Enter a numerical value Answer: 60 to 60 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula The magnitude of the angular momentum L of a particle of mass m moving with velocity v is: L = m v d where: * d is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation (origin) to the line of motion of the particle. ### Core Logic Given parameters: * Mass, m = 5text kg * Velocity, v = 3sqrt2text ms^-1 * Line of motion: y = x + 4 implies x - y + 4 = 0 ### Step 1: Calculate Perpendicular Distance The perpendicular distance d from the origin (0,0) to the line Ax + By + C = 0 is: d = frac|A(0) + B(0) + C|sqrtA^2 + B^2 For the line x - y + 4 = 0: d = frac|4|sqrt1^2 + (-1)^2 = frac4sqrt2 = 2sqrt2text m ### Step 2: Calculate Angular Momentum Substitute the values into the angular momentum formula: L = m v d L = 5text kg times (3sqrt2text ms^-1) times (2sqrt2text m) L = 5 times 3 times 4 = 60text kg m^2texts^-1 Thus, the angular momentum of the particle about the origin is 60text kg m^2texts^-1. ### Pattern Recognition Instead of complicated vector cross products, find the perpendicular distance of the straight line from the origin using standard coordinate geometry. L = mvd is extremely fast and reliable. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  • A. 2hatmathbfi + 3hatmathbfj
  • B. 3hatmathbfi + 7hatmathbfj
  • C. 5hatmathbfi + 8hatmathbfj
  • D. 4hatmathbfi + 9hatmathbfj

Solution

### Related Formula For a continuous system modeled as discrete point masses located at their respective centers of mass: x_textcom = fracm_1x_1 + m_2x_2m_1 + m_2 y_textcom = fracm_1y_1 + m_2y_2m_1 + m_2 ### Core Logic Let the uniform linear mass density of the rod be lambda. - Total length is 5L. - One segment of length 2L lies on the x-axis. Its mass is 2m = lambda(2L) and its center of mass is at (L, 0). - The remaining segment of length 3L lies on the y-axis. Its mass is 3m = lambda(3L) and its center of mass is at (0, 1.5L). ### Step 1: Calculate COM Coordinates Find the coordinates of the system's center of mass: x_textcom = frac2m(L) + 3m(0)2m + 3m = frac2L5 = 0.4L y_textcom = frac2m(0) + 3m(1.5L)2m + 3m = frac4.5L5 = 0.9L Given L = 10 mathrm~cm: x_textcom = 0.4 times 10 = 4 mathrm~cm y_textcom = 0.9 times 10 = 9 mathrm~cm ### Step 2: Vector Form Expressing in vector notation: vecr_textcom = 4hatmathbfi + 9hatmathbfj ### Pattern Recognition Sees: L-shaped rod formed by bending a total length L_texttotal. Shortcut: Treat each arm as a point mass at its geometric midpoint. For segments of ratio 2:3, the COM divides the distance between their midpoints in the inverse ratio 3:2 closer to the heavier segment on the y-axis. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: System of Particles and Rotational Motion

The moment of inertia of the given system about PQ is fracmathrmx15mathrmI, where I is the moment of inertia of the disc about its diameter. The value of x is
Numerical Answer. Answer: 199 to 199

Solution

### Related Formula Parallel Axis Theorem: I_textaxis = I_textcom + M R^2 Standard Moments of Inertia about center of mass: - Disc about diameter: I_textdisc,dia = fracMR^24 - Solid sphere: I_textsphere = frac25MR^2 - Spherical shell: I_textshell = frac23MR^2 ### Core Logic The axis of rotation PQ passes through the center of the top disc (A) along its diameter. - Top disc (A): I_A = fracMR^24 - Bottom-left solid sphere (B): Center lies at distance R from the axis PQ. I_B = I_textcom + M R^2 = frac25MR^2 + MR^2 = frac75MR^2 - Bottom-right spherical shell (C): Center lies at distance R from the axis PQ. I_C = I_textcom + M R^2 = frac23MR^2 + MR^2 = frac53MR^2 ### Step 1: Calculate Total System Moment of Inertia Sum the contributions: I_textPQ = I_A + I_B + I_C I_textPQ = fracMR^24 + frac75MR^2 + frac53MR^2 To add the fractions, find a common denominator (60): I_textPQ = left( frac15 + 84 + 10060 right) MR^2 = frac19960 MR^2 ### Step 2: Express in terms of standard Disc Moment We are given I = fracMR^24 implies MR^2 = 4I. Substitute this in the expression: I_textPQ = frac19960 (4I) = frac19915 I Comparing with I_textPQ = fracx15 I yields x = 199. ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Composite body consisting of three standard symmetric shapes about a tangent/offset axis. Shortcut: Sum the central inertia terms and the offset terms separately. Offset masses are only B and C, so the offset sum is 2MR^2. The central sum is (1/4 + 2/5 + 2/3)MR^2. Adding these directly yields the combined fractional factor of 199/60. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: System of Particles and Rotational Motion
Q2 jee_main_2025_08_april_evening Moment of Inertia
A rod of linear mass density lambda^prime and length L is bent to form a ring of radius R. Moment of inertia of ring about any of its diameter is:
  • A. fraclambda L^316pi^2
  • B. fraclambda L^312
  • C. fraclambda L^34pi^2
  • D. fraclambda L^38pi^2

