Question

Two small balls A and B are made of same material, A is solid but B is hollow. These are connected by an ideal spring and this system is kept over a smooth plank such that center of mass of two balls coincide with mid point of the plank. Initially the spring is compressed by a certain amount and the plank is in horizontal position. Now we release the system then,

A
Plank will rotate clock wise
B
Plank will rotate anti clock wise
C

D
It will depend upon string constant.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

according to the given question ,
in the question only it is given that center of mass of body are coinciding with mid point of plank,therefore with respect to the condition of equilibrium,these bodies will be at constant point only.

A plank of mass 5 kg is placed on a frictionless horizontal plane. Further a block of mass 1 kg is placed over the plank. A massless spring of natural length 2 m is fixed to the plank by its one end. The other end of spring is compressed by the block by half of spring's natural length. The system is now released from the rest, velocity of the plank when block leaves the plank is

Q5

Two men 'A' and 'B' are standing on a plank. 'B' is at the middle of the plank and 'A' is at the left end of the plank. The lower surface of the plank is smooth. The system is initially at rest and masses are as shown in the figure. 'A' and 'B' start moving such that the position of 'B' remains fixed with respect to ground. A and B meets at some position. Then the point where A meets B is located at
