A uniform rod of length \(200 \mathrm{~cm}\) and mass \(500 \mathrm{~g}\) is balanced on a wedge placed at \(40 \mathrm{~cm}\) mark. A mass of \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) is suspended from the rod at \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\) and another unknown mass \(m\) is suspended from the rod at \(160 \mathrm{~cm}\) mark as shown in the figure. Find the value of \(m\) such that the rod is in equilibrium. \(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\right) \quad\) [NEET 2021]
As we know in equilibrium net moment of force is equals to zero.
\(
\begin{aligned}
&2 g \times 20=0.5 \mathrm{~g} \times 60+\mathrm{mg} \times 120 \\
&\mathrm{~m}=\frac{0.5}{6} \mathrm{~kg}=\frac{1}{12} \mathrm{~kg}
\end{aligned}

From a circular ring of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\), an arc corresponding to a \(90^{\circ}\) sector is removed. The moment of inertia of the remaining part of the ring about an axis passing through the centre of the ring and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is \(K\) times \(M R^2\). Then, the value of \(K\) is \(\quad\) [NEET 2021]
The moment of inertia of a ring about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the ring is \(I=M R^2\)
Mass of the remaining portion of the ring as shown in figure \((ii)\) is \(M-\frac{M}{4}=\frac{3 M}{4}\)
Moment of inertia of the remaining portion of the ring about the given axis is \(I^{\prime}=\frac{3}{4} M R^2\) But \(I^{\prime}=k M R^2\) (given)
\(
\therefore k=\frac{3}{4}
\)
Three identical spheres, each of mass \(M\), are placed at the corners of a right-angle triangle with the mutually perpendicular sides equal to \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) (see figure). Taking the point of intersection of the two mutually perpendicular sides as the origin, find the position vector of centre of mass. [NEET (Oct.) 2020]
The given situation is shown in the figure.
Position vector of centre of mass,
\(
\begin{aligned}
\boldsymbol{R}_{\mathrm{CM}} &=\frac{m_1 \mathbf{r}_1+m_2 \mathbf{r}_2}{M_1+M_2} \\
&=\frac{M O \mathbf{A}+M O B}{M+M} \\
&=\frac{M \times 2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+M \times 2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}}{2 M}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}
\end{aligned}
\)
Find the torque about the origin when a force of \(3 \hat{\mathbf{j}} \mathrm{N}\) acts on the particle whose position vector is \(2 \hat{\mathbf{k}} \mathrm{m}\). [NEET (Sep.) 2020]
Given, position vector, \(\mathbf{r}=2 \hat{\mathbf{k}} \mathrm{m}\)
Force, \(\mathbf{F}=3 \hat{\mathbf{j}} \mathrm{N}\)
As, torque, \(\tau=\mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{F}=2 \hat{\mathbf{k}} \times 3 \hat{\mathbf{j}}=6(-\hat{\mathbf{i}})[latex] [latex]=-6 \hat{\mathbf{i}} \mathrm{N}\mathrm{m}\)
Hence, the correct option is (b).
Two particles of mass \(5 \mathrm{~kg}\) and 10 \(\mathrm{kg}\) respectively are attached to the two ends of a rigid rod of length \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) with negligible mass. The centre of mass of the system from the \(5 \mathrm{~kg}\) particle is nearly at a distance of [NEET (Sep.) 2020]
Given, \(m_1=5 \mathrm{~kg}, m_2=10 \mathrm{~kg}\) and \(r=1 \mathrm{~m}=100 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Let the centre of mass lies at origin O.
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\therefore \quad \frac{m_1 r_1-m_2 r_2}{m_1+m_2}=0\\
&\Rightarrow \quad 5 r_1-10 r_2=0\\
&\Rightarrow \quad r_2=\frac{r_1}{2}\\
&\text { Also, } \quad r_1+r_2=100\\
&\Rightarrow \quad r_1+\frac{r_1}{2}=100\\
&\Rightarrow \quad 3 r_1=200\\
&\Rightarrow \quad r_1=\frac{200}{3}=67 \mathrm{~cm}\\
&\text { Hence, correct option is (b). }

The angular speed of the wheel of a vehicle is increased from \(360 \mathrm{rpm}\) to \(1200 \mathrm{rpm}\) in \(14 \mathrm{~s}\). Its angular acceleration is [NEET (Oct.)2020]
Initial angular speed of wheel,
\(
\begin{aligned}
\omega_0 &=2 \pi f_0=2 \pi \times \frac{360}{60} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\
&=12 \pi \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}
\)
Final angular speed of wheel,
\(
\begin{aligned}
\omega &=2 \pi \mathrm{f} \\
&=2 \pi \times \frac{1200}{60} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}=40 \pi \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\
t &=14 \mathrm{~s}
\end{aligned}
\)
From the equation of rotational motion,
\(\omega=\omega_0+\alpha t\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \alpha=\frac{\omega-\omega_0}{t}\)
\(=\frac{40 \pi-12 \pi}{14}=\frac{28 \pi}{14}=2 \pi \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2\)
The correct answer is (a).
Two particles \(A\) and \(B\) are moving in uniform circular motion in concentric circles of radii \(\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{A}}\) and \(\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{B}}\) with speed \(v_A\) and \(v_B\) respectively. Their time period of rotation is the same. The ratio of angular speed of \(\mathrm{A}\) to that of \(\mathrm{B}\) will be: [NEET 2019]
Let \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}\) and \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}\) are the time periods of particle \(A\) and \(B\) respectively. According to question,
\(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{T}\)
If \(\omega_A\) and \(\omega_B\) are their angular speeds, then
\(\omega_A=\frac{2 \pi}{T_A}\) and \(\omega_B=\frac{2 \pi}{T_B}\)
\(
\therefore \frac{\omega_{\mathrm{A}}}{\omega_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{TA}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{T}}= 1: 1
\)
A particle starting from rest, moves in a circle of radius ‘ \(r\) ‘. It attains a velocity of \(V_0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in the \(\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}\) round. Its angular acceleration will be, [NEET Odisha 2019]
From third equation of motion for circular motion
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\qquad \omega^2-\omega_0^2=2 \alpha \theta \dots(i)\\
&\text { where, } \omega=\text { final angular velocity of particle } \\
&\omega_0=\text { initial angular velocity } \\
&\alpha=\text { angular acceleration and } \\
&\theta=\text { angular displacement } \\
&\text { Here, } \omega=\frac{v_0}{r} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \text { (where, } r \text { radius of } \\
&\begin{array}{l}
\omega_0=0 \text { (initially particle is at rest) } \\
\theta=2 \pi n \text { (for } n \text { rounds) }
\end{array} \\
&\begin{array}{l}
\text { Substituting these values in Eq. (i), } \\
\text { we get } \\
\Rightarrow \quad\left(\frac{v_0}{r}\right)^2-0=2 \alpha(2 \pi n)
\end{array} \\
&\quad \alpha=\frac{v_0^2}{4 \pi n r^2} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2
\end{aligned}

