SECTION B (Case study)
10. Circular motion:
Circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation
along a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant
speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation. The rotation around a fixed axis of a
three-dimensional body involves circular motion of its parts. The equations of motion describe
the movement of the center of mass of a body.
Uniform circular motion describes the motion of a body traversing a circular path at constant
speed. Since the body describes circular motion, its distance from the axis of rotation remains
constant at all times. Though the body's speed is constant, its velocity is not constant: velocity,
a vector quantity, depends on both the body's speed and its direction of travel. This changing
velocity indicates the presence of an acceleration; this centripetal acceleration is of constant
magnitude and directed at all times towards the axis of rotation. This acceleration is, in turn,
produced by a centripetal force which is also constant in magnitude and directed towards the
axis of rotation.
(i) A particle revolves around a circular path. The acceleration of the particle is inversely
proportional to:
(a) radius (b) velocity (c) mass of particle (d) both a and c
(ii) A stone tied to a string is rotated with a uniform speed in a vertical plane. If mass of the
stone is m, length of the string is r and linear speed of the stone is v, then tension in the string,
when the stone is at its lowest point is (g = acceleration due to gravity).
(a) mg (b) mv2/r (c) mv2/r - mg (d) mv2/r + mg
(iii) Define centripetal force.
(iv) A bucket containing water is rotated in a vertical circle. Explain, why the water does not
fall. (4)

11. A mass of 4 kg rests on a horizontal plane. The plane is gradually inclined until at an angle θ =
15° with the horizontal, the mass just begins to stable. What is the coefficient of static friction
between the block and the surface?
12. The density of mercury is 13.6 g cm-3 in CGS system. Find its value in SI units.

16. Two masses M and m are connected at the two ends of inextensible strings. The string passes
oven a smooth frictionless pulley. Calculate the acceleration of the masses and tension in the
string. Given m > M.
17. If the linear momentum of a body increased by 50%, what will be the % increase in the kinetic
energy of the body?

on a level road. What should be the frictional force between the car and the road so that the
car does not slip? What should be the value of the coefficient of friction to attain this force?
