$A$ right triangular plate $ABC$ of mass $m$ is free to rotate in the vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis through $A$. It is supported by a string at $B$ such that the side $AB$ is horizontal. The reaction at the support $A$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{mg}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2mg}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg}{2}$
  • D
    $mg$

$A$ metre scale is balanced on a knife edge at its centre. When two coins,each of mass $10\, g$,are placed one on top of the other at the $10.0\, cm$ mark,the scale is found to be balanced at the $40.0\, cm$ mark. The mass of the metre scale is found to be $x \times 10^{-2}\, kg$. The value of $x$ is

$A$ hollow tilted cylindrical vessel of negligible mass rests on a horizontal plane as shown. The diameter of the base is $a$ and the side of the cylinder makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Water is then slowly poured into the cylinder. The cylinder topples over when the water reaches a certain height $h$,given by

Persons $A$ and $B$ are standing on the opposite sides of a $3.5 \,m$ wide water stream which they wish to cross. Each one of them has a rigid wooden plank whose mass can be neglected. However,each plank is only slightly longer than $3 \,m$. So,they decide to arrange them together as shown in the figure. With $B$ (mass $17 \,kg$) standing on one end of the plank,the maximum mass of $A$,who can walk over the plank is close to ............ $kg$.

Shown in the figure is a rigid and uniform one-meter-long rod $AB$ held in a horizontal position by two strings tied to its ends and attached to the ceiling. The rod has a mass $m$ and another weight of mass $2m$ is hung at a distance of $75\, cm$ from $A$. The tension in the string at $A$ is $....mg$.

An $L$-shaped object,made of two thin rods of uniform mass density and equal length $a$,is suspended from a string as shown in the figure. If $AB = BC = a$,and the angle made by $AB$ with the downward vertical is $\theta$,then:
