SECTION - 4
Numerical Value Type
This section contains 2 questions paragraphs. There are TWO (02) questions corresponding to each question.
The answer to each question is a NUMERICAL VALUE. If the numerical value has more than two decimal
places, truncate/round-off the value to TWO decimal places.
Paragraph for Question Nos. 14 and 15
A solid uniform sphere of mass M and radius R can rotate about a fixed vertical axis. There is no frictional
torque acting at the axis of rotation. A light string is wrapped around the equator of the sphere. The string has
exactly 6 turns on the sphere. The string passes over a light pulley and carries a small mass m at its end (see
figure). The string between the sphere and the pulley is always horizontal. The system is released from rest
and the small mass falls down vertically. The string does not slip on the sphere till 5 turns get unwound. As
soon as 5th turn gets unwound completely, the friction between the sphere and the string vanishes all of a
sudden. Answer the following two questions:
