A firecracker is thrown with velocity of $30 \,ms ^{-1}$ in a direction which makes an angle of $75^{\circ}$ with the vertical axis. At some point on its trajectory, the firecracker splits into two identical pieces in such a way that one piece falls $27 \,m$ far from the shooting point. Assuming that all trajectories are contained in the same plane, how far will the other piece fall from the shooting point? (Take, $g=10 \,ms ^{-2}$ and neglect air resistance)
$63 \,m$ or $144 \,m$
$72 \,m$ or $99 \,m$
$28 \,m$ or $72 \,m$
$63 \,m$ or $117 \,m$
What are the position of centre of mass of symmetrical and homogeneous bodies?
A thin bar of length $L$ has a mass per unit length $\lambda $, that increases linearly with distance from one end. If its total mass is $M$ and its mass per unit length at the lighter end is $\lambda_0$, then the distance of the centre of mass from the lighter end is
A projectile of mass $3\,m$ explodes at highest point of its path. It breaks into three equal parts. One part retraces its path, the second one comes to rest. The distance of the third part from the point of projection when it finally lands on the ground is ........$m.$ (The range of the projectile was $100\,\,m$ if no explosion would have taken place)
A smaller cube with side $b$ (depicted by dashed lines) is excised from a bigger uniform cube with side $\alpha$ as shown below, such that both cubes have a common vertex $P$. Let $X=a / b$. If the centre of mass of the remaining solid is at the vertex $O$ of smaller cube, then $X$ satisfies
