Mechanics and Properties of Matter
Solution
A cone is in unstable equilibrium, has its potential energy
A
decreased
B
increased
C
unchanged
D
oscillating
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
In unstable equilibrium, when the cone is disturbed, it tends to fall further from its equilibrium position, leading to a decrease in height and thus an increase in potential energy.

A mass of 0.5kg is whirled in a vertical circle of radius 2m at a steady rate of 2 rev/s. Calculate the centripetal force
A
164N
B
160N
C

Which of the following readings cannot be determined with a meter rule?
A
2.56cm
B
2.25cm
C
2.50cm
D
2.05cm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Meter rule has a reading accuracy of 0.5mm or 0.05cm, thus measurement is M \pm 0.05cm i.e 2.00, 2.05, 2.50, 2.55 etc.
The reading that cannot be read is 2.56cm.
