Question
A uniform sphere is placed on a smooth horizontal surface and a horizontal force F is applied on it at a distance h above the surface. The acceleration of the centre:
  1. Is maximum when h = 0.
  2. Is maximum when h = R.
  3. Is maximum when h = 2R.
  4. Is independent of h.
✓

Answer

  1. Is independent of h.

Explanation:

As the uniform sphere is placed on a smooth surface, the sphere only slips.

The acceleration of the centre of the sphere is given by,

$\frac{\text{Applied force}}{\text{Mass of the sphere}},$ which is independent of height h.

A student of mass $M$ is $1.5 \,m$ tall and has her centre of mass $1 \,m$ above ground when standing straight. She wants to jump up vertically. To do so. she bends her knees so that her centre of mass is lowered by $0.2 \,m$ and then pushes the ground by a constant force F. As a result, she jumps up such that the maximum height of her feet is $0.3 \,m$ above ground. The ratio $F / Mg$ is
