MCQ
Three different objects of masses ${m_1},{m_2}$ and ${m_3}$ are allowed to fall from rest and from the same point $‘O’$ along three different frictionless paths. The speeds of the three objects, on reaching the ground, will be in the ratio of
  • A
    ${m_1}:{m_2}:{m_3}$
  • B
    ${m_1}:2{m_2}:3{m_3}$
  • $1:1:1$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{{{m_1}}}:\frac{1}{{{m_2}}}:\frac{1}{{{m_3}}}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1:1:1$
c
(c) Speed of the object at reaching the ground $v = \sqrt {2gh} $

If heights are equal then velocity will also be equal.

A thin uniform rod of length $L$ and certain mass is kept on a frictionless horizontal table with a massless string of length $L$ fixed to one end (top view is shown in the figure). The other end of the string is pivoted to a point $O$. If a horizontal impulse $P$ is imparted to the rod at a distance $x=L / n$ from the mid-point of the rod (see figure), then the rod and string revolve together around the point $O$, with the rod remaining aligned with the string. In such a case, the value of $n$ is. . . . . .
