. Consider a system of N particles in a uniform gravitational field. Prove that the total gravitational torque about center of mass(CM) is zero.?
With what force does a homogeneous ball of mass M attract a material point of mass m, located at distance a from the center of the ball (a>R)?
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.
