P O X Q

The system is in equilibrium state

F=0
 The force vectors form a closed
triangle (as shown in the figure) Period of oscillation = 4  4 = 16 s
Hence, after 14 s the particle passes X the
rod P: in tension third time.
rod Q: in compression

7. C
2. A
consider the wedge and the mass as a
whole system, since the mass slides down 8. A
the wedge with constant velocity, the total
vertical force acting on the system = 0.
Hence, the normal reaction exerted by the 9.
ground on the wedge = total weight of the
system, i.e. (M + m)g. 10. B
d sin  = m
d sin 45 = 3
3. C d/ = 3/sin 45
moving up: accelerating downwards, a > g = 4.2
at the highest point: a = g hence, the highest order is 4
moving down: accelerating downwards, a
<g
hence, slope of the v – t graph (i.e. 11. C
acceleration) should decrease with time.

vertical: L cos 21.8 = mg

horizontal: L sin 21.8 = = 4.4  10-4 m

hence, tan 21.8 = 12. A

F = ilB since the launching speed 2v is greater
than the escape velocity, the spacecraft
7.5  10-5 = 8  0.5  B cos 20
would leave the earth and travel to outer

(1) Incorrect: The rope is heavy and the
weight is not negligible. Tension at the
24.
point near the top end of the rope should
be greater while that near the bottom end
N=
should smaller.
(2) Incorrect: the frequency of oscillation
= must be the same for all vibrating points
of the rope. Wave speed v, which depends
on the tension, varies from point to point
 07 AL Physics/M.C./P.3

along the rope. Hence, the wavelength is

not the same throughout the rope.
