Suppose the rod is placed along .x-axis. Consider a small element of thickness dx at distance x from its left end.
As the mass acting per unit length is directly proportional to distance x from one end, mass of the small element is dm = kx dx

15. (a) at any instant of time, every particle of the body has the same velocity.
Explanation: In translational motion when the body moves along a straight line or more exactly when every point of the body
travels on parallel lines, thus at any instant of time every particle of the body has the same velocity.
16.

Explanation: As there is no external force and the two bodies move due to mutual force of attraction, so vCM = 0.

18.
(b) Tangential to the orbit
Explanation: As the direction of velocity at any point moving in a circular orbit is tangent at that point, thus momentum would
be tangential to the orbit.
19.
(d) zero
Explanation: No external force is acting on the centre of mass of system. It remains at rest. The speed of the CM is zero.

21.
(b) the axis of rotation
Explanation: If we wrap the right hand around the axis of rotation with the fingers pointing in the direction of rotation, then
the thumb points in the direction of angular velocity.
22.
(b) decreases initially and increases again
Explanation: By conservation of angular momentum,
L = Iω = constant
As the liquid is dropped, it starts spreading out. The moment of inertia increases and angular velocity decreases. As the liquid
starts falling, the moment of inertia again decreases and angular velocity increases.
23.

26.
(c) it will be more than ω
Explanation: Angular momentum, L, in a closed system is conserved. Thus, the decrease in the moment of inertia of the
system will increase his angular velocity.

(c) At right angles to the plane of the paper
Explanation: Angular acceleration is an axial vector. It is always directed along the axis of rotation according to the right-hand
screw rule. Hence the direction of the angular acceleration vector is perpendicular to the plane in which the rotation takes place.

(c) remains constant
Explanation: As angular momentum is L⃗ = p ⃗ × r ⃗ = mvrsinθ, Now rsinθ = perpendicular distance from x-axis which is
constant, so angular momentum remains constant.
31.
(c) both angular acceleration and linear acceleration
Explanation: The body will experience both linear and angular accelerations.

(b) all of these

Explanation: Torque, τ ⃗ = dL

⃗
= A × L
⃗

Clearly, dL

dt
is perpendicular to L⃗ After time Δt the new angular momentum vector L + ΔL has the same magnitude as the
initial angular momentum vector L⃗ but has a different direction. Thus the magnitude of L⃗ remains constant while its direction
changes. dL⃗ has no component in the direction of A. So the component of L⃗ in the direction of A⃗ does not change with time.
Hence all given options are true.

(b) does not deform on the application of force.
Explanation: A rigid body is an idealization of a solid body in which deformation or change in shape is neglected on the
application of deforming force.
43.
(c) vf = vr
Explanation: Speeds of the topmost points of both wheels will be equal and equal to that of CM of the bicycle.
44.
(b) aluminium at interior and iron surround to it
Explanation: The density of iron is more than that of aluminum. For the moment of inertia to be maximum, the heavier mass
should lie farther from the axis of rotation. Hence aluminum should be at the interior and iron surrounding it.

(d) its speed of rotation decreases
Explanation: When the metallic rod is heated, it expands. The distances of the particles from the axis of rotation increase. So
the moment of inertia increases but the speed of rotation decreases so as to conserve the angular momentum (L= ω = constant).
