  • A
    $M g \tan \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$
  • B
    $M g \cot \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$

$A$ football of radius $R$ is kept on a hole of radius $r$ (where the diameter of the hole is $2r$ and $r < R$) made on a plank kept horizontally. One end of the plank is now lifted so that it gets tilted,making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The maximum value of $\theta$ such that the football does not start rolling down the plank satisfies (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale) -

As shown in the figure,two spheres are released from point $A$ along paths $AB$ and $AC$ respectively. If both surfaces are smooth,find the time taken by both spheres to reach the bottom of the incline. (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

Two masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are arranged as shown in the figure. Let '$a$' be the magnitude of the acceleration of the system. If the mass of $M_1$ is doubled and that of $M_2$ is halved,then the new acceleration of the system is (Treat all surfaces as smooth; masses of pulley and rope are negligible).
