(ii) Show that the sum and difference of two perpendicular vectors of equal lengths are also perpendicular and of the same length.
(iii) How would the two vectors of the same magnitude have to be oriented, if they were to be combined to give a resultant equal to a
vector of the same magnitude?

(i) Explain the difference between tangential velocity and the angular velocity. If one of these is given for a wheel of known radius, how
will you find the other.

(iii) What is meant by angular momentum LO = mvr.
(iv) When mud files off the tyre of a moving bicycle, in what direction does it fly? Explain.
(v) Why does a diver change his body positions before and after diving in the pool?
(vi) A student holds two dumb-bells with stretched arms while stting on a turn table. He is given a push until he is rotating at certain
angular velocity. The student then pulls the dumb-bells towards his chest. What will be the effect on rate of rotation?
(vii) Explain what do you understand by the term viscosity?
