Q3 of 149 Page 194

A particle moves with a constant velocity parallel to the X-axis. Its angular momentum with respect to the origin

Angular momentums at three points E F G are,




V=constant, rsinθ=constant. Hence, L remains constant.


The direction in this case is always inwards the plane of paper.

Figure (10-Q3) shows a small wheel fixed coaxially on a bigger one of double the radius. The system rotates about the common axis. The strings supporting A and B do not slip on the wheels. If x and y be the distances travelled by A and B in the same time interval, then
