Q.

The position vectors of two 1 kg particles, (A) and (B), are given by rA=(α1t2i^+α2j^+α3tk^)m and rB=(β1ti^+β2t2j^+β3t^k^)m, respectively; (α1=1 m/s2, α2=3n m/s, α3=2 m/s, β1=2 m/s), (β2=1 m/s2, β3=4p m/s), where t is time, n and p are constants, At t = 1 s, |VA|=|VB| and velocities VA and VB of the particles are orthogonal to each other. At t = 1 s, the magnitude of angular momentum of particle (A) with respect to the position of particle (B) is Lkgm2s1. The value of L is _________.          [2025]


Ans.

(90)

rA=(α1t2i^+α2j^+α3tk^)m

 drAdt=VA=(2ti^+3nj^+2k^)

rB=(β1ti^+β2t2j^+β3t^k^)

 drBdt=VB=(2i^2j^+4pk^)

At t = 1 s, VA·VB=0

4 – 6n + 8p = 0

 3n=2+4p          ... (i)

At t = 1 s, |VA|=|VB|

4+9n2+4=4+4+16p2

From (i) and (ii), p=14  n=13

The angular momentum of particle (A) with respect to the position of particle (B)

|L|=mA(rA/B×VA)

rA/B=(α1β1)i^+(α2β2)j^+(α3β3)k^

               =(12)i^+(1+1)j^+3k^

L=|i^j^k^123212|=i^+8j^5k^

|L|=1+64+25=90