A solid cylinder of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) and radius \(4 \mathrm{~cm}\) is rotating about its axis at the rate of \(3 \mathrm{rpm}\). The torque required to stop after \(2 \pi\) revolutions is: [NEET (National) 2019]
Key Idea According to the work-energy theorem, the change in kinetic energy of a particle is the amount of work done on the particle to move, i.e.
\(
W=-\Delta K E=K E_f-K E_i
\)
Given, mass of cylinder, \(m=2 \mathrm{~kg}\)
radius of cylinder, \(r=4 \mathrm{~cm}=4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}\)
rotational velocity, \(\omega=3 \mathrm{rpm}\)
\(=3 \times \frac{2 \pi}{60}=\frac{\pi}{10} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(\theta=2 \pi\) revolution \(=2 \pi \times 2 \pi=4 \pi^2 \mathrm{rad}\).
The work done in rotating an object by an angle \(\theta\) from rest is given by \(W=\tau \theta\)
As the cylinder is brought to rest, so the work done will be negative.
According to work-energy theorem,
Work done \(=\) Change in rotational kinetic energy
\(
\begin{aligned}
&-\tau \theta=\frac{1}{2} I \omega_{\mathrm{f}}^2-\frac{1}{2} I \omega_1^2=\frac{1}{2} I\left(\omega_{\mathrm{f}}^2-\omega_i^2\right) \\
&\Rightarrow \quad \tau \quad \frac{I\left(-\omega_i^2\right)}{2 \theta} \quad\left[\because \omega_{\mathrm{f}}=0\right] \\
&\quad=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2} m r^2\right) \frac{\omega_i^2}{\theta}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\quad\left[I=\frac{1}{2} M R^2 \text { (for cylinder) }\right] \\
&=\frac{1}{4} m r^2 \frac{\omega^2}{\theta} \quad \quad\left[\because \omega_i=\omega\right] \\
&=\frac{1}{4} \times 2 \times\left(4 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2 \times\left(\frac{\pi}{10}\right)^2 \times \frac{1}{4 \pi^2} \\
&=\frac{1}{4} \times 2 \times 16 \times 10^{-4} \times \frac{\pi^2}{100} \times \frac{1}{4 \pi^2} \\
&=\frac{2}{100} \times 10^{-4}=2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~N}\mathrm{m}
\end{aligned}
\)
A disc of radius \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) and mass 100 kg rolls on a horizontal floor. Its centre of mass has speed of 20 \(\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}\). How much work is needed to stop it? [NEET (National) 2019]
(a) Work done to stop the disc \(=\) change in total kinetic energy of disc
Final \(\mathrm{KE}=0\)
Initial KE = Translational K.E. \(+\) Rotational K.E.
\(
\begin{aligned}
&=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2+\frac{1}{2} l \omega^2 \\
&=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\mathrm{mR}^2}{2} \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)^2 \\
&=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2+\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{mv}^2=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{mv}^2 \\
&=\frac{3}{4} \times 100 \times\left(20 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2=3 \mathrm{~J} \\
&|\Delta \mathrm{KE}|=3 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}
\)
A solid cylinder of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) and radius \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\) rolls up an inclined plane of angle inclination \(30^{\circ}\). The centre of mass of cylinder has speed of \(4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). The distance travelled by the cylinder on the inclined surface will be : \(\left(\right.\) Take \(\left.g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\right)\) [NEET (Odisha) 2019]
When a body rolls i.e. have rotational motion, the total kinetic energy of the system will be
\(
K E=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\left(1+\frac{k^2}{R^2}\right)
\)
where, \(m=\) mass of body, \(v=\) velocity and \(k=\) radius of gyration
Given, \(m=2 \mathrm{~kg}, \theta=30^{\circ}, \mathrm{v}=4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Let \(h\) be the height of the inclined plane, then from law of conservation of energy,
(1V) \(\begin{aligned} K E &=P E \\ \frac{1}{2} m v^2\left(1+\frac{K^2}{R^2}\right) &=m g h \end{aligned}\)
Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 16\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right) &=2 \times 10 \times \mathrm{h} \\
& {\left[\because \text { For cylinder } \frac{k^2}{R^2}=\frac{1}{2}\right] } \\
\Rightarrow \quad & 8 \times \frac{3}{2}=10 \mathrm{~h} \Rightarrow h=1.2 \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
\)
From the above diagram
\(
\begin{aligned}
\sin \theta &=\frac{h}{x} \\
\Rightarrow x=\frac{h}{\sin \theta}=\frac{1.2}{\sin 30^{\circ}}=12 \times 2=2.4 \mathrm{~m} \\
{\left[\because \sin 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\right] }
\end{aligned}
\)
A solid sphere is rotating freely about its symmetry axis in free space. The radius of the sphere is increased keeping its mass same. Which of the following physical quantities would remain constant for the sphere? [NEET 2018]
The moment of inertia of a rotating solid sphere about its symmetrical (diametric) axis is given as, \(I=\frac{2}{5} m r^2\)
The rotational kinetic energy of a solid sphere is
\(
\begin{aligned}
K_t &=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \\
&=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{5} m r^2 \omega^2=\frac{1}{5} m r^2 \omega^2
\end{aligned}
\)
Angular velocity, \(\omega=v r\)
As, we know that external torque,
\(
\tau_{\text {ext }}=\frac{d L}{d t}
\)
where, \(L\) is the angular momentum.
Since, in the given condition, \(\tau_{\text {ext }}=0\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{d L}{d t}=0\) or \(L=\) constant
Hence, when the radius of the sphere is increased keeping its mass the same, only the angular momentum remains constant. But other quantities like the moment of inertia, rotational kinetic energy, and angular velocity changes.
A solid sphere is in rolling motion. In rolling motion a body possesses translational kinetic energy \(\left(\mathrm{K}_t\right)\) as well as rotational kinetic energy \(\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{r}}\right)\) simultaneously. The ratio \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{t}}:\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{r}}\right)\) for the sphere is [NEET 2018]
In rolling motion, rotational translational kinetic energy.
\(
\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { And, } \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\\
&=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5} m r^2\right)\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2=\frac{7}{10} m v^2\\
&\therefore \quad \frac{K_t}{K_t+K_r}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} m v^2}{\frac{7}{10} m v^2}=\frac{5}{7}
\end{aligned}
\)
Three objects, A : (a solid sphere), B : (a thin circular disk) and C: (a circular ring), each have the same mass \(\mathrm{M}\) and radius \(\mathrm{R}\). They all spin with the same angular speed \(\omega\) about their own symmetry axes. The amount of work (W) required to bring them to rest, would satisfy the relation [NEET 2018]
Work done required to bring an object to rest is given as
\(
W=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2
\)
where, \(I\) is the moment of inertia and \(\omega\) is the angular velocity.
Since, here all the objects spin with the same \(\omega\), this means,
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { As, } I_A \text { (for a solid sphere) }=\frac{2}{5} M R^2 \\
&I_B \text { (for a thin circular disk) }=\frac{1}{2} M R^2 \\
&\begin{aligned}
I_C(\text { for a circular ring) }&=M R^2 \\
\therefore \quad W_A: W_B: W_C &=I_A: I_B: I_C \\
