Impulse and Momentum question

2021 · Shift 2 · Q47

JEE AdvancedPhysicsImpulse and MomentumNumerical+2 / −1
A pendulum consists of a bob of mass m = 0.1 kg and a massless inextensible string of length L = 1.0 m. It is suspended from a fixed point at height H = 0.9 m above a frictionless horizontal floor. Initially, the bob of the pendulum is lying on the floor at rest vertically below the point of suspension. A horizontal impulse P = 0.2 kg-m/s is imparted to the bob at some instant. After the bob slides for some distance, the string becomes taut and the bob lifts off the floor. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the pendulum about the point of suspension just before the bob lifts off is J kg-m2/s. The kinetic energy of the pendulum just after the lift-off is K Joules. The value of J is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 0.18

  1. Initial geometry

The point of suspension is at height H=0.9 mH=0.9\,\text{m}H=0.9m above the floor, while the string length is L=1.0 mL=1.0\,\text{m}L=1.0m.

Initially, the bob lies on the floor directly below the support. Hence the vertical separation from support to floor is 0.9 m0.9\,\text{m}0.9m, but the string length is 1.0 m1.0\,\text{m}1.0m.

So initially the string is slack by L−H=1.0−0.9=0.1 m.L-H=1.0-0.9=0.1\,\text{m}.L−H=1.0−0.9=0.1m.

  1. Motion after horizontal impulse

A horizontal impulse P=0.2 kg-m/sP=0.2\,\text{kg-m/s}P=0.2kg-m/s is given to the bob.

Since the floor is frictionless, while the bob remains on the floor it moves horizontally with constant speed. Its horizontal momentum remains equal to PPP.

Thus the speed of the bob during sliding is v=Pm=0.20.1=2 m/s.v=\frac{P}{m}=\frac{0.2}{0.1}=2\,\text{m/s}.v=mP​=0.10.2​=2m/s.

  1. Condition when the string becomes taut

Let the support be vertically above the initial point. If the bob has moved a horizontal distance xxx, then the distance from the support to the bob is H2+x2.\sqrt{H^2+x^2}.H2+x2​.

The string becomes taut when this distance equals LLL: H2+x2=L.\sqrt{H^2+x^2}=L.H2+x2​=L. So, x=L2−H2=12−0.92=1−0.81=0.19.x=\sqrt{L^2-H^2}=\sqrt{1^2-0.9^2}=\sqrt{1-0.81}=\sqrt{0.19}.x=L2−H2​=12−0.92​=1−0.81​=0.19​.

  1. Angular momentum about the point of suspension just before lift-off

Just before lift-off, the bob is still moving horizontally with momentum magnitude P=mv=0.2 kg-m/sP=mv=0.2\,\text{kg-m/s}P=mv=0.2kg-m/s.

Angular momentum magnitude about the support is J=r⊥ p,J = r_\perp\, p,J=r⊥​p, where r⊥r_\perpr⊥​ is the perpendicular distance from the support to the line of motion.

Since the bob is moving horizontally along the floor, the line of motion is a horizontal line at vertical distance H=0.9 mH=0.9\,\text{m}H=0.9m below the support. Therefore, r⊥=H=0.9 m.r_\perp = H=0.9\,\text{m}.r⊥​=H=0.9m.

Hence, J=P H=0.2×0.9=0.18 kg-m2/s.J = P\,H = 0.2\times 0.9 = 0.18\,\text{kg-m}^2/\text{s}.J=PH=0.2×0.9=0.18kg-m2/s.

So, J=0.18.\boxed{J=0.18}.J=0.18​.
