A 1 kg mass of clay, moving with a velocity of 10 m/s, strikes a stationary wheel and sticks to it. The solid wheel has a mass of 20 kg and a radius of 1 m. assuming that the wheel and the ground are both rigid and that the wheel is set into pure rolling motion, the angular velocity of the wheel immediately after the impact is approximately

The figure below shown a pair of pin jointed gripper tongs holding an object weighing $$2000N$$. The coefficient of friction (µ) at the gripping surface is $$0.1$$ $$XX$$ is the line of action of the input force and $$Y - Y$$ is the line of application of gripping force. If the pin joint is assumed to be frictionless, the magnitude of force $$F$$ required to hold the weight is

An ejector mechanism consists of a helical compression spring having a spring constant of k = 981 × 10³ N/m. It is pre-compressed by 100mm from its free state. If it is used to eject mass of 100kg heald on it, the mass will move up through a distance of

A rigid body shown in the fig.(a) has a mass of 10kg. It rotates with a uniform angular velocity $$'\omega '$$ A balancing mass of 20 kg is attached as shown in fig.(b). The percentage increase in mass moment of inertia as a result of this addition is