&=\frac{2}{5} M R^2: \frac{1}{2} M R^2: M R^2 \\
&=\frac{2}{5}: \frac{1}{2}: 1 \\
&=4: 5: 10 \\
\Rightarrow \quad W_A &<W_B<W_C
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
The moment of the force, \(\mathbf{F}=4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-6 \hat{\mathbf{k}}\) at \((2,0,-3)\), about the point \((2,-2,-2)\), is given by [NEET 2018]
Key Concept Moment of force is defined as the cross product of the force and the force arm.
\(
\text { Given, } \quad \begin{aligned}
\quad & \mathbf{F}=4 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-6 \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\
\mathbf{r}_1=2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+0 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-3 \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\
\quad \mathbf{r}_2=2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{k}}
\end{aligned}
\)
Moment of force \(=\mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{F}\)
\(=\left(\mathbf{r}_1-\mathbf{r}_2\right) \times \mathbf{F}\)
\(=[-(2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-2 \hat{\mathbf{k}})+(2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+0 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-3 \hat{\mathbf{k}})]\)
\(\times[4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-6 \hat{\mathbf{k}}]\)
\(=[0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-1 \hat{\mathbf{k}}] \times[4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-6 \hat{\mathbf{k}}]\)
\(=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{\mathbf{i}} & \hat{\mathbf{j}} & \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\ 0 & 2 & -1 \\ 4 & 5 & -6\end{array}\right|\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&=\hat{\mathbf{i}}[(-6 \times 2)-(-1 \times 5)] \\
&-\hat{\mathbf{j}}[(-6 \times 0)-(-1 \times 4)]+\hat{\mathbf{k}}[(0 \times 5)-2 \times 4] \\
&=-7 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-4 \hat{\mathbf{j}}-8 \hat{\mathbf{k}}
\end{aligned}
\)
Which of the following statements are correct? [2017]
(A) Centre of mass of a body always coincides with the centre of gravity of the body
(B) Centre of mass of a body is the point at which the total gravitational torque on the body is zero
(C) A couple on a body produce both translational and rotation motion in a body
(D) Mechanical advantage greater than one means that small effort can be used to lift a large load
Mechanical advantage, M. A. \(=\frac{\text { Load }}{\text { Effort }}\) If M.A. \(>1 \Rightarrow\) Load \(>\) Effort
Centre of mass may or may not coincide with centre of gravity. Net torque of gravitational pull is zero about centre of mass.
\(\tau_g=\Sigma \tau_i=\Sigma r_i \times m_{i g}=0\)
The correct answer is option d
A rope is wound around a hollow cylinder of mass \(3 \mathrm{~kg}\) and radius \(40 \mathrm{~cm}\). What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder if the rope is pulled with a force of \(30 \mathrm{~N}\)? [NEET 2017]
Given, mass of cylinder \(\mathrm{m}=3 \mathrm{~kg}\), \(\mathrm{R}=40 \mathrm{~cm}=0.4 \mathrm{~m}\), \(\mathrm{F}=30 \mathrm{~N} ; \alpha=\)?
As we know, torque \(\tau=I \alpha\) \(\mathrm{F} \times \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{MR}^2 \alpha\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\alpha=\frac{F \times R}{\mathrm{MR}^2} \\
&\alpha=\frac{30 \times(0.4)}{3 \times(0.4)^2} \text { or, } \alpha=25 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2
\end{aligned}
\)
The correct answer is c.
Two discs of same moment of inertia rotating about their regular axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the plane of disc with angular velocities \(\omega_1\) and \(\omega_2\). They are brought into contact face to face coinciding the axis of rotation. The expression for loss of energy during this process is: [NEET 2017]
When no external torque acts on system then, angular momentum of system remains constant. Angular momentum before contact \(\mathrm{I} \omega_1+\mathrm{I} \omega_2=2 \mathrm{I} \omega\)
\(\omega=\frac{\omega_1+\omega_2}{2}\)
Angular momentum after the discs brought into contact
\(
=I_{\text {net }} \omega=\left(I_1+I_2\right) \omega
\)
So, final angular speed of system \(=\omega\)
\(
=\frac{I_1 \omega_1+I_2 \omega_2}{I_1+I_2}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&(\text { K.E. })_i=\frac{1}{2} I \omega_1^2+\frac{1}{2} I \omega_2^2 \\
&(\text { K.E. })_f=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 I \omega^2=I\left(\frac{\omega_1+\omega_2}{2}\right)^2
\end{aligned}
\)
Loss in K.E. \(=(\mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E})_{\mathbf{f}}-(\mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E})_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{I}\left(\omega_1-\omega_2\right)^2\)
A uniform circular disc of radius \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\) at rest is free to turn about an axis which is perpendicular to its plane and passes through its centre. It is subjected to a torque which produces a constant angular acceleration of \(2.0 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-2}\). Its net acceleration in \(\mathrm{ms}^{-2}\) at the end of \(2.0 \mathrm{~s}\) is approximately: [NEET 2016]
Given: Radius of disc, \(R=50 \mathrm{~cm}\) Angular acceleration, \(\alpha=2.0\) rads \(^{-2}\); time \(t=2 \mathrm{~s}\) Particle at periphery (assume) will have both radial (one) and tangential acceleration \(a_t=R \alpha=0.5 \times 2=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\)
Angular speed
\(\omega=\omega_0+\alpha t\) \(\omega=0+2 \times 2=4 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}\) Centripetal acceleration
\(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{c}}=\omega^2 \mathrm{R}=(4)^2 \times 0.5=16 \times 0.5=8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\), Linear acceleration, \(\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{t}}=\alpha . \mathrm{R}=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}^2\)
Net acceleration,
\(\mathrm{a}_{\text {total }}=\sqrt{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{t}}^2+\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{c}}^2}=\sqrt{1^2+8^2} \approx 8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\)
The acceleration of the particle moving in a circle has two components; tangential acceleration (\(a_t\)) which is along the tangent and radial acceleration (\(a_r\)) which 15 towards the centre of circle. As the two components are mutually perpendicular therefore, net acceleration of the particle will be \(a=\sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}\)
Option a is the correct answer.
From a disc of radius \(\mathrm{R}\) and mass \(\mathrm{M}\), a circular hole of diameter \(\mathrm{R}\), whose rim passes through the centre is cut. What is the moment of inertia of the remaining part of the disc about a perpendicular axis, passing through the centre? [NEET 2016]
Considering the information given in the question, let us draw the figure
If the above figure is considered, then moment of inertia of disc will be given as
\(
I=I_{\text {remain }}+I_{[R / 2]} \Rightarrow I_{\text {remain }}=I-I_{[R / 2]}
\)
Putting the values, we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
&=\frac{M R^2}{2}-\left[\frac{\frac{M}{4}\left(\frac{R}{2}\right)^2}{2}+\frac{M}{4}\left(\frac{R}{2}\right)^2\right] \\
&=\frac{M R^2}{2}-\left[\frac{M R^2}{32}+\frac{M R^2}{16}\right] \\
&=\frac{M R^2}{2}-\left[\frac{M R^2+2 M R^2}{32}\right] \\
&=\frac{M R^2}{2}-\frac{3 M R^2}{32} \\
&=\frac{16 M R^2}{32}-3 M R^2 \\
\text I_{\text {remain }} &=\frac{13 M R^2}{32}
\end{aligned}

