PARAGRAPH TYPE (next two questions). (+ 4,0 ,−1 for eac h question)
The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its
centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the
centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc
welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a mass-less stick, as shown in the figure. When
the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular
speed ω, the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the centre of
mass of the disc about the z-axis, and (ii) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical
axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points P and
Q). Both these motions have the same angular speed ω in this chase.

Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure : Case (a) the disc with its face vertical
and parallel to x-y plane; Case (b) the disc with its face making an angle of 45º with x-y plane
and its horizontal diameter parallel to x-axis. In both the cases, the disc is welded at point P, and
 the systems are rotated with constant angular speed ω about the z-axis..

14. Which of the following statements about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of
mass) is correct ?
(a) It is vertical for both the cases (a) and (b)
(b) It is vertical for case (a); and is at 45º to the x-z plane and lies in the plane of the disc for case
(b)
(c) It is horizontal for case (a); and is at 45º to the x-z plane and is normal to the plane of the disc
for case (b)
(d) It is vertical for case (a); and is at 45º to the x-z plane and is normal to the plane of the disc
for case (b)
15. Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis
(passing through the centre of mass) is correct ?
(a) It is √ 2 ω for both the cases
ω
(b) It is ω for case (a); and for case (b)
√2
(c) It is ω for case (a); and √ 2 ω for case (b)
(d) It is ω for both the cases

plane about a horizontal axis passing through P. The density d 1 of the material of the rod is
smaller than the density d 2 of the liquid. The rod is displaced by a small angle θ from its
equilibrium position and then released. Show that the motion of the rod is simple harmonic and
determine its angular frequency in terms of the given parameters.
