Solution
The linear velocity of a rotating body is given by :
\(\overrightarrow{V}=\overrightarrow{\omega }\times \overrightarrow{r}\)If \(\overrightarrow{V}=\overrightarrow{\omega }\times \overrightarrow{r}\) and \(\overrightarrow{V}=\overrightarrow{\omega }\times \overrightarrow{r}\), then the magnitude of \(\overrightarrow{V}=\overrightarrow{\omega }\times \overrightarrow{r}\) is

Solution
A rectangular sheet of material has a width of 3 m and a length of 4 m. Forces with magnitudes of 3 N and 4N. respectively, are applied parallel to two edges of the sheet,as shown in the figure below.
A third force F,is applied to the centre of the sheet, along a line in the plane of the sheet, at an angle = tan 0.75 with respect to the horizontal direction. The sheet will be intranslational equilibrium when F has what value?
-
Solution
A body is in translational equilibrium when the components of all external forces cancel.
For the sheet : F cos θ= 4 N, F sinθ= 3 N. The magnitude of F is found by adding the squares of the components:F2 cos2 θ+ F2 sin2 θ= F2 = 42+ 32= 25 N2. Therefore F= 5N.The F vector points in the proper direction,since tan θ= 0.75 = 3/4.
If A = B + C and the magnitudes of A, B and C are 5, 4 and 3 units, the angle between A and C is
-
Solution
See fig. Clearly A is the resultant of B and C. Further B is perpendicular to C
cos θ= 3/5 or θ= cos-1(3/5)
Two vectors A and B lie in a plane, another vector C lies out side this plane, then the resultant of these three vectors i.e., A+ B + C
Out of the following sets of forces, the resultant of which cannot be zero?

Solution
If the sum of two unit vectors is a unit vector, then the magnitude of their difference is
A bomb is dropped from an aeroplane moving horizontally at constant speed. If air resistance is taken into consideration, then the bomb
-
Solution
If there is no resistance, bomb will drop at a place exactly below the flying aeroplane. But when we take into account air resistance, bomb will face deceleration inits velocity. So,it will fall on the earth exactly behind the aeroplane.
