Q.11 A boy sitting at the rear end of a railway comparment of a train, running at a constant acceleration on
horizontal rails, throws a ball towards the fore end of the compartment with velocity 20m/s (relative to
train) at an angle 370 above the horizontal, when the train is running at speed of 10m/s. If same boy
catches the ball without moving from seat & at the same height of projection. Then find the speed of train
 at the instant of his catching the ball. (Here g = 10m/s2, sin370 = 3 / 5 ) [Ans: 42 m/s]

Q.12 Board A is placed on board B as shown. Both boards slide, without moving with respect to each other,
along a frictionless horizontal surface at a speed 6 m/s. Board B hits a resulting board C "head-on". After
the collision, boards B and C stick together and board A slides on top of board C and stops its motion
relative to C in the position shown on the diagram. What is the length (in m) of each board? All three
boards have the same mass, size and shape. The coefficient of kinetic friction between boards A and C
and between boards A & B is . (here g = 10 m/s2)

Q.13 A side view of a simplified form of vertical latch B is as shown. The lower
member A can be pushed forward in its horizontal channel. The sides of
the channels are smooth, but at the interfaces of A and B, which are at
45° with the horizontal, there exists a static coefficient of friction = 0.4.

to start motion of the latch B if it has a mass m = 0.6 kg ?

Q.14 The essential elements of one form of simple speed governor are as shown:
to a vertical shaft a horizontal rod is mounted symmetrically and on the
horizontal rod there are freely sliding (no friction) brake shoes. When the
shaft turns at a frequency of rotation f = 10 Hz, the brake shoes press
against the inner surface of a stationary cylindrical brake drum. If the brake
shoes are each of mass m = 1kg, and their thickness dimension is negligible
compared to the inner radius of the brake drum r =0.1 m, and the coefficient
of sliding friction between the shoes and the drum is = 0.5, find the
power required in watt to turn the governor shaft.
[Take: 2 = 10] [Ans. P =2529.82 W]
[Sol. Centripetal force for rotation of brake shoe comes from normal reaction between
brake shoe and drum.
N = mr2 = mr(2f )2
Friction force (F) = mr(2f )2
