$A$ bob of mass $m$ attached to an inextensible string of length $l$ is suspended from a vertical support. The bob rotates in a horizontal circle with an angular speed $\omega \text{ rad/s}$ about the vertical axis. About the point of suspension:

  • A
    angular momentum changes in magnitude but not in direction
  • B
    angular momentum changes in direction but not in magnitude
  • C
    angular momentum changes both in direction and magnitude
  • D
    angular momentum is conserved

$A$ small particle of mass $m$ is projected at an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis with an initial velocity $v_0$ in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure. At a time $t < \frac{v_0 \sin \theta}{g}$,the angular momentum of the particle is

Three equal masses $m$ are kept at vertices $(A, B, C)$ of an equilateral triangle of side $a$ in free space. At $t = 0$,they are given an initial velocity $\vec{V}_A = V_0 \hat{u}_{AC}, \vec{V}_B = V_0 \hat{u}_{BA}$ and $\vec{V}_C = V_0 \hat{u}_{CB}$. Here,$\hat{u}_{AC}, \hat{u}_{CB}$ and $\hat{u}_{BA}$ are unit vectors along the edges of the triangle. If the three masses interact gravitationally,then the magnitude of the net angular momentum of the system about the centroid of the triangle is:

$A$ torque of $50 \ Nm$ acts on a body for $8 \ s$,which is initially at rest. The change in its angular momentum is:

$A$ point mass $m$ is attached to one end of a string passing through a cylindrical tube. The string is held in hand,and the point mass moves in a horizontal circle of radius $r_1 = 2 \ m$ with a speed of $v_1 = 4 \ m/s$. The string is then pulled down so that the radius is reduced to $r_2 = 1 \ m$. Calculate the new linear velocity,angular velocity,and the ratio of the final kinetic energy to the initial kinetic energy.