A disc and a sphere of the same radius but different masses roll off on two inclined planes of the same altitude and length. Which one of the two objects gets to the bottom of the plane first? [NEET 2016]
Time of descent \(\propto \frac{\mathrm{K}^2}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
Order of value of \(\frac{\mathrm{K}^2}{\mathrm{R}^2}\)
for disc; \(\frac{\mathrm{K}^2}{\mathrm{R}^2}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\)
for sphere; \(\frac{\mathrm{K}^2}{\mathrm{R}^2}=\frac{2}{5}=0.4\)
(sphere) \(<\) (disc)
\(\therefore \quad\) Sphere reaches first
The value \(\frac{\mathrm{K}^2}{\mathrm{R}^2}\) is a measure of moment of inertia. Its. value is fixed for a particular shape of the body and independent of mass and radius of the body.
The correct option is (a).
A light rod of length l has two masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) attached to its two ends. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the centre of mass is [NEET 2016]
COM(Centre Of Mass) of \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) masses lies at
\(
r=\frac{m_1 r_1+m_2 r_2}{m_1+m_2}
\)
\(\therefore\) Moment of inertia of the point masses about the given axis is
\(
\begin{aligned}
I &=\sum m_i r_i^2 \Rightarrow I=m_1 r_1^2+m_2 r_2^2 \\
&=m_1\left(\frac{m_2 I}{m_1+m_2}\right)^2+m_2\left(\frac{m_1 I}{m_1+m_2}\right)^2 \\
&=\frac{m_1 m_2 I^2}{\left(m_1+m_2\right)^2}\left(m_2+m_1\right)=\frac{m_1 m_2 I^2}{\left(m_1+m_2\right)}
\end{aligned}
\)
Two rotating bodies \(A\) and \(B\) of masses \(m\) and \(2 m\) with moments of inertia \(I_A\) and \(I_B\left(I_B>I_A\right)\) have equal kinetic energy of rotation. If \(L_A\) and \(L_B\) be their angular momenta respectively, then [NEET 2016]
As we know, the kinetic energy of a rotating body,
\(
K E=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2
\)
\(
=\frac{1I^2 \omega^2}{2 I}

