There is a rod of length $l$. The velocities of its two ends are $v_1$ and $v_2$ in opposite directions normal to the rod. The distance of the instantaneous axis of rotation from $v_1$ is:

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{v_2}{v_1 + v_2} l$
  • C
    $\frac{v_1 l}{v_1 + v_2}$
  • D
    $l/2$

The instantaneous velocity of point $B$ of a rod of length $0.5 \ m$ is $3 \ m/s$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the rod as shown. Find the angular velocity of the rod such that the velocity of end $A$ is minimum.

$A$ uniform cube of side '$a$' and mass '$m$' rests on a rough horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point that is directly above the centre of the face,at a height $\frac{3a}{4}$ above the base. The minimum value of $F$ for which the cube begins to topple about the edge is (Assume that the cube does not slide).
