(D) Now it is circular path. (X)
3. A ball of mass (m) 0.5 kg is attached to the end of a string having length (L) 0.5 m. The ball is
rotated on a horizontal circular path about vertical axis. The maximum tension that the string
can bear is 324 N. The maximum possible value of angular velocity of ball (in radian/s) is

4. Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed about its centre
O. The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the
other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown, two pebbles P
and Q are simultaneously projected at an angle towards R. The velocity of projection is in the
y-z plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that (i) they land back
1
on the disc before the disc has completed rotation, (ii) their range is less than half the disc
8
radius, and (iii) remains constant throughout. Then [IIT-JEE-2012]
P
v = P.
R2 > R1 V2 > V1 (due to inertial)
Relative velocity
So both are land on unshaded portion