Also, angular momentum, \(L=I \omega\)
Thus, \(\quad K_A=K_B\)

A solid sphere of mass \(m\) and radius \(R\) is rotating about its diameter. A solid cylinder of the same mass and same radius is also rotating about its geometrical axis with an angular speed twice that of the sphere. The ratio of their kinetic energies of rotation \(\left(E_{\text {sphere }} / E_{\text {cylinder }}\right)\) will be [NEET 2016]
The correct answer is option (b)
Key Idea KE of a rotating rigid body,
\(K E=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\)
\(\therefore\) KE of sphere, \(K_s=\frac{1}{2} I \omega_1^2=\frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{5} m R^2 \omega_1^2\)
\(=\frac{1}{5} m R^2 \omega_1^2\)
KE of cylinder, \(K_c=\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{2} m R^2 \omega_2^2\)
\(=\frac{1}{4} m R^2 \omega_2^2\)
\(\therefore \quad \frac{K_s}{K_c}=\frac{\frac{m R^2 \omega_1^2}{5}}{\frac{m R^2 \omega_2^2}{4}}\)
\(=\frac{4}{5} \frac{\omega_1^2}{\omega_2^2}=\frac{4}{5} \frac{\omega_1^2}{\left(2 \omega_1\right)^2}\)
\(=\frac{1}{5} \quad\) (given, \(\omega_2=2 \omega_1\) )
A mass \(m\) moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity \(v_0\) at a radius \(R_0\). The mass is attached to the string which passes through a smooth hole in the plane as shown in the figure below. The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally \(\mathrm{m}\) moves in a circle of radius \(\frac{\mathrm{R}_0}{2}\). The final value of the kinetic energy is [NEET 2015]
The correct option is (b)
Applying angular momentum conservation
\(
\mathrm{mv}_0 \mathrm{R}_0=(\mathrm{m})(\mathrm{v})\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_0}{2}\right)
\)
\(
\therefore \quad \mathrm{v}^{\prime}=2 \mathrm{v}_0
\)
Therefore, final \(\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}\left(2 \mathrm{v}_0\right)^2=2 \mathrm{mv}_0^2\)
A rod of weight \(w\) is supported by two parallel knife edges \(A\) and \(B\) and is in equilibrium in a horizontal position. The knives are at a distance \(d\) from each other. The centre of mass of the rod is at distance \(x\) from \(A\). The normal reaction on A is [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
As the weight w balances the normal reactions.
So, \(\quad w=N_1+N_2 \quad\)…(i)
Now balancing torque about the COM,
i.e. anti-clockwise momentum
\(=\) clockwise momentum
\(\Rightarrow \quad N_1 x=N_2(d-x)\) Putting the value of \(N_2\) from Eq. (i), we get
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
& N_1 x=\left(w-N_1\right)(d-x) \\
\Rightarrow & N_1 x=w d-w x-N_1 d+N_1 x \\
\Rightarrow & N_1 d=w(d-x) \\
\Rightarrow & N_1=\frac{w(d-x)}{d}

An automobile moves on a road with a speed of \(54 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\). The radius of its wheels is \(0.45 \mathrm{~m}\) and the moment of inertia of the wheel about its axis of rotation is \(3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}\). If the vehicle is brought to rest in 15 \(\mathrm{s}\), the magnitude of average torque transmitted by its brakes to the wheel is [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
As the velocity of an automobile vehicle,
\(
v=54 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}=54 \times \frac{5}{18}=15 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\)
Angular velocity of a vehicle, \(v=\omega_0 r\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \omega_0=\frac{v}{R}=\frac{15}{0.45}=\frac{100}{3} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\)
So, angular acceleration of an automobile,
\(
\begin{aligned}
\alpha &=\frac{\Delta \omega}{t}=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_0}{t}=\frac{0-\frac{100}{3}}{15} \\
&=\frac{-100}{45} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2
\end{aligned}
\)
Thus, the magnitude of average torque transmitted by its brakes to the wheel
\(
\tau=I \alpha \Rightarrow 3 \times \frac{100}{45}=6.66 \mathrm{kgm}^2 \mathrm{~s}^{-2}

Point masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are placed at the opposite ends of a rigid rod of length \(L\) and negligible mass. The rod is to be set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it. The position of point \(P\) on this rod through which the axis should pass, so that the work required to set the rod rotating with angular velocity \(\omega_0\) is minimum, is given by [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
The correct option is (d)
From the figure, Total moment of inertia of the rod,
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{m}_2(\mathrm{~L}-\mathrm{x})^2 \\
&\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{m}_2\left[\mathrm{~L}^2+\mathrm{x}^2-2 \mathrm{Lx}\right] \\
&\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{m}_2 \mathrm{~L}^2+\mathrm{m}_2 \mathrm{x}^2-2 \mathrm{~m}_2 \mathrm{Lx} \\
&\text { As I is minimum, so, } \frac{\mathrm{dI}}{\mathrm{dx}}=0 \\
&\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{dI}}{\mathrm{dx}}=2 \mathrm{~m}_1 \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{~m}_2 \mathrm{x}-2 \mathrm{~m}_2 \mathrm{~L}
\end{aligned}
\)
Using equation (i)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\Rightarrow \quad 2 \mathrm{~m}_1 \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{~m}_2 \mathrm{x}-2 \mathrm{~m}_2 \mathrm{~L}=0 \\
&\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_2 \mathrm{~L}}{\left(\mathrm{~m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2\right)}
\end{aligned}
\)
When \(\mathrm{I}\) is minimum, the work done by rotating a rod will be minimum.
Alternate way:
Work required to set the rod rotating with angular velocity \(\omega_0\).
K.E. \(=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega_0^2\)
Work is minimum, when \(I\) is minimum. I is minimum about the centre of mass.
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\therefore m_1 x_1=m_2(L-x) \\
& m_1 x-m_2 L-m_2 x \\
&\therefore x=\frac{m_2 L}{m_1+m_2}

