about an axis AB that passes through its centre and is
parallel to two of its sides. CD is a line in the plane of the
plate that passes through the centre of the plate and makes

6. A man pulls a solid cylinder (initially at rest) horizontally

by a massless string as shown. The string is wrapped on the
cylinder and the cylinder performs pure rolling (that is,
rolling without slipping). Mass of the cylinder is 100 kg,
radius is  metre & tension in string is 100 N. Then the
angular speed of the cylinder after one revolution will be:

4
(A) 4 rad /sec (B) rad/ sec

(C) 3

Ans: (B)
The cylinder rolls without slipping, hence no work is being done by
friction. In one complete revolution the centre C of the cylinder
moves by 2R (R is radius of cylinder) and the top most point P of
the cylinder moves by 4R.

10. A uniform circular disc of radius r is placed on a rough

horizontal surface and given a linear velocity v0 and
angular velocity 0 as shown. The disc comes to rest after
moving some distance to the right. It follows that
v0

0

(A) 3 v0 = 20 r (B) 2 v0 = 0 r

(C) v0 = 0 r (D) 2 v0 = 3 0 r
Ans: (B)
Since the disc comes to rest, it stops rotating & translating
simultaneously
 v = 0 &  = 0. That means, the angular momentum about the
instantaneous point of contact just after time of stopping is zero we
know that, the angular momentum of the disc about P remains
constant because frictional force f, N & mg pass through the point
P, thus produce no torque about this point
 Linitial = Lfinal  mv0 r – I0 0 = 0

 2 v0 = 0 r.

11. A solid sphere is resting over a rough horizontal floor. A
sharp impulse is applied on it along its horizontal diameter.
Point out false statements:
(A) The kinetic energy of the sphere remains constant
throughout the motion
(B) The kinetic energy of translation is shared by rotation,
but the total kinetic energy decreases initially and finally
attains a constant value
(C) The total kinetic energy of the sphere decreases
continuously on doing work against friction and finally
reduces to zero
(D) A constant frictional force, opposite to the translational
motion acts on the sphere throughout its motion.
Ans: (A, C, D)
mg

I Translational
Velocity

Friction
m(retardation)

Since, the impulse is applied along a horizontal diameter, therefore,

due to that impulse the sphere starts to move translationally without
any rotational motion. Since the floor is rough, therefore, friction
comes into existence and that opposes forward sliding of the sphere
as shown in figure. Hence, friction acts along backward direction
9
 which not only provides a retarding force but produces an
accelerating moment also. Due to that moment the sphere
experiences an angular acceleration. Hence, initially translational
velocity of the sphere decreases but angular velocity increases.
Therefore, KE of the sphere initially decreases. Rotational motion
is accelerated till angular velocity ( ) becomes equal to v and then
r
the friction disappears. Hence, then total energy of sphere remains
constant. Therefore, option (B) alone is correct and rest options are
incorrect.

12. A ring of mass M and radius R sliding with a velocity v0

suddenly enters into rough surface where coefficient of
friction is , as shown -
V0

(A) The ring starts rolling motion when centre of mass

becomes stationary.
(B) The ring starts rolling motion when the point of contact
becomes stationary.
(C) The time after which the ring starts rolling is 2vg . 0

v0
(D) The rolling velocity is 2
.
Ans: (B, C, D)
Let rolling velocity is v and angular velocity is then,
v = v0 – gt .... (1)
and  = rg t .... (2)
Also, v = r
 gt = v0 – gt  t = v0

angle of inclination 30º. Axis of cylinder makes an angle

(B) Acceleration of cylinder is g/4

14. A uniform rod of mass 1 kg and length 1 m is kept vertical

on the edge of a horizontal table. The rod is hit at a height
75 cm from table surface as to provide impulse 5 N/S in
horizontal direction. Then -
(A) Displacement of rod after 1 sec is 5 2 m
11
 (B) Initial velocity of rod is 5 m/s which increases with
time
(C) Initial angular velocity of rod is 15 rad/sec which
increases with time
(D) Numbers of rotation in 1 sec is 152

Angular velocity of rod will not increase with time as there is no
angular acceleration about axis passing through centre of mass
(Torque of mg about centre of mass is zero as it acts through centre
of mass)

15. Work done by a force on an rigid object having no

rotational motion will be zero, if -
(A) the force is always perpendicular to acceleration of
object.
(B) the object is at rest relative to ground but the point of
application of force moves on the object.
(C) the force is always perpendicular to velocity of object.

12
 (D) the point of application of force is fixed relative to
ground by the object moves.
Ans: (B, C)
(A) If velocity and acceleration are not in same direction. Work
done by force perpendicular to acceleration will not be zero.
(B) If the object is at rest no force can do work.
(C) If force is perpendicular to velocity work done will be zero.
(D) If the point on the body has velocity component in direction of
application of force work done will be non-zero.

18. A disc is given an initial angular velocity 0 and placed on

rough horizontal surface as shown. The quantities which
will not depend on the coefficient of friction is/are

0

(A)The time until rolling begins.

(B)The displacement of the disc until rolling begins.
(C)The velocity when rolling begins.
(D)The work done by the force of friction.
Ans: (C, D)
The velocity of the disc when rolling begins can be obtained using
the conservation of angular momentum principle about the point
through which the friction force acts. So, the coefficient of friction
has no bearing on final velocity. The work done by the force of
friction will simply be change in kinetic energy.

29. A uniform disc of radius R is spinned about its axis to an

angular velocity  and then carefully placed with its plane
0

on a rough horizontal surface. The time in which the disc

stops rotating is found y .Find y. Given the coefficient
0

4gR
of friction between the disc and the surface =  . Assume
that the disc exerts pressure on the horizontal surface
uniformly.

 Final kinetic energy of disc = 0. The kinetic energy is dissipated in
doing work against frictional couple. The value of this couple is
different for different parts of the disc. The disc may be considered
to be formed a large number of thin concentric rings. Consider one
such ring of radius x and thickness dx. If  is the mass per unit area,
then

30. A truck, initially at rest with a solid cylinder roll of paper,

moves forward with a constant acceleration a. The cylinder
roll is lying parallel to the edge of the truck at a distance d.
Find the distance s which the truck travels before the paper
roll moves off the edge of its horizontal surface. Friction is
sufficient to prevent slipping.
d = 2m
