A uniform square plate \(ABCD\) has a mass of \(10\) kg.

1. \(OH\)
2. \(DH\)
3. \(OG\)
4. \(OF\)
At \(t=0\), the positions of the two blocks are shown. There is no external force acting on the system. Find the coordinates of the centre of mass of the system (in SI units) at \(t=3\) seconds.
1. | \((1,0)\) | 2. | \((3,0)\) |

The mass per unit length of a non-uniform rod of length \(L\) is given by \(\mu =λx^{2}\) where \(\lambda\) is a constant and \(x\) is the distance from one end of the rod. The distance between the centre of mass of the rod and this end is:
1. | \(\frac{L}{2}\) | 2. | \(\frac{L}{4}\) |
3. | \(\frac{3L}{4}\) | 4. | \(\frac{L}{3}\) |
The center of mass of a system of particles does not depend upon:
1. | position of particles |
2. | relative distance between particles |
3. | masses of particles |
4. | force acting on the particle |
A particle is moving with a constant velocity along a line parallel to the positive x-axis. The magnitude of its angular momentum with respect to the origin is:
1. | zero |
2. | increasing with \(x\) |
3. | decreasing with \(x\) |
4. | remaining constant |
A rope is wrapped around a hollow cylinder with a mass of \(3\) kg and a radius of \(40\) cm. What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder if the rope is pulled with a force \(30\) N?
1. \(0.25\) rad s–2
2. \(25\) rad s–2
3. \(5\) m s–2
4. \(25\) m s–2
A rigid body rotates with an angular momentum of \(L.\) If its kinetic energy is halved, the angular momentum becomes:

4. \(L/\)
1. | \(2ml^2\) | 2. | \(4ml^2\) |
3. | \(3ml^2\) | 4. | \(ml^2\) |
A particle rotating on a circular path of the radius \(\frac{4}{\pi}~\text{m}\) at \(300\) rpm reaches \(600\) rpm in \(6\) revolutions. If the angular velocity increases at a constant rate, find the tangential acceleration of the particle:
1. \(10\) m/s2
2. \(12.5\) m/s2
3. \(25\) m/s2
4. \(50\) m/s2
The coordinates of the centre of mass of a uniform plate of shape as shown in the figure are:

3. | \(\frac{5L}{3}, \frac{2L}{3}\) | 4. | \(\frac{3 L}{4}, \frac{L}{2}\) |
