SECTION-1 : (Only One option correct type)

This section contains 3 multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices (A), (B), (C) and
(D) out of which ONLY ONE is correct.

1. A small ball moves at a constant velocity  along a horizontal surface and at point A falls into a vertical
well of depth H and radius r. The velocity  of the ball forms an angle  with the diameter of the well
drawn through point A (Refer figure, top view). Friction losses should be neglected. Relation between ,
H, r and  for which the ball can "get out" of the well after elastic impacts with the walls will be.

Sol. Figure shows the top view of the trajectory of the ball. Since the collisions of the ball with the wall and
the bottom of the well are elastic, the magnitude of the horizontal component of the ball velocity
remains unchanged and equal to . The horizontal distances between points of two successive collision
are AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3 = ............... = 2r cos . The time between two successive collisions of the ball
with the wall of the well is t1 = 2r cos /.
The vertical component of the ball velocity does not change upon a collision with the wall and reverses
its sign upon a collision with the bottom. The magnitude of the vertical velocity components for the first
impact against the bottom is 2gH , and the time of motion from the top to the bottom of the well is

t 2  2H/ g.

are the segments of the trajectory between successive impacts against the bottom). The ball can "get
out" of the well if the moment of the maximum ascent along the parabola coincides with the moment of
an impact against the wall (i.e. at the moment of maximum ascent, the ball is point An of the well edge).
The time t1 is connected to the time t2 through the following relation :
nt1 = 2kt2
where n and k are integral and mutually prime numbers. Substituting the values of t1 and t2, we obtain
the relation between , H, r, and  for which the ball can "get out" of the well :

2. To manufacture a polyethlene film a wide band is pulled over rollers at v = 15 m/s. During this process
the film's surface acquires a uniformly distibuted charge , mainly because of friction. An electric field of
strength 20 kV/cm can cause a discharge in air. Taking into account this fact, maximum possible
magnetic field's flux density B near the film's surface will be : (use c = 3×108m/s)

SECTION-2 : (One or more option correct type)

This section contains 6 multiple choice question. Each question has four choices (A), (B), (C) and (D)
out of which ONE or MORE are correct.

4. Two balls are placed as shown in figure on a "weightless" support formed by two smooth inclined
planes each of which forms an angle = 30° with the horizontal. The support can slide without friction
along a horizontal plane. The upper ball of mass m1 is released.Which of the following given relations
between m2 and m1 will allow the lower ball of mass m2 to start "climbing" up the support.

m2 1 m2 1
(A*)  (B*) 
m1 4 m1 3
m2 2 m 3
(C)  (D) 2 
m1 3 m1 4
Sol. If the lower ball is very light, it starts climbing the support. We shall find its minimum mass

m2 for which it has not yet started climbing, but has stopped pressing against the right inclined plane.
Since the support is weightless, the horizontal components of the forces of pressure (equal in
magnitude to the normal reactions) exerted by the balls on the support must be equal (Fig.) ; otherwise,
the "support" would acquire an infinitely large acceleration :
N1 sin  = N2 sin , N1 = N2.
Moreover, since the lower ball does not ascend, the normal components of the accelerations of the
balls relative to the right inclined plane must be equal (there is no relative displacement in this
direction). Figure shows that the angle between the direction of the normal reaction N2 of the support
and the right inclined plane is /2 – 2, and hence the latter condition can be written in the form
 m1gcos   N1 m2 gcos   N2 cos 2

m1 m2
whence m2 = m1 cos 2. Thus, the lower ball will "climb" up if the following condition is satisfied :
m2< m1 cos 2.

5. A thin hoop of mass M and radius r is placed on a horizontal plane. At the initial instant, the hoop is at
rest. A small washer of mass m with zero initial velocity slides from the upper point of the hoop along a
smooth groove in the inner surface of the hoop.

