A solid cylinder and a solid sphere, both having the same mass and radius, are released from a rough inclined plane. Both roll without slipping. Then,

1.  the force of friction that acts on the two is the same

2.  the force of friction is greater in the case of a sphere than in a cylinder

3.  the force of friction is greater in the case of a cylinder than in a sphere

4.  the force of friction will depend on the nature of the surface of the body that is moving and that of the inclined surface and is independent of the shape and size of the moving body

A rigid body rotates about a fixed axis with a variable angular velocity equal to \(\alpha -\beta t\), at the time \(t\), where \(\alpha , \beta\) are constants. The angle through which it rotates before it stops is:

A body falling vertically downward under gravity breaks into two parts of unequal masses. The center of mass of the parts taken together shifts horizontally towards

1.  heavier piece 

2.  lighter piece 

3.  does not shift horizontally 

4.  depends on the vertical velocity at the time of breaking 

A cord is wound round the circumference of wheel of radius r. The axis of the wheel is horizotal and moment of inertia about it is I. A weight mg is attached to the end of the cord and falls from rest. After falling through a distance h, the angular velocity of the wheel will be

1. $\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{I+mr}}$

2. $\sqrt{\frac{2mgh}{I+m{r}^2}}$

3. ${\left[\frac{2mgh}{I+2m}\right]}^{\frac{1}{2}}$

4. $\sqrt{2gh}$

If a force acts on a body at a point away from the centre-of-mass, then:

A particle of mass \(m\) moves in the\(XY\) plane with a velocity of \(v\) along the straight line \(AB.\) If the angular momentum of the particle about the origin \(O\) is \(L_A\) when it is at \(A\) and \(L_B\) when it is at \(B,\) then:

A disc and a solid sphere of the same radius but different masses roll off on two inclined planes of the same altitude and length. Which one of the two objects gets to the bottom of the plane first?

1.  Disk

2.   Sphere

3.  Both reach at the same time

4.  Depends on their masses

Moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc about a diameter is I. Its moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through a point on its rim will be

1.  5 I

2.  3 I

3.  6 I

4.  4 I

In the following figure, a weight W is attached to a string wrapped round a solid cylinder of mass M mounted on a frictionless horizontal axle at O.

If the weight starts from rest and falls a distance h, then its speed at that instant is

1. Proportional to \(\text R\)

2. Proportional to \(1 \over R\)

3. Proportional to \(1 \over R^2\)

4. Independent of \(\text R\)
