Q.

Column-II shows five systems in which two objects are labelled as X and Y. Also in each case a point P is shown. Column-I gives some statements about X and/or Y. Match these statements to the appropriate system(s) from Column II.                              [2009]

  Column-I   Column-II
(A) The force exerted by X on Y has a magnitude (p)

Block Y of mass M left on a fixed inclined plane X, slides on it with a constant velocity.

(B) The gravitational potential energy of X is continuously increasing. (q)

Two ring magnets Y and Z, each of mass MMM, are kept in a frictionless vertical plastic stand so that they repel each other. Y rests on the base X and Z hangs in air in equilibrium. P is the topmost point of the stand on the common axis of the two rings. The whole system is in a lift that is going up with a constant velocity.

(C) Mechanical energy of the system X + Y is continuously decreasing. (r)

A pulley Y of mass m0m_0m0 is fixed to a table through a clamp X. A block of mass MMM hangs from a string that goes over the pulley and is fixed at point P of the table. The whole system is kept in a lift that is going down with a constant velocity.

(D) The torque of the weight of Y about point P is zero. (s)

A sphere Y of mass M is put in a non-viscous liquid X kept in a container at rest. The sphere is released and moves down in the liquid.

    (t)

A sphere Y of mass M is falling with its terminal velocity in a viscous liquid X kept in a container.

Ans.

 (2)

(p) As the velocity is constant

 f=mgsinθ

But f=μN=μmgcosθ

 μmgcosθ=mgsinθμ=tanθ

The force by X on Y is the resultant of f and N.

f2+N2=μ2N2+N2=μ2+1N

=(tan2θ+1)mgcosθ=secθmgcosθ=mg

=weight of Y.

Again, due to the presence of frictional force between Y and X, the mechanical energy of the system (X + Y) decreases continuously as Y slides down.

(q) Lift moves up, X also moves up and therefore the gravitational energy of X is continuously increasing.

T of weight of Y about P as the perpendicular distance of the line of action of force from the point P is zero. Force exerted by X on Y =Mg+Mg=2Mg 

where Mg is wt. of Y and Mg is the force on Y due to Z.

(r) 

In this case the force exerted by X on Y = force exerted by Y on X. The force on X due to Y is

           R=(Mg)2+[(m0+M)g]2Mg

The mechanical energy of the system (X + Y) is continuously decreasing as the system is coming down and its potential energy is decreasing, the kinetic energy remaining the same.

The torque of the weight of Y about P0

(s)  Force on Y by X is = wt. of liquid displaced which cannot be equal to Mg as the density of Y > density of X (Y is sinking)

The gravitational potential energy of X increases continuously because as Y moves down, the centre of mass of X moves up.

(t)  Sphere Y is moving with terminal velocity VT

Net force on Y is zero i.e. Mg=B+Fv

The B+Fv are exerted by X on Y.

The gravitational potential energy of X is continuously increasing because as Y moves down, the centre of mass of X moves up.

The mechanical energy of the system (X + Y) is continuously decreasing to overcome the viscous forces.
