Assertion : Angle of repose is equal to the angle of limiting friction.
Reason : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called limiting friction.
A proton and an $\alpha -$ particle (with their masses in the ratio of $1 : 4$ and charges in the ratio of $1:2$ are accelerated from rest through a potential difference $V$. If a uniform magnetic field $(B)$ is set up perpendicular to their velocities, the ratio of the radii $r_p : r_{\alpha }$ of the circular paths described by them will be
A tuning fork of frequency $512\, Hz$ makes $4$ beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to $2$ beats per sec when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was .... $Hz$
A thin uniform rod, pivoted at $O$, is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed $\omega$, as shown in the figure. At time, $t =0$, a small insect starts from $O$ and moves with constant speed $v$ with respect to the rod towards the other end. It reaches the end of the rod at $t = T$ and stops. The angular speed of the system remains $\omega$ throughout. The magnitude of the torque $(|\vec{\tau}|)$ on the system about $O$, as a function of time is best represented by which plot?
