$A$ thin uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $m$ is kept on a frictionless horizontal table with a massless string of length $L$ fixed to one end (top view is shown in the figure). The other end of the string is pivoted to a point $O$. If a horizontal impulse $P$ is imparted to the rod at a distance $x = L/n$ from the mid-point of the rod (see figure), then the rod and string revolve together around the point $O$, with the rod remaining aligned with the string. In such a case, the value of $n$ is:

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $18$
  • D
    $20$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves in the $XY$ plane with a velocity $v$ along the straight line $AB.$ If the angular momentum of the particle with respect to origin $O$ is $L_A$ when it is at $A$ and $L_B$ when it is at $B,$ then

The position of a particle is given by $\vec r = (\hat i + 2\hat j - \hat k)$ and its momentum is $\vec p = (3\hat i + 4\hat j - 2\hat k)$. The angular momentum is perpendicular to:

$A$ particle of mass $2\, kg$ is on a smooth horizontal table and moves in a circular path of radius $0.6\, m$. The height of the table from the ground is $0.8\, m$. If the angular speed of the particle is $12\, rad\, s^{-1}$,the magnitude of its angular momentum about a point on the ground right under the centre of the circle is ........ $kg\, m^2\, s^{-1}$.
