4. So far we have considered massless strings going over pulleys where pulleys offer no frictional force on the
rope. Let us now consider friction on a massless rope going over pulley and making contact with it over an
angle θ 0 as shown.

Let T1 > T2 so that rope has a tendency to slide to the right and therefore experiences a frictional force to the
left. Let us now consider a small section of rope of angular width dq over the pulley and see how it remains in
equilibrium.

Paragraph for Questions 11 and 12

If a body of mass 'm' is sliding on a helical groove as shown, it's motion can be partly analysed with the idea
of inclined plane and partly with the idea of circular motion. Here the radius of circle is R and pitch is h. To
understand it closely, let us make an equivalent path is a plane. In one circle, it travels a horizontal distance
2 π R and vertically a distance h. When we flatten out path to two dimensions, the path looks like that on an
inclined plane as shown. So acceleration along the groove will be using. But actually the body is also moving
in a circular path at any time it's vertical velocity will not contribute to circular motion. But the horizontal
velocity will be along the tangent to circle and can be used to find its angular velocity.

that wraps partially around a frictionless vertical pole of radius r (see the top view in figure). You hold on to
the other end of the string. At t = 0, the mass has speed v0 in the tangential direction along the dotted circle of

Sol. Question Explanation: Find the tension developed in a uniform closed chain placed symmetrically on a
fixed smooth spherical stand, given the density and length.
Concept: Tension in a heavy chain/ring placed symmetrically on a sphere.
Solution: The tension T in a heavy chain of length L placed on a sphere of radius R is given by the
formula for the component of weight supported by tension.
mgR
T= cot θ 0
L
where θ 0​is the semi-vertical angle subtended by the chain from the center of the sphere.
Symmetrical Placement: The chain is a uniform closed loop. For equilibrium, the net force on any
segment must be zero. The total weight of the segment Wsegment​is balanced by the vertical
1. components of tension 2T sin α .
Tension Formula (Standard Result): The tension T in a uniform chain of mass M and length L
2. forming a ring of radius R is:
Mg
T= cot α 0 ( α 0 is the semi-vertical angle)
2π
The simplest form for this specific problem is often derived from the angle ϕ between the vertical and
the radius vector to the edge of the chain.
Final Answer (Standard Result): The tension T is T = λ gR(1 − cos ϕ )/sin ϕ . Assuming the problem
meant a direct tension relation proportional to T ∝ λ gR. Final Answer: 1
