$A$ thin rod of length '$L$' lies along the $x$-axis with its ends at $x = 0$ and $x = L$. Its linear mass density $\lambda$ varies with $x$ as $\lambda = k{\left( {\frac{x}{L}} \right)^n}$,where $n$ is a non-negative constant. If the position $x_{CM}$ of the center of mass of the rod is plotted against '$n$',which of the following graphs best approximates the dependence of $x_{CM}$ on $n$?

  • A
    Option A

According to the parallel axis theorem,$I = I_{cm} + Mx^2$. What will be the graph between $I$ and $x$?

$A$ block of mass $m = 1 \, kg$ slides with velocity $v = 6 \, m/s$ on a frictionless horizontal surface and collides with a uniform vertical rod and sticks to it as shown. The rod is pivoted about $O$ and swings as a result of the collision,making an angle $\theta$ before momentarily coming to rest. If the rod has mass $M = 2 \, kg$ and length $l = 1 \, m$,the value of $\theta$ is approximately (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$) (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ solid cylinder of mass $3 \ kg$ is rolling on a horizontal surface with velocity $4 \ m/s$. It collides with a horizontal spring whose one end is fixed to a rigid support. The force constant of the spring is $200 \ N/m$. The maximum compression produced in the spring will be (assume the collision between the cylinder and the spring is elastic). (in $m$)

$A$ bar of length $L$ carrying a small mass $m$ at one of its ends rotates with a uniform angular speed $\omega$ in a vertical plane about the midpoint of the bar. During the rotation, at some instant of time when the bar is horizontal, the mass is detached from the bar but the bar continues to rotate with the same $\omega$. The mass moves vertically up, comes back, and reaches the bar at the same point. At that place, the acceleration due to gravity is $g$.
