SYSTEMS OF PARTICLE AND ROTATIONAL MOTION

01. Derive an expression for centre of mass of a two particle system. Where does the centre of mass of two particle
system of equal mass lie and how does the position of the centre of mass of two particle system change if mass of
one of the particle continuously decreases?

02. Derive equations of motion of rotational motion of a body.

03. On the application of a constant torque, a wheel is turned from rest through 400 radians in 10 seconds. Find out
angular acceleration. If same torque continues to act, what will be angular velocity of the wheel after 20 sec from
start?

04. Derive an expression for moment of inertia of a lamina from Kinetic energy of rotation.

05. Derive a relationship between torque and moment of inertia (ii) angular momentum and moment of inertia

06. Assertion: The centre of mass can be inside or outside the rigid body at which whole mass is assumed to be
concentrated.
Reason : Centre of mass of the body depends on the distribution of mass

07. Assertion: The instantaneous acceleration of the point of contact during rolling is zero
Reason : For rolling body the instantaneous acceleration is always zero

08. Four bodies have arranged at the corners of a rectangle as shown. Find the
centre of mass of the system.

09. A 2kg body and a 3 kg body are moving along the x axis. At a particular instant, the 2 kg body is 1m from the
origin and has a velocity of 3 m/s and the 3 kg body is 2 m from the origin and has velocity of -1 m/s. Find the
position and velocity of the centre of mass and also find the total momentum .
