A particle P of mass 2m can slide along a smooth rigid straight wire. The wire has one ofits points fixed at the origin ’O’, and is made to rotate in a plane through ’O’ with constantangular speed Ω. Show that r , the distance of P from O, satisfies the equation r ̈ − (Ω^2)*r = 0 Initially, P is at rest (relative to the wire) at a distance a from O. Find r as a function of t in the subsequent motion.
A particle of mass m is at rest at the end of a spring (force constant = k) hanging from a fixed support. At t = 0, a constant downward force F is applied to the mass and acts for a time t0.

A point mass is constrained to move on a massless hoop of radius a fixedin a vertical plane that rotates about its vertical symmetry axis with constantangular speed ω. Obtain the Lagrange equations of motion assuming the only external forces arise from gravity. What are the constants of motion? Show that if ω is greater than a critical value ω0, there can be a solution in which the particle remains stationary on the hoop at a point other than at thebottom, but that if ω < ω0, the only stationary point for the particle is atthe bottom of the hoop. What is the value of ω0?
A body of mass m is suspended by a rod of length L that pivots without friction (as shown). The mass is slowly lifted along a circular arc to a height h. a.

Noting that an element of length along the path of the pendulum is ds = L du, evaluate an integral in u to show that the work done in lifting the mass to a height h is mgh.
