34 Aptitude Test Problems in Physics
Determine the minimum initial velocity
vo at which the body starts moving upwards
without being separated from the surface
of the pipe.

1.67*. An inextensible rope tied to the axle
of a wheel of mass m and radius r is pulled
in the horizontal direction in the plane
of the wheel. The wheel rolls without jump-
ing over a grid consisting of parallel hori-
zontal rods arranged at a distance 1 from
one another (1 < r).
Determine the average tension T of the
rope at which the wheel moves at a constant
velocity v, assuming the mass of the wheel
to be concentrated at its axle.
1.68. Two coupled wheels (i.e. light wheels
of radius r fixed to a thin heavy axle)
roll without slipping at a velocity v per-
pendicular to the boundary over a rough
horizontal plane changing into an inclined
plane of slope a (Fig. 34).
Determine the value of v at which the
coupled wheels roll from the horizontal to
the inclined plane without being separated
from the surface.
