    1. The document contains a 4 question quiz on general physics concepts. The first question involves finding the tension in a rope and forces on a pivoted plank. The second question involves calculating the speed of the center of mass and angular velocity after an object collides with a dumbbell. The third question is about the change in a spring scale reading when a ship turns around on the equator. The fourth question provides a formula for the deflection of a plumb line from true vertical at a given latitude.

    GENERAL PHYSICS B (PH 1038)

    QUIZ 2

    Please show your SOLUTIONS in the answer sheet neatly.

    1. A 3-kg plank of length L = 2 m is pivoted freely at one end and has a rope attached to the other
    end, as shown in Figure 1. The rope is attached to the wall at a distance h = 0.8 m. Above the
    pivot and the rod is at an angle = 20o below the horizontal. Find: (a) the tension in the rope; (b)
    the horizontal and vertical forces exerted by the pivot.

    2. A particle of mass m = 0.5-kg moving at speed u = 4m/s strikes a dumbbell consisting of two
    blocks of equal mass M = 1-kg separated by a massless rod of length 2 m (Figure 2). The
    dumbbell and the particle are free to slide on a horizontal surface. Find: (a) the speed of the
    center of mass of the system after the particle stick to one of the blocks; (b) the angular velocity
    of the system about the center of mass.

    3. A ship sails along the equator at speed v relative to the surface. A particle of mass m is
    suspended on a spring scale. Show that when the ship makes a U-turn the reading change by
    4mv, where is the angular velocity of the earth.

    4. Show that the deflection of a plumb line from the true vertical (radial line) at latitude is given
    2 R sin2
    sin =
    by 2g , where << (Figure 3).
