A particle of mass M=0.2 kg is initially at rest in the xy-plane at a point x=l, y=h, where l=10 m and h=1 m. The particle is accelerated at time t=0 with a constant acceleration a=10 m s-2 along the positive x-direction. Its angular momentum and torque with respect to the origin, in SI units, are represented by L and  τ, respectively. i^, j^ and k^ are unit vectors along the positive x,y and z-directions, respectively. If k^=i^×j^ then which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?
  1. The particle arrives at the point x=l, y=-h at time t=2 s.
  2. τ=2k^ when the particle passes through the point x=l, y=-h.
  3. L=4k^ when the particle passes through the point x=l, y=-h.
  4. τ=k^ when the particle passes through the point x=0, y=-h.

Solution

At t=2 s:

displacement along +X axis

=12×10×t2

=12×10×4=20 m

Hence, particle arrives at 10,-1

At x=l, y=h,

τ=r×F

=10i^j^×0.2×10i^=2k^ N m

L=r×p=10i^j^×0.2×vi^

and vat t=2s=0+10×2=20 m s-1

  L=10i^j^×4i^=4k^ N m s

At x=0,y=h:

r=0i^j^

F=2i^

  τ=r×F=2k^ N m
