SECTION-I (i) : (Maximum Marks: 12)

This section contains FOUR (04) questions.

Each question has FOUR options (A), (B), (C) and (D). ONLY ONE of these four options is the
correct answer.
For each question, choose the option corresponding to the correct answer.
Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking scheme :
Full Marks : +3 If ONLY the correct option is chosen.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered)
Negative Marks : –1 In all other cases

3. Circling around a pole
A mass, which is free to move on a horizontal frictionless plane, is attached to one end of a massless
string which wraps partially around a frictionless vertical pole of radius r. You hold onto the other end of
the string. At t = 0, the mass has speed v0 in the tangential direction along the dotted circle of radius R
shown. (R = 2r). Your task is to pull on the string so that the mass keeps moving along the dotted circle.
You are required to do this in such a way that the string remains in contact with the pole at all times.
(You will have to move your hand around the pole, of course). Find time for which this is possible :-

(A) R (B) R (C) 3R (D) 2R

v0 3v0 v0 v0
Ans. C
Sol. Circling around a pole
Let F be the tension in the string. At the mass, the angle between the string and the radius of the
dotted circle is θ = sin–1(r/R). In terms of θ, the radial and tangential F = ma equations are
F cos θ = , and
F sin θ = mv.
Dividing these two equations gives tanθ = . Separating variables and integrating gives

⇒ v(t) =
Remark : Note that v becomes infinite when
t=T= .
In other words, you can keep the mass moving in the desired circle only up to time T. After that, it
is impossible. (Of course, it will become impossible, for all practical purposes, long before v
beomes infinite.) The total distance, d = , is infinite, because this integral diverges (barely,
like a log) as t approaches T.

inclination θ = 30° as shown in figure. If the surface of the inclined plane is sufficiently rough to prevent
sliding then the angle α made by the plane of hemisphere with inclined plane is :

 SECTION-I (ii) : (Maximum Marks: 12)
This section contains THREE (03) questions.
Each question has FOUR options. ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these four option(s) is (are) correct
answer(s).
For each question, choose the option(s) corresponding to (all ) the correct answer(s)
Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking scheme:
Full Marks : +4 If only (all) the correct option(s) is (are) chosen.
Partial Marks : +3 If all the four options are correct but ONLY three options are chosen.
Partial Marks : +2 If three or more options are correct but ONLY two options are chosen and
both of which are correct.
Partial Marks : +1 If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is chosen and it is a
correct option.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered).
Negative Marks : –2 In all other cases.
For Example : If first, third and fourth are the ONLY three correct options for a question with second
option being an incorrect option; selecting only all the three correct options will result in +4 marks.
Selecting only two of the three correct options (e.g. the first and fourth options), without selecting any
incorrect option (second option in this case), will result in +2 marks. Selecting only one of the three
correct options (either first or third or fourth option), without selecting any incorrect option (second
option in this case), will result in +1 marks. Selecting any incorrect option(s) (second option in this
case), with or without selection of any correct option(s) will result in –2 marks.
