Question
A body is rotating uniformly about a vertical axis fixed in an inertial frame. The resultant force on a particle of the body not on the axis is _________ .
Options
vertical
horizontal and skew with the axis
horizontal and intersecting the axis
None of these
Solution
horizontal and intersecting the axis
Because resultant force on a particle of the body rotating uniformly is always perpendicular to the rotation axis and pass through it.

To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of 200 rad s–1, an engine needs to transmit a torque of 180 Nm. What is the power required by the engine?
(Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice, applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is 100 % efficient.
