Classical Mechanics MSC Physics I Mid Term Paper
Q-1: (a) What do you mean by frame of reference? What are inertial and non-inertial
frames? 2
(b) State and explain D Alembert’s Principle. 2
Q-2: A body of mass m splits into two masses of m1 and m2 by an explosion. After the split
the body moves with a total kinetic energy ‘T’ in the same direction. Show that their
relative speed is 3
OR
What are constraints? Explain the difference between holonomic and non- holonomic
constraints.
Q-3: A disc of mass m and radius r rolls down an inclined plane of angle Ø. find the
acceleration of the disc and the frictional force 3
OR
Find the law of force if a particle under central force moves under along the curve
r=a(1+cosØ)
