Question
A table with smooth horizontal surface is fixed in a cabin that rotates with a uniform angular velocity $\omega$ in a circular path of radius R (In figure). A smooth groove AB of length L(<<R) is made on the surface of the table. The groove makes an angle $\theta$ with the radius OA of the circle in which the cabin rotates. A small particle is kept at the point A in the groove and is released to move along AB. Find the time taken by the particle to reach the point B.

Answer


The cabin rotates with angular velocity $\omega$ & radius R

$\therefore$ The particle experiences a force $\text{mR}\omega^2$

The component of $\text{mR}\omega^2$ along the groove provides the required force to the particle to move along AB.

$\therefore$ $\text{mR}\omega^2\cos\theta=\text{ma}$

$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\text{R}\omega^2\cos\theta$

length of groove = L

$\text{L}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{at}^2$

$\Rightarrow\text{L}=\frac{1}{2}\text{R}\omega^2\cos\theta\text{ t}^2$

$\Rightarrow\text{t}^2=\frac{2\text{L}}{\text{R}\omega^2\cos\theta}$

$\Rightarrow\text{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{L}}{\text{R}\omega^2\cos\theta}}$

An ideal gas is trapped between a mercury column and the closed-end of a narrow vertical tube of uniform base containing the column. The upper end of the tube is open to the atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure equals 76cm of mercury. The lengths of the mercury column and the trapped air column are 20cm and 43cm respectively. What will be the length of the air column when the tube is tilted slowly in a vertical plane through an angle of 60°? Assume the temperature to remain constant.

The gravitational attraction between electron and proton in a hydrogen atom is weaker than the coulomb attraction by a factor of about 10–40. An alternative way of looking at this fact is to estimate the radius of the first Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom if the electron and proton were bound by gravitational attraction. You will find the answer interesting.
