(61) A simple pendulum of mass m swings with an

angular amplitude of 60 0 when its angular
displacement is 300. The tension in the string is

(a) l (b) 2l (c) (d)

(65) A thin uniform rod of mass M and length L is
positioned vertically above an anchored
frictionless pivot point, as shown in figure and then
allowed to fall to ground. With what speed does
(a) (b) the free end of the rod strike the ground?

(c) (d)

(62) A body of mass m rotated along a verticle circle

with the help of a light string such that velocity of
the body at any point is critical. If T1 and T2 are
tensions in the string when the body is crossing
the highest and lowest points of the vertical circle
respectively, then
(a) (b) (c) (d)
(a) T2 – T1 = 6 mg (b) T2 – T1 = 4 mg
(c) T2 – T1 = 3 mg (d) T2 – T1 = 2 mg
(63) A particle is moving in a vertical circle. The
tensions in the string when passing through two (66) A stone weighing 2 kg is whirled in a vertical circle

position) are T1 and T2 , respectively, then tensions at lowest, midway and highest positions
(a) T1 = T2 are respectively ... (Take g = 10m/s2)

(b) T2 > T1 (a) 0 N, 60 N, 120 N (b) 120 N, 60 N, 0 N

(c) T1 > T2 (c) 60 N, 120 N, 0 N (d) 0 N, 120 N, 60 N

(d) tension in string always remains the same. 1.10. KINEMATICAL EQUATIONS FOR CIRCULAR
