3. \(OG\)
4. \(OF\)
The mass per unit length of a non-uniform rod of length \(L\) is given by \(\mu =λx^{2}\) where \(\lambda\) is a constant and \(x\) is the distance from one end of the rod. The distance between the centre of mass of the rod and this end is:

3. | \(\frac{3L}{4}\) | 4. | \(\frac{L}{3}\) |

A particle rotating on a circular path of the radius \(\frac{4}{\pi}~\text{m}\) at \(300\) rpm reaches \(600\) rpm in \(6\) revolutions. If the angular velocity increases at a constant rate, find the tangential acceleration of the particle:

2. \(12.5\) m/s2
3. \(25\) m/s2
4. \(50\) m/s2
The center of mass of a system of particles does not depend upon:
1. | position of particles |
2. | relative distance between particles |
3. | masses of particles |
4. | force acting on the particle |
A particle is moving with a constant velocity along a line parallel to the positive x-axis. The magnitude of its angular momentum with respect to the origin is:
1. | zero |
2. | increasing with \(x\) |
3. | decreasing with \(x\) |
4. | remaining constant |
A rigid body rotates with an angular momentum of \(L.\) If its kinetic energy is halved, the angular momentum becomes:

4. \(L/\)
A rod is falling down with constant velocity \(V_0\) as shown. It makes contact with hinge A and rotates around it. The angular velocity of the rod just after the moment when it comes in contact with hinge A is:

Two loads \(P_1\) \(P_2\)\((P_1>P_2)\) are connected by a string passing over a fixed pulley. The center of gravity of loads are initially at the same height. Find the acceleration of the center of gravity of the system:
