MCQ
A helicopter reises from rest on the ground vertically upwards with a constant acceleration $g.$ A food packet is dropped from the helicopter when it is a height $h$. The time taken by the packet to reach the ground is close to $[ g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]
  • A
    $t =\sqrt{\frac{2 h }{3 g }}$
  • B
    $t=1.8 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$
  • $t=3.4 \sqrt{\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)}$
  • D
    $t=\frac{2}{3} \sqrt{\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$t=3.4 \sqrt{\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)}$
c
$t_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad u=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}} \times g=\sqrt{2 g h}$

$\therefore \quad t_{1}=$time to reach top $=\frac{u}{g}=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}$

$\therefore \quad H=h+h^{\prime}=2 h$

$t_{2}=$ time of fall $=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times(2 h)}{g}}$

$\quad=2 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

Total time $=t_{1}+t_{2}$

$\quad=(2+\sqrt{2}) \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

$\quad=3.4 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

A block of mass $M$ has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block rests on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially the right edge of the block is at $x=0$, in a co-ordinate system fixed to the table. A point mass $m$ is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down. When the mass loses contact with the block, its position is $\mathrm{x}$ and the velocity is $\mathrm{v}$. At that instant, which of the following options is/are correct?

$[A]$ The $x$ component of displacement of the center of mass of the block $M$ is : $-\frac{m R}{M+m}$.

[$B$] The position of the point mass is : $x=-\sqrt{2} \frac{\mathrm{mR}}{\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}}$.

[$C$] The velocity of the point mass $m$ is : $v=\sqrt{\frac{2 g R}{1+\frac{m}{M}}}$.

[$D$] The velocity of the block $M$ is: $V=-\frac{m}{M} \sqrt{2 g R}$.
