Question
A batsman deflects a ball by an angle of $45^{\circ}$ without changing its initial speed which is equal to $54 km / h$. What is the impulse imparted to the ball? (Mass of the ball is 0.15 kg .)

Answer
The ball struck by the bat is deflected back such that the total angle is $45^{\circ}$.
Now, initial momentum of ball $= mu \cos \theta$
$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{0.15 \times 54 \times 1000 \times \cos 22.5}{3600} \\
& =0.15 \times 15 \times 0.9239 \text { along ON }
\end{aligned}
$
Final momentum of ball $=$ mucos $\theta$ along ON
Impulse $=$ change in momentum
$=\operatorname{mucos} \theta-(-m u c o s \theta)$
$=2 mucos \theta$
$=2 \times 0.15 \times 15 \times 0.9239$
i.e., Impulse $=4.16 kg ms ^{-1}$

To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of 200rad s-1, an engine needs to transmit a torque of 180Nm. What is the power required by the engine?
(Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice, applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is 100% efficient.