O

Choose the correct options at the moment when the washer is at a certain point A of the loop, whose
radius vector forms and angle  with the vertical as shown in figure. The friction between the hoop and
the plane should be neglected.
2gr(1  cos )
(A*) Speed of the centre of the hoop at the instant shown is u  mcos 
(M  m)(M  m sin )
2gr(1  cos )
(B) Speed of the centre of the hoop at the instant shown is u  mcos 

(C*) Speed of the washer at the instant  = 0° is V = .
M  m 
2Mgr
(D) Speed of the washer at the instant  = 0° is V = .
M  m 
Sol. The forces acting on the hoop-washer system are the force of gravity and the normal reaction of the
plane. These forces are directed along the vertical. Consequently, the centre of mass of the system
does not move in the horizontal direction.
Since there is no friction between the hoop and the plane, the motion of the hoop is translatory.
According to the momentum conservation law, at any instant to time we have
Mu + mx = 0, ..................... (1)
where u and x are the horizontal components of the velocities of the centre of the hoop and the
washer. Since x periodically changes its sign, u also changes sign "synchronously". The general
nature of motion of the hoop is as follows : the centre of the hoop moves to the right when the washer is
on segments BC and BE, and to the left when the washer is on segments CD and DE (Figure)

The velocities  of the washer and u of the hoop are connected through the energy conservation law :
m 2 Mu2
mgr (1 + cos ) =  . ..................... (2)
2 2
The motion of the washer relative to a stationary observer can be represented at any instant as the
superposition of two motions : the motion relative to the centre of the hoop at a velocity  t directed
along the tangent to the hoop, and the motion together with the hoop at its velocity u having the
horizontal direction (Figure). The figure shows that
y
 tan  .
x  y
 Solving Eqs. (1) – (3) together, we determine the velocity of the centre of the hoop at the instant when
the radius vector of the point of location of the washer forms and angle  with the vertical

Paragraph for Questions 10 and 12
In a physics stunt, two balls of equal density, and radii r and R = 2r, are placed with the centre of the
larger one at the middle of a cart of mass M = 6 kg and length L = 2m. The mass of the smaller ball is
m =1kg. The balls are made to roll, without slipping, in such a way that the larger ball rests on the cart,
and a straight line connecting their centres remains at a constant angle  = 60° to the horizontal . The
cart is pulled by a horizontal force in the direction shown in the figure.

Sol. Let the angular acceleration of the smaller ball be 1, that of the larger one 2, their common horizontal
acceleration a1 and the acceleration of the cart a2. As the balls are rolling without slipping, we have

Note : It is interesting that this stunt can also be performed with the smaller ball in the horizontal
position,  = 0. In this situation the frictional force between the balls balances the entire weight of the
smaller ball, What is more, it is even possible for  to be negative, if the coefficient of friction between
the balls is sufficiently large !

This section contains 2 questions. The answer to each question is a single digit integer, ranging from
0 to 9 OR Two digit integer, ranging from 00 to 99 (both inclusive)

19. A helicopter can hover when the power output of its engine is P. A second helicopter is an exact copy of
the first one, but its linear dimensions are half those of the original. Power output needed to enable this
P
second helicopter to hover is x . Find 2x. [200 Puzzling Physics Problems-3 (Q. No. P59*)]
2
Ans. 7
Sol. The required power for the hovering helicopter depends on the gravitational acceleration g, the linear
size of the helicopter L, the average density of the helicopter hel, and the density of air air.
 It is reasonable to assume that the mechanical power needed depends only on these quantities and
that the dependence is a power relationship :
P  g  L  hel
 
 air
The dimensions of the left-and right-hand sides must be equal :
  

3
  2   m   3    3 
s s  m  m 
which yields
 +  = 1,
 +  – 3( – ) = 2,
–2 = –3
7 3
The solutions of this system of linear equation is  = ,= and y = 1 – .
2 2
7
It can be seen that the mechanical power needed is proportional to the power of the linear size.
2
7/2
Consequently, the second helicopter should have an engine producing power (1/2) P = 0.088 P.
Note (i) The efficiency of a mechanical engine can be characterised by the ratio of the power produced
to the mass of the engine. According to the above result the 'specific' power'
P P
 3  L,
m L
i.e. the efficiency required increases as the linear size increases. This means that the smaller a
helicopter is, the more easily it can hover. There are many small animals (bees, dragonflies,
hummingbirds, etc.) that can hover like a helicopter, but larger birds are unable to do so.
(ii) Using simple dimensional analysis we could find only the sum of the exponents  and . However, it
is clear that P can depend only on the product of the density of the helicopter and g, because, when the
helicopter is hovering, the relevant quantity is not its inertial mass, but its weight. Thus  must be equal
3 1
to , i.e.  = with  =  . Finally, we get

Here, on the surface of the Earth, we can change only the size and density of the helicopter,
Nevertheless, for a space mission using robot helicopters, it could be useful to know how P depends on
the gravitational acceleration and the atmospheric density of the target planet.
