a hati`
`y = (m_(1)y_(1) + m_(2)y_(2) + m_(3)y_(3) + m_(4)y_(4))/(m_(1) + m_(2) + m_(3) + m_(4))`
`= (1 xx 0 + 2 xx 0 + 3 xx b hatj + 4 xx b hatj)/(1 + 2+ 3+ 4) = 0.7 b hatj`
Position of centre of mass of the system is
`[0.5 a hatj + 0.7 b hatj]`

A fully loaded Boeing aircraft has a mass of 3.3xx10^(5) kg, its total wing area is 500m^(2). It is in level flight with a speed of 960 km/h. a. Estimate the pressure difference between the lower andupper surfaces of the wings b. Estimate the fractional increases in the speed of the air upper surface of the wing relative to the lower surface. (The density of air is rho=1.2kgm^(-3))

Answer»

Solution :a. The weight of the Boeing aricraft is BALANCED by the upward force DUE to the pressure difference
`DeltaPxxA=3.3xx10^(5)kg xx9.8`
`DeltaP=(3.3xx10^(5)kgxx9.8ms^(-2))//500m^(2)`
`=6.5xx10^(3)Nm^(-2)`
b. We ignore the small height difference between the TOP andbottom sides in Eq. The pressure difference between them is then
`DELTA=(rho)/2(v_(2)^(2)-v_(1)^(2))`
Where `v_(2)` is the speed of air over the upper surface and `v_(1)` is the speed under the bottom surface.
`(v_(2)-v_(1s))=(2Deltarho)/(rho(v_(2)-v_(1))`
Taking the average speed
`v_(av)=(v_(2)+v_(1))//2=960km//h=267ms^(-1)`, we have
`(v_(2)-v_(1s))//v_(av)=(DeltaP)/(rho v_(av)^(2))~~0.08`
The speed above the wing needs to be only 8% higher than that below.

A person does 30 kJ work on 2 kg of water by stirring using a paddle wheel. While stirring, around 5 kcal of heat is released from water through its container to the surface and surroundings by thermal conduction and radiation. What is the change in internal energy of the system?

Answer»

Solution :Work done on the system (by the PERSON while stirring), `W =- 30 KJ = - 30,000 J`
Heat flowing out of the system, `Q = -" 5 kcal"= -5 XX 4184 J = 20920 J`
Using First law of thermodynamics `Delta U=Q-W`
`Delta U=-20,920J-(30,000)J`
`DeltaU=-20,920J+30,000J=9080J`
Here, the heat LOST is than the work done on the system, so that CHANGE in internal energy is positive.

A vessel contains oil of density 0.8gm//cm^(3) over mercury of density 13.6gm//cm^(3) .Solid sphere floats with half of its volume immersed in mercury and the other half in the oil . The density of the sphere is ….. gm//cm^(3).

Answer»

`3.3`
`6.4`
`7.2`
`12.8`

Solution :
LET density of sphere is `rho` ,
Density of oil is `rho_(1)` and density of mercury is `rho_(2)` Weight of sphere `W=(4)/(3)PIR^(3)rhog`….(1)
Where R= RADIUS of sphere
BUOYANT force on sphere in oil ,
`F_(1)=(2)/(3)piR^(3)rho_(1)g`....(2)
Buoyant force on sphere in mercury,
`F_(2)=(2)/(3)piR^(2)rho_(2)g`....(3)
Weight of sphere `W=F_(1)+F_(2)`
`therefore(4)/(3)piR^(3)rhog=(2)/(3)piR^(3)rho_(1)g+(2)/(3)piR^(3)rho_(2)g`
`therefore2rho=rho_(1)+rho_(2)`
`therefore2rho=0.8+13.6`
`therefore2rho=14.4`
`thereforerho=7.2gcm^(-3)`
