Suppose that a thin circular metal plate is heated uniformly.

Then it’s radius increases and hence its area

also increases. Suppose we can measure the approximate increase in the radius. How can we estimate
the increase in the area of a circular plate?

Suppose water is getting filled in water tank that is in the shape of an inverted right circular cone. In this
process the height of the water level changes, the radius of the water level changes and the volume of
the water in the tank changes as time changes. In a small interval of time, if we can measure the change
in the height, change in the radius, how can we estimate the change in the volume of the water in the
interval?

An athlete covers 3 rounds on a circular track of radius 50 m. Calculate the total distance and
displacement travelled by him.

Assume your school is located 2 km away from your home. In the morning you are going to school and in
the evening you come back home. In this entire trip what is the distance travelled and the displacement
covered?

Is it possible to measure the depth of a well using kinematic equations?

Four round objects namely a ring, a disc, a hollow sphere and a solid sphere with same radius R start to
roll down an incline at the same time. Find out which object will reach the bottom fi rst.

For all the four objects namely the ring, disc, hollow sphere and solid sphere, the radii of gyration K are
R, 1 2 R, 2 3 R , 2 5 R (ref Table (5.3)). With numerical values the radius of gyration K are 1R, 0.707R,
0.816R, 0.632R respectively. Th e expression for time taken for rolling has the radius of gyration K in the
numerator as per equation 5.63

Th e order of objects reaching the bottom is fi rst, solid sphere; second, disc; third, hollow sphere and
last, ring.

A gun is fired from a place which is at distance 1.2 km from a hill. The echo of the sound is heard back at
the same place of firing after 8 second. Find the speed of sound.

In a murder investigation, a corpse was found by a detective at exactly 8 p.m. Being alert, the detective
also measured the body temperature and found it to be 70o F. Two hours later, the detective measured
the body temperature again and found it to be 60o F. If the room temperature is 50o F, and assuming
that the body temperature of the person before death was 98.6o F, at what time did the murder occur?
