Do we need a banked road for a two-wheeler? Explain.

On what factors does the frequency of a conical pendulum depend? Is it independent of some factors?

While driving along an unbanked circular road, a two-wheeler rider has to lean with the vertical. Why is it so? With what angle the rider has to lean? Derive the relevant expression. Why such a leaning is not necessary for a four wheeler?

Somehow, an ant is stuck to the rim of a bicycle wheel of diameter 1 m. While the bicycle is on a central stand, the wheel is set into rotation and it attains the frequency of 2 rev/s in 10 seconds, with uniform angular acceleration. Calculate:

1. The number of revolutions completed by the ant in these 10 seconds.
2. Time is taken by it for first complete revolution and the last complete revolution.

The coefficient of static friction between a coin and a gramophone disc is 0.5. Radius of the disc is 8 cm. Initially the center of the coin is 2 cm away from the center of the disc. At what minimum frequency will it start slipping from there? By what factor will the answer change if the coin is almost at the rim? (use g = π²m/s²)

Answer in Brief:

A flywheel used to prepare earthenware pots is set into rotation at 100 rpm. It is in the form of a disc of mass 10 kg and a radius 0.4 m. A lump of clay (to be taken equivalent to a particle) of mass 1.6 kg falls on it and adheres to it at a certain distance x from the center. Calculate x if the wheel now rotates at 80 rpm.

Starting from rest, an object rolls down along an incline that rises by 3 in every 5 (along with it). The object gains a speed of `sqrt 10` m/s as it travels a distance of `5/3` m along the incline. What can be the possible shape/s of the object?

An electric lamp is connected in series with a capacitor and an AC source is glowing with a certain brightness. How does the brightness of the lamp change on increasing the capacitance?

A big dumb-bell is prepared by using a uniform rod of mass 60 g and length 20 cm. Two identical solid spheres of mass 25 g and radius 10 cm each are at the two ends of the rod. Calculate the moment of inertia of the dumb-bell when rotated about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the length.

Why two or more mercury drops form a single drop when brought in contact with each other?

The pressure of water inside a closed pipe is 3 × 10⁵ N/m². This pressure reduces to 2 × 10⁵ N/m² on opening the valve of the pipe. Calculate the speed of water flowing through the pipe. [Density of water = 1000 kg/m³].
