3. Two point masses of 0.3 kg and 0.7 kg are fixed at the ends of a rod of length 1.4 m and of negligible mass. The rod is set rotating about an axis perpendicular to its length with a uniform angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass in order that the work required for rotation of the rod is minimum, is located at a distance of

a. 0.42 m from mass of 0.3 kg
b. 0.70 m from mass of 0.7 kg
c. 0.98 m from mass of 0.3 kg
d. 0.98 m from mass of 0.7 kg

4. If the distance between the earth and the sun were half its present value, the number of days in a year would have been

a. 64.5
b. 129
c. 182.5
d. 730






Revision Questions

1. A circular road of radius r is banked for a speed of v = 40 km/hr. A car of mass m attempts to go on the circular road. The friction coefficient between the tyre and the road is negligible.

a. The car cannot make a turn without skidding.
b. If the car turns at a speed less than 40 km/hr, it will slip down.
c. If the car turns at the correct speed of 40 km/hr, the force by the road on the car is equal to mv²/r.
d. If the car turns at the correct speed of 40 km/hr, the force by the road on the car is greater than mg as well as greater than mv²/r.
