1 A particle \(P\) of mass \(m\) is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length \(a\). The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\) on a smooth horizontal plane. The particle \(P\) moves in horizontal circles about \(O\). The tension in the string is \(4 m g\). Find, in terms of \(a\) and \(g\), the time that \(P\) takes to make one complete revolution.

2 A particle \(Q\) of mass \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) falls from rest under gravity. The motion of \(Q\) is resisted by a force of magnitude \(m k v \mathrm {~N}\), where \(v \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) is the speed of \(Q\) at time \(t \mathrm {~s}\) and \(k\) is a positive constant.

3 A particle \(Q\) of mass \(m\) is attached to a fixed point \(O\) by a light inextensible string of length \(a\). The particle moves in complete vertical circles about \(O\). The points \(A\) and \(B\) are on the path of \(Q\) with \(A B\) a diameter of the circle. \(O A\) makes an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) with the downward vertical through \(O\) and \(O B\) makes an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) with the upward vertical through \(O\). The speed of \(Q\) when it is at \(A\) is \(2 \sqrt { \mathrm { ag } }\). Given that \(T _ { A }\) and \(T _ { B }\) are the tensions in the string at \(A\) and \(B\) respectively, find the ratio \(T _ { A } : T _ { B }\).

The base of the cone is joined to one of the circular faces of the cylinder so that the axes of symmetry of the two solids coincide (see diagram). The cone and the cylinder are made of the same material.
  1. Show that the distance of the centre of mass of the combined solid from the vertex of the cone is \(\frac { \left( 99 \mathrm { k } ^ { 2 } + 96 \right) \mathrm { r } } { 18 \mathrm { k } ^ { 2 } + 32 }\).
    The point \(C\) is on the circumference of the base of the cone. When the combined solid is freely suspended from \(C\) and hanging in equilibrium, the diameter through \(C\) makes an angle \(\alpha\) with the downward vertical, where \(\tan \alpha = \frac { 1 } { 8 }\).
  2. Given that the centre of mass of the combined solid is within the cylinder, find the value of \(k\). [4]

The two spheres are each moving with speed \(u\) on a horizontal surface when they collide. Immediately before the collision A's direction of motion makes an angle of \(\alpha ^ { \circ }\) with the line of centres, and \(B\) 's direction of motion is perpendicular to that of \(A\) (see diagram). The coefficient of restitution between the spheres is \(e\). Immediately after the collision, \(B\) moves in a direction at right angles to the line of centres.
  1. Show that \(\tan \alpha = \frac { 1 + e } { 1 - e }\).
  2. Given that \(\tan \alpha = 2\), find the speed of \(A\) after the collision.

6 A particle \(P\) is projected with speed \(u\) at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal from a point \(O\) on a horizontal plane and moves freely under gravity. The direction of motion of \(P\) makes an angle \(\alpha\) above the horizontal when \(P\) first reaches three-quarters of its greatest height.
  1. Show that \(\tan \alpha = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \tan \theta\).
  2. Given that \(\tan \theta = \frac { 4 } { 3 }\), find the horizontal distance travelled by \(P\) when it first reaches three-quarters of its greatest height. Give your answer in terms of \(u\) and \(g\).

The other end of the spring is attached to a particle \(A\) of mass \(k m\), where \(k\) is a constant. Initially the spring lies at rest on a smooth horizontal surface and has length \(a\). A second particle \(B\), of mass \(m\), is moving towards \(A\) with speed \(\sqrt { \frac { 4 } { 3 } \mathrm { ga } }\) along the line of the spring from the opposite direction to \(O\) (see diagram). The particles \(A\) and \(B\) collide and coalesce. At a point \(C\) in the subsequent motion, the length of the spring is \(\frac { 3 } { 4 } a\) and the speed of the combined particle is half of its initial speed.
  3. Find the value of \(k\).
    At the point \(C\) the horizontal surface becomes rough, with coefficient of friction \(\mu\) between the combined particle and the surface. The deceleration of the combined particle at \(C\) is \(\frac { 9 } { 20 } \mathrm {~g}\).
  4. Find the value of \(\mu\).
