MCQ
A weight can be hung in any of following four ways by using same string. In which case is  the string more likely to break is :-
  • A
    $A$
  • B
    $B$
  • $C$
  • D
    $D$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$C$
c
$2 \mathrm{T} \cos \theta=\mathrm{mg} ; \mathrm{T}=\frac{\mathrm{mg}}{2 \cos \theta}$

$\cos \theta$ less or $\theta$ more tension more

A particle of mass $5 × 10^{-5}\  kg$ is placed at lowest point of smooth parabola  $x^2$ = $40y$  ($x$ and $y$ in $m$) (in $rad/s$). If it is displaced slightly such that it is constrained to move along parabola, angular frequency of oscillation will be approximately
$A$ uniform rod is fixed to a rotating turntable so that its lower end is on the axis of the turntable and it makes an angle of $20^o$ to the vertical. (The rod is thus rotating with uniform angular velocity about a vertical axis passing through one end.) If the turntable is rotating clockwise as seen from above. What is the direction of the rod's angular momentum vector (calculated about its lower end)?
