A meter scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies:
1. | the force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale. |
2. | the force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about the centre of mass of the scale is also zero. |
3. | the total force acting on it need not zero but the torque on it is zero. |
4. | neither the force nor the torque needs to be zero. |
The net external torque on a system of particles about an axis is zero. Which of the following are compatible with it?
(a) | The forces may be acting radially from a point on the axis. |
(b) | The forces may be acting on the axis of rotation. |
(c) | The forces may be acting parallel to the axis of rotation. |
(d) | The torque caused by some forces may be equal and opposite to that caused by other forces. |
Choose the correct option.
1. (a, c, d)
2. (a, b, d)
3. (a, b, c, d)
4. (b, c, d)
The figure shows a lamina in \(\text{XY}\)-plane. Two axes \(\text{z}\) and \(z'\) pass perpendicular to its plane. A force \(\vec{F}\) acts in the plane of the lamina at point P as shown. (The point \(\text{p}\) is closer to the \(z'\)-axis than the \(\text{z}\)-axis.)
(a) | torque \(\vec{\tau}\) caused by \(\vec{F}\) about \(\text{z}\)-axis is along - \(\hat{k}\) |
(b) | torque \(\vec{\tau}'\) caused by \(\vec{F}\) about \(z'\)-axis is along - \(\hat{k}\) |
(c) | torque caused by \(\vec{F}\) about the \(\text{z}\)-axis is greater in magnitude than that about the z'-axis |
(d) | total torque is given by \(\vec{\tau}_{net}=\vec{\tau}+\vec{\tau}'\) |
Choose the correct option:
1. (c, d)
2. (a, c)
3. (b, c)
4. (a, b)