A force \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\alpha \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+6 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\) is acting at a point \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-6 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-12 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\). The value of \(\alpha\) for which angular momentum about the origin is conserved is: [2015 RS]
(d) From Newton’s second law for rotational motion,
\(\vec{\tau}=\frac{\mathrm{d} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}}{\mathrm{dt}}\), if \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}=\) constant then \(\vec{\tau}=0\)
So, \(\vec{\tau}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=0\)
\((2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-6 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-12 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \times(\alpha \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+6 \hat{\mathrm{k}})=0\)
Solving we get \(\alpha=-1\)
Three identical spherical shells, each of mass \(m\) and radius \(r\) are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis \(X X^{\prime}\), which is touching two shells and passing through the diameter of the third shell.
Moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spherical shells about \(X X^{\prime}\) axis is [CBSE AIPMT 2015]
(d) Moment of inertia of shell 1 along the diameter

A solid cylinder of mass \(50 \mathrm{~kg}\) and radius \(0.5 \mathrm{~m}\) is free to rotate about the horizontal axis. A massless string is wound round the cylinder with one end attached to it and the other hanging freely. Tension in the string required to produce an angular acceleration of \(2 \mathrm{rev} /\mathrm{s}^2\) is [CBSE AIPMT 2014]
Given, \(m=50 \mathrm{~kg}, r=0.5 \mathrm{~m}\),
\(\alpha=2 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s}^2 = =4 \pi \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2 \text { (given) }
\)
Torque produced by the tension in the string.
\(

\)
\(
\mathrm{I}_{\text {cylinder }}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mr}^2=\frac{1}{2}(50)(0.5)^2=\frac{25}{4} \mathrm{Kg}-\mathrm{m}^2
\)
As \(\tau=\mathrm{I} \alpha\) so \(\mathrm{Tr}=\mathrm{I} \alpha\)
\(

The ratio of the accelerations for a solid sphere (mass ‘ \(m\) ‘ and radius ‘ \(R\) ‘) rolling down an incline of angle ‘ \(\theta\) ‘ without slipping and slipping down the incline without rolling is: [AIPMT 2014]
In this case, \(a_1=\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{k^2}{R^2}}=\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{(2 / 5) R^2}{R^2}}\)
\(\left[\therefore\right.\) for solid sphere, \(\left.k^2=\frac{2}{5} R^2\right]\)
\(=\frac{g \sin \theta}{7 / 5} \Rightarrow a_1=\frac{5}{7} g \sin \theta\)
For a sphere slipping down an inclined plane
\(
\Rightarrow a_2=g \sin \theta \Rightarrow \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{5 / 7 g \sin \theta}{g \sin \theta}
\)
\(

A rod \(P Q\) of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) is hinged at end \(P\). The rod is kept horizontal by a massless string tied to a point 0 as shown in the figure. When the string is cut, the initial angular acceleration of the rod is [NEET 2013]
Weight of the rod will produce the torque
Torque on the rod = Moment of weight of the rod about \(P\)

Two discs are rotating about their axes, normal to the discs and passing through the centres of the discs. Disc \(D_1\) has \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) mass and \(0.2 \mathrm{~m}\) radius and initial angular velocity of \(50 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\). Disc \(D_2\) has \(4 \mathrm{~kg}\) mass, \(0.1 \mathrm{~m}\) radius and initial angular velocity of \(200 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\). The two discs are brought in contact face to face, with their axes of rotation coincident. The final angular velocity (in \(\mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\) ) of the system is [NEET Kar. 2013]
The correct option is \(\mathrm{c}Â 100 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\)
\(\mathrm{MOI}\) of disc \(D\), about an axis passing through its centre and normal to its plane. \(\mathrm{l}_1=\frac{M R^2}{2}=\frac{2 \times(0.2)^2}{2}=0.04 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)

\(
\begin{aligned}
&I_2=\frac{M R^2}{2}=\frac{4 \times(0.1)^2}{2} \\

\)
Initial angular velocity of disc \(D_2\),
\(
\omega_2=200 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}
\)
Total angular momentum of the two discs, initially is
\(
L_i=l_1 \omega_1+I_2 \omega_2
\)
When both discs are brought in contact, axes of rotation coincide.
Consider both discs as a system. Hence, final angular momentum of the system is,
\(
L_f=\left(I_1+I_2\right) \omega
\)
Here, \(\omega\) is the final angular speed of the system.
According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, we get,
\(
\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{f}}
\)
\(I_1 \omega_1+I_2 \omega_2=\left(I_1+I_2\right) \omega\)
\(

The \(55 \mathrm{~kg}\) man walks up to the \(65 \mathrm{~kg}\) man and sits with him. If the boat is in still water the centre of mass of the system shifts by [CBSE AIPMT 2012]
There is no external force so centre of mass of the system will not shift.

Let \(r\) be the perpendicular distance of \(F_1, F_2\) and \(F_3\) from O as shown in figure.
The torque of force \(F_3\) about O is clockwise, while torque due to \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) are anticlockwise.
For total torque to be zero about O, we must have

A \(50 \mathrm{~kg}\) man stands on the edge of the platform and begins to walk along the edge at the speed of \(1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) relative to the ground. Time taken by the man to complete one revolution is [AIPMT 2012]
(c)Â
As the system is initially at rest, therefore,
initial angular momentum \(L_i=0\).
According to the principle of conservation of angular momentum, final angular momentum, \(L_f=0\)
Angular momentum = Angular momentum of man is in opposite direction of platform.
i.e., \(\quad m v R=I \omega\)
or \(\omega=\frac{m v R}{I}=\frac{50 \times 1 \times 2}{200}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\)
Angular velocity of man relative to platform is
\(
\omega_r=\omega+\frac{v}{R}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=1 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}

The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc is maximum about an axis perpendicular to the disc and passing through [AIPMT 2012]
(a) Moment of inertia of circular disc \(=\frac{1}{2} m R^2\). Thus, as the distance between the centre and the point increases, the moment of inertia increases ( B has the highest distance from the origin).
The instantaneous angular position of a point on a rotating wheel is given by the equation \(Q(t)=2 t^3-6 t^2\). The torque on the wheel becomes zero at [CBSE AIPMT 2011]
(d) \(\theta(t)=2 t^3-6 t^2\)
\(
\Rightarrow \frac{d \theta}{d t}=6 t^2-12 t \Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{d^2 \theta}{d t^2}=12 t-12=0

In 2nd case, K.E. \(=\frac{\mathrm{L}^2}{2\left(\mathrm{mr}^{\prime 2}\right)}\)
But \(\mathrm{r}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{r}}{2}\)
\(
\therefore K . E^{\prime}=\frac{L^2}{2 m \cdot \frac{r^2}{4}}=\frac{4 \mathrm{~L}^2}{2 \mathrm{mr}^2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{E}^{\prime}=4 \mathrm{~K} . \mathrm{E}.

