Ans: 1
Geometric centre; No
The centre of mass (C.M.) is a point where the mass of a body is supposed to be concentrated. For the given geometric shapes having a uniform mass density, the C.M. lies at their respective geometric centres.
The centre of mass of a body need not necessarily lie within it. For example, the C.M. of bodies such as a ring, a hollow sphere, etc., lies outside the body.

Ans: 2
The given situation can be shown as:

Distance between H and Cl atoms = 1.27Å
Mass of H atom = m
Mass of Cl atom = 35.5m
Let the centre of mass of the system lie at a distance xfrom the Cl atom.
Distance of the centre of mass from the H atom = (1.27 – x)
Let us assume that the centre of mass of the given molecule lies at the origin. Therefore, we can have:

Here, the negative sign indicates that the centre of mass lies at the left of the molecule. Hence, the centre of mass of the HCl molecule lies 0.037Å from the Cl atom.

Ans: 3
No change
The child is running arbitrarily on a trolley moving with velocityv. However, the running of the child will produce no effect on the velocity of the centre of mass of the trolley. This is because the force due to the boy’s motion is purely internal. Internal forces produce no effect on the motion of the bodies on which they act. Since no external force is involved in the boy–trolley system, the boy’s motion will produce no change in the velocity of the centre of mass of the trolley.

The two moments of inertia are related as:

Since no external force acts on the boy, the angular momentum Lis a constant.
Hence, for the two situations, we can write:

Using the first equation of motion, we can obtain the time of roll as:
v= u + at


From equations (ii) and (iii), we get:

Hence, the given result is proved.

Ans: 28
vA = Rωo;vB = Rωo; ; The disc will not roll
Angular speed of the disc = ωo
Radius of the disc = R
Using the relation for linear velocity, v = ωoR
For point A:
vA = Rωo; in the direction tangential to the right
For point B:
vB = Rωo; in the direction tangential to the left
For point C:
in the direction same as that of vA
The directions of motion of points A, B, and C on the disc are shown in the following figure

Since the disc is placed on a frictionless table, it will not roll. This is because the presence of friction is essential for the rolling of a body.

Ans: 29
A torque is required to roll the given disc. As per the definition of torque, the rotating force should be tangential to the disc. Since the frictional force at point B is along the tangential force at point A, a frictional force is required for making the disc roll.
(a) Force of friction acts opposite to the direction of velocity at point B. The direction of linear velocity at point B is tangentially leftward. Hence, frictional force will act tangentially rightward. The sense of frictional torque before the start of perfect rolling is perpendicular to the plane of the disc in the outward direction.
(b) Since frictional force acts opposite to the direction of velocity at point B, perfect rolling will begin when the velocity at that point becomes equal to zero. This will make the frictional force acting on the disc zero.

Ans: 30
Disc
Radii of the ring and the disc, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m
Initial angular speed, ω0=10 π rad s–1
Coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.2
Initial velocity of both the objects, u = 0
Motion of the two objects is caused by frictional force. As per Newton’s second law of motion, we have frictional force, f= ma
μkmg= ma
Where,
a = Acceleration produced in the objects
m = Mass
a = μkg … (i)
As per the first equation of motion, the final velocity of the objects can be obtained as:
v = u + at
= 0 + μkgt
= μkgt … (ii)
The torque applied by the frictional force will act in perpendicularly outward direction and cause reduction in the initial angular speed.
Torque, τ= –
α = Angular acceleration
μxmgr = –

Using the first equation of rotational motion to obtain the final angular speed:

Rolling starts when linear velocity, v = rω

Equating equations (ii) and (v), we get:



Since td > tr, the disc will start rolling before the ring.

(a) Using Newton’s second law of motion, we can write net force as:
fnet= ma

(b) During rolling, the instantaneous point of contact with the plane comes to rest. Hence, the work done against frictional force is zero.
(c) For rolling without skid, we have the relation:


Ans: 32
(a) False
Frictional force acts opposite to the direction of motion of the centre of mass of a body. In the case of rolling, the direction of motion of the centre of mass is backward. Hence, frictional force acts in the forward direction.
(b) True
Rolling can be considered as the rotation of a body about an axis passing through the point of contact of the body with the ground. Hence, its instantaneous speed is zero.
(c) False
When a body is rolling, its instantaneous acceleration is not equal to zero. It has some value.
(d) True
When perfect rolling begins, the frictional force acting at the lowermost point becomes zero. Hence, the work done against friction is also zero.
(e) True
The rolling of a body occurs when a frictional force acts between the body and the surface. This frictional force provides the torque necessary for rolling. In the absence of a frictional force, the body slips from the inclined plane under the effect of its own weight.

Position vector of the ith particle with respect to the centre of mass = ri
Position vector of the centre of mass with respect to the origin = R
It is given that:
ri = ri R
ri = r’i + R
We have from part (a),
