A hammer is resting on a plane surface. If force P is applied on the hammer along with a line not passing through its centre of mass, them the hammer _____________

A hammer is resting on a plane surface. If force P is applied on the hammer along with a line not passing through its centre of mass, them the hammer _____________ Correct Answer Rotates about its centre of mass

If single force acts on a body and the line of action of force passes through the centre of mass, the body will have only linear acceleration. When the force is applied along with a line not passing through its centre of mass, then the hammer rotates about its centre of mass.

Given are the steps to draw a perpendicular to a line at a point within the line when the point is near the centre of line. Arrange the steps. Let AB be the line and P be the point in it i. Join F and P which is perpendicular to AB. ii. Now C as centre take the same radius and cut the arc at D and again D as centre with same radius cut the arc further at E. iii. With centre as P take any radius and draw an arc (more than a semicircle) cuts AB at C. iv. Now D, E as centre take radius (more than half of DE) draw arcs which cut at F.
In this question, the first and last sentences of the passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R, and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence and find out which of the four combinations is correct. S1: A force exists between everybody in the universe. P: Normally it is very small but when one of the bodies is a planet, like earth, the force is considerable. Q: It has been investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton. R: Everything on or near the surface of the earth is attracted by the mass of the earth. S: This gravitational force depends on the mass of the bodies involved. S6: The greater the mass, the greater is the earth's force of attraction on it. We can call this force of attraction gravity. The Proper sequence should be:
A mass m is constrained to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is set in circular motion with radius r0 and angular speed ω0 by an applied force $$\overrightarrow {\bf{F}} $$ communicated through an inextensible thread that passesthrough a hole on the surface as shown in figure given below. Then, this force is suddenly doubled.