Two particles which are initially at rest, move towards each other under the action of their internal attraction. If their speeds are \(v\) and \(2 v\) at any instant, then the speed of centre of mass of the system will be: [AIPMT 2010]
(b) If no external force action a system of particles, the centre of mass remains at rest. So, the speed of centre of mass is zero. Force acting on the rigid body,
\(
\vec{F}=M \vec{a}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{M d^2 \vec{r}}{d t^2}
\)
When external force acting on the rigid body is zero.
\(\vec{F}=M \frac{d}{d t}\left(\vec{V}_{\mathrm{cm}}\right)=0 \Rightarrow \vec{V}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\) Constant
So, when no external force acts on a body its centre of mass will remain at rest or move with constant velocity.
A circular disk of moment of inertia \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{t}}\) is rotating in a horizontal plane, its symmetry axis, with a constant angular speed \(\omega_i\). Another disk of moment of inertia \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}\) is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disk. Initially, the second disk has zero angular speed. Eventually, both the disks rotate with a constant angular speed \(\omega_f\). The energy lost by the initially rotating disk to friction is: [AIPMT 2010]

Four identical thin rods each of mass \(M\) and length \(L\), form a square frame. The moment of inertia of this frame about an axis through the centre of the square and perpendicular to its plane is: [AIPMT 2009]
(d) Moment of inertia of a thin rod of length \(L\) about an axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the rod \(=\frac{1}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2\).
Thus the moment of inertia of the frame. \(\frac{\mathrm{mL}^2}{12}+\frac{\mathrm{mL}^2}{4}=\frac{4 \mathrm{mL}^2}{12}=\frac{\mathrm{mL}^2}{3}\)
Total M.I. \(=4 \times \frac{\mathrm{mL}^2}{3}\)
A thin rod of length \(L\) and mass \(M\) is bent at its midpoint into two halves so that the angle between them is \(90^{\circ}\). The moment of inertia of the bent rod about an axis passing through the bending point and perpendicular to the plane defined by the two halves of the rod is: [AIPMT 2008]
As the rod is bent into two equal halves, the mass and length of each half is \(\frac{M}{2}\) and \(\frac{L}{2}\) respectively.
The moment of inertia about an axis passing through its edge and perpendicular to the rod
\(
\begin{aligned}
&=\frac{\text { Mass } \times(\text { length })^2}{3} \\
I &=2 \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{M}{2}\left(\frac{L}{2}\right)^2=\frac{M L^2}{12}
\end{aligned}
\)
Alternate Solution:
Mass of each part \(=M / 2\)
Length of each part \(=\mathrm{L} / 2\)
Total M.I. \(=\) Sum of M.I.s of both parts
\(
\begin{aligned}
&=\left(\frac{M}{2}\right)\left(\frac{L}{2}\right)^2 \times \frac{1}{3}+\left(\frac{M}{2}\right)\left(\frac{L}{2}\right)^2 \times \frac{1}{3} \\
&=2 \times \frac{M}{2} \times \frac{L^2}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{M L^2}{I 2}

