Response
Question 12

Step1: Identify pivot and moments

The half - metre rule has length \(L = 50\space cm\). The pivot (knife - edge) is at \(20\space cm\) from \(A\). The mass at \(A\) is \(m_1=30\space g\) and let the mass of the rule be \(M\). The center of mass of the uniform rule is at its mid - point, i.e., at \(25\space cm\) from \(A\). The distance of the mass at \(A\) from the pivot, \(d_1 = 20\space cm\) and the distance of the center of mass of the rule from the pivot, \(d_2=25 - 20=5\space cm\).

Taking moments about the pivot, the clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment. The moment due to the mass at \(A\) is \(m_1\times g\times d_1\) (anticlockwise) and the moment due to the mass of the rule is \(M\times g\times d_2\) (clockwise). Since \(g\) is common on both sides, we can write \(m_1\times d_1=M\times d_2\).

Step2: Solve for \(M\)

We know that \(m_1 = 30\space g\), \(d_1 = 20\space cm\) and \(d_2 = 5\space cm\). Substituting these values into the equation \(m_1\times d_1=M\times d_2\), we get:

\(30\times20 = M\times5\)

\(M=\frac{30\times20}{5}\)

\(M = 120\space g\)

Step1: Recall the formula for acceleration in SHM

The formula for the acceleration \(a\) of a body in simple harmonic motion is \(a=\omega^{2}x\), where \(\omega\) is the angular speed and \(x\) is the displacement.

Step2: Substitute the values

Given that \(\omega = 2\space rad/s\) and \(x = 5\space cm=0.05\space m\).

Substitute these values into the formula:

\(a=(2)^{2}\times0.05\)

\(a = 4\times0.05\)

\(a=0.2\space m/s^{2}\)

Step1: Recall the formula for impulse

Impulse \(J\) is equal to the change in momentum \(\Delta p\). The formula for momentum is \(p = mv\), so \(\Delta p=m(v_2 - v_1)\), where \(m\) is the mass, \(v_2\) is the final velocity and \(v_1\) is the initial velocity.

Step2: Substitute the values

Given that \(m = 20\space kg\), \(v_1 = 20\space m/s\) and \(v_2 = 30\space m/s\).

\(\Delta p=20\times(30 - 20)\)

\(\Delta p=20\times10\)

\(\Delta p = 200\space Ns\)

Answer:

C. 120 g