Solution

### Related Formula I_textdia = frac12 M R^2 where, I_textdia = moment of inertia of a ring about its diameter M = total mass of the ring R = radius of the ring ### Core Logic Since the linear mass density is lambda^prime (or lambda as per the options), the total mass M of the rod of length L is: M = lambda L When this rod is bent into a ring of radius R, its circumference equals the length of the rod: 2pi R = L implies R = fracL2pi Substituting M and R into the formula for the moment of inertia about the diameter: I_textdia = frac12 M R^2 = frac12 (lambda L) left(fracL2piright)^2 = fraclambda L^38pi^2 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: "Rod of length L bent to form a ring" → R = fracL2pi. Trap: Moment of inertia about the central axis perpendicular to the plane is MR^2, but about its diameter, it is half, i.e., frac12MR^2. Shortcut: I = frac12 (lambda L) left(fracL2piright)^2 = fraclambda L^38pi^2. ✓ ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Rotational Motion
Q24 jee_main_2025_08_april_evening Angular Acceleration and Torque
A thin solid disk of 1mathrm~kg is rotating along its diameter axis at the speed of 1800mathrm~rpm. By applying an external torque of 25pimathrm~Ncdot m for 40mathrm~s, the speed increases to 2100mathrm~rpm. The diameter of the disk is ________ mathrm~m.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 40 to 40

Solution

### Related Formula omega = 2pi fracN60 omega_f = omega_i + alpha t tau = I alpha I_textdia = frac14 m R^2 where, N = rotational speed in rpm alpha = angular acceleration tau = torque applied I_textdia = moment of inertia of a solid disk about its diameter axis ### Core Logic Given parameters: - Mass, m = 1mathrm~kg - Initial speed, N_i = 1800mathrm~rpm implies omega_i = frac1800 times 2pi60 = 60pimathrm~rad/s - Final speed, N_f = 2100mathrm~rpm implies omega_f = frac2100 times 2pi60 = 70pimathrm~rad/s - Time, t = 40mathrm~s - Torque, tau = 25pimathrm~Ncdot m First, calculate the angular acceleration alpha: omega_f = omega_i + alpha t implies 70pi = 60pi + alpha (40) alpha = frac10pi40 = fracpi4mathrm~rad/s^2 Now relate torque to moment of inertia: tau = I alpha implies 25pi = left( frac14 m R^2 right) left( fracpi4 right) 25pi = frac14 (1) R^2 fracpi4 implies 25pi = R^2 fracpi16 R^2 = 400 implies R = 20mathrm~m ### Step 1: Compute Diameter The question asks for the diameter of the disk (D): D = 2R = 2 times 20 = 40mathrm~m ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Torque acting on a rotating disk increasing its speed. Trap: The axis of rotation is the *diameter* axis, not the normal geometric center axis. This means the moment of inertia is I = frac14 m R^2, not frac12 m R^2!

Q25 jee_main_2025_08_april_evening Torque and Equilibrium
A cube having a side of 10mathrm~cm with unknown mass and 200mathrm~gm mass were hung at two ends of an uniform rigid rod of 27mathrm~cm long. The rod along with masses was placed on a wedge keeping the distance between wedge point and 200mathrm~gm weight as 25mathrm~cm. Initially the masses were not at balance. A beaker is placed beneath the unknown mass and water is added slowly to it. At given point the masses were in balance and half volume of the unknown mass was inside the water. (Take the density of unknown mass is more than that of the water, the mass did not absorb water and water density is 1mathrm~g/cm^3.) The unknown mass is ________ mathrmkg.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 3 to 3

Solution

### Related Formula sum tau = 0 quad text(Rotational Equilibrium) F_textnet = m g - F_B F_B = rho_textwater V_textsubmerged g where, tau = torque about the wedge point F_B = buoyancy force ### Core Logic Let's list the geometric parameters from the setup: - Length of uniform rigid rod, L = 27mathrm~cm. - Wedge is positioned such that the distance to the 200mathrm~g (0.2mathrm~kg) weight is d_1 = 25mathrm~cm. - Therefore, the distance to the unknown mass M at the other end is d_2 = 27 - 25 = 2mathrm~cm. Calculate the volume of the cube: - Side of the cube, a = 10mathrm~cm = 0.1mathrm~m. - Volume, V = a^3 = 1000mathrm~cm^3 = 10^-3mathrm~m^3. When the system is balanced, half the volume of the cube is submerged in water: - Submerged volume, V_textsub = fracV2 = 500mathrm~cm^3 = 5 times 10^-4mathrm~m^3. - Buoyancy force: F_B = rho_w V_textsub g = 1000mathrm~kg/m^3 times left(5 times 10^-4mathrm~m^3right) times g = 0.5 gmathrm~N ### Step 1: Torque Balance Equation For rotational equilibrium, balance the torques about the wedge point O: - Torque on the left (unknown mass branch): tau_textleft = left(M g - F_Bright) times d_2 = (M g - 0.5 g) times 2 - Torque on the right (200mathrm~g mass branch): tau_textright = 0.2 g times d_1 = 0.2 g times 25 tau_textleft = tau_textright (M g - 0.5 g) times 2 = 0.2 g times 25 2 (M - 0.5) = 5 M - 0.5 = 2.5 implies M = 3mathrm~kg Thus, the unknown mass is 3mathrm~kg. ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Rod torque balance + buoyancy force on one end. Trap: Ensure you measure the distances from the pivot point (the wedge). The unknown mass is at 27 - 25 = 2mathrm~cm from the wedge. Shortcut: Since g appears in both gravity and buoyancy terms, it cancels out immediately. Balancing torque simplifies directly to resolving mass differences: 2(M - 0.5) = 0.2 times 25 = 5. This yields M = 3 instantly! ✓ ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Rotational Motion Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties of Fluids