The ratio of the radii of gyration of a circular disc to that of a circular ring, each of same mass and radius, around their respective axes is [CBSE AIPMT 2008]
(b) is the right answer.
As we know the radius of gyration
\(
k=\sqrt{\frac{1}{m}}
\)
So, for two different cases
\(\frac{k_{\text {ring }}}{k_{\text {disc }}}=\sqrt{\frac{l_{\text {ting }}}{l_{\text {disc }}}}=\sqrt{\frac{M R^2}{\frac{1}{2} M R^2}}\)
\(\therefore \quad \frac{k_{\text {ring }}}{k_{\text {disc }}}=\sqrt{2} \Rightarrow \frac{k_{\text {disc }}}{k_{\text {ring }}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
A wheel has angular acceleration of \(3.0 \mathrm{rad} /\) \(\sec ^2\) and an initial angular speed of \(2.00 \mathrm{rad} /\) sec. In a time of \(2 \mathrm{sec}\) it has rotated through an angle (in radian) of [AIPMT 2007]
(a) Since, \(\theta=\omega_0 t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\)
Where \(\alpha\) is angular aceleration, \(\omega_0\) is the initial angular speed.
\(
t=2 \mathrm{~s}
\)
\(
\theta=2 \times 2+\frac{1}{2} \times 3(2)^2=4+6=10 \mathrm{rad}
\)
A uniform \(\operatorname{rod} A B\) of length \(\ell\), and mass \(\mathrm{m}\) is free to rotate about point \(A\). The rod is released from rest in the horizontal position. Given that the moment of inertia of the rod about \(\mathrm{A}\) is \(\frac{m \ell^2}{3}\), the initial angular acceleration of the rod will be [AIPMT 2007]
Weight of the rod will produce torque,
\(
\tau=m g \times \frac{\ell}{2}
\)
Also, \(\tau=I \alpha\)
where, \(\mathrm{I}\) is the moment of inertia \(=\frac{m \ell^2}{3}\) and \(\alpha\) is the angular acceleration
\(
\therefore \frac{m \ell^2}{3} \alpha=m g \times \frac{\ell}{2} \Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{3 g}{2 \ell}
\)
A particle of mass \(m\) in the \(X Y\)-plane with a velocity \(v\) along the straight line \(A B\). If the angular momentum of the particle with respect to origin \(O\) is \(L_A\) when it is at \(A\) and \(L_B\) when it is at \(B\), then [CBSE AIPMT 2007]
From the definition of angular momentum,
\(
\begin{array}{r}
\mathbf{L}=\mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{p}=r \mathrm{mv} \sin \phi(-\mathrm{k}) \\
{\left[\begin{array}{l}
\mathbf{r}=\text { position vector } \\
\mathbf{p}=\text { momentum }
\end{array}\right]}
\end{array}
\)
Therefore, the magnitude of \(L\) is \(L=m v r \sin \phi=m v d\)
where, \(d=r \sin \phi\) is the distance of closest approach of the particle to the origin. As \(d\) is same for both the particles, hence \(L_A=L_B\).
A tube of length \(L\) is filled completely with an incompressible liquid of mass \(M\) and closed at both ends. The tube is then rotated in a horizontal plane about one of its ends with a uniform angular velocity \(\omega\). The force exerted by the liquid at the other end is [CBSE AIPMT 2006]
(a) is the correct answer.
Let the length of a small element of the tube be \(d x\).
Mass of this element
where, \(M\) is mass of filled liquid and \(L\) is length of tube. Force on this element
\(d F=d m \times \times \omega^2\)
\(\int_0^F d F=\frac{M}{L} \omega^2 \int_0^L x d x\)
or \(\quad F=\frac{M}{L} \omega^2\left[\frac{L^2}{2}\right]=\frac{M L \omega^2}{2}\)
or \(\quad F=\frac{1}{2} M L \omega^2\)
The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc of radius \(R\) and mass \(M\) about an axis touching the disc at its diameter and normal to the disc is [2006, 2005]
(b) M.I. of a uniform circular disc of radius ‘ \(\mathrm{R}\) ‘ and mass ‘ \(M\) ‘ about an axis passing though C.M. and normal to the disc is
\(
\mathrm{I}_{\text {C.M. }}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^2
\)
From the parallel axis theorem,
\(
I_T=I_{C . M .}+M R^2=\frac{1}{2} M R^2+M R^2=\frac{3}{2} M R^2

Two bodies have their moments of inertia I and 2I respectively about their axis of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal, their angular momenta will be in the ratio [AIPMT 2005]
(d) The relation between K.E. of rotation and angular momentum,
\(
\begin{aligned}
&K=\frac{L^2}{2 I} \Rightarrow L^2=2 K I \Rightarrow L=\sqrt{2 K I} \\
&\frac{L_1}{L_2}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{K_1}{K_2}\right)\left(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\right)}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{K}{K}\right)\left(\frac{I}{2 I}\right)}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\
&L_1: L_2=1: \sqrt{2}

A drum of radius \(R\) and mass \(M\), rolls down without slipping along an inclined plane of angle \(\theta\). The frictional force [AIPMT 2005]
(d) Net work done by frictional force when the drum rolls down without slipping is zero.

A wheel having moment of inertia \(2 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\) about its vertical axis, rotates at the rate of \(60 \mathrm{rpm}\) about this axis. The torque which can stop the wheel’s rotation in one minute would be [AIPMT 2004]
(d)
\(\mathrm{I}=2 \mathrm{kgm}^2, v_0=60 \mathrm{rpm}=1 \mathrm{rps}\)
\(\omega_0=2 \pi v_0=2 \pi \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}\)
\(\omega_f=0\) and \(t=1 \mathrm{~min}=60 \mathrm{sec}\)
So, \(\propto=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_0}{t}=\frac{0-2 \pi}{60}\)
\(\alpha=\frac{-\pi}{30} \mathrm{rad} / \sec ^2\)
and Torque, \(\tau=\) I. \(\alpha\)
\(
\tau=2 \cdot\left(\frac{-\pi}{30}\right)=\frac{-\pi}{15}
\)
\(
\tau=\frac{\pi}{15} \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m}

Consider a system of two particles having masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\). If the particle of mass \(m_1\) is pushed towards the centre of mass of particles through a distance d, by what distance would the particle of mass \(m_2\) move so as to keep the centre of mass of particles at the original position? [ AIPMT 2004]
The system of two given particles of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are shown in the figure.
Initially the centre of mass
\(
r_{C M}=\frac{m_1 r_1+m_2 r_2}{m_1+m_2} \dots(i)
\)
When mass \(m_1\) moves towards centre of mass by a distance, then let mass \(m_2\) moves a distance \(d^{\prime}\) away from CM to keep the CM in its initial position.
So, \(\quad r_{\mathrm{CM}}=\frac{m_1\left(r_1-d\right)+m_2\left(r_2+d^{\prime}\right)}{m_1+m_2} \dots(ii)\)
Equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\frac{m_1 r_1+m_2 r_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{m_1\left(r_1-d\right)+m_2\left(r_2+d^{\prime}\right)}{m_1+m_2}
\)
\(
\begin{array}{lrl}
\Rightarrow & -m_1 d+m_2 d^{\prime} & =0 \\
\Rightarrow & & d^{\prime}=\frac{m_1}{m_2} d .
\end{array}
\)
If both the masses are equal i.e., \(m_1=m_2\), then second mass will move a distance equal to the distance at which first mass is being displaced.
A round disc of moment of inertia \(\mathrm{I}_2\) about its axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre is placed over another disc of moment of inertia \(I_1\) rotating with an angular velocity \(\omega\) about the same axis. The final angular velocity of the combination of discs is [AIPMT 2004]
(d) Apply conservation of angular momentum
The angular momentum of a disc of moment of inertial \(l_1\) and rotating about its axis with angular velocity \(\omega\) is
\(
L_1=l_1 \omega
\)
When a round disc of moment of inertia \(I_2\) is placed on first disc, then angular momentum of the combination is
\(
L_2=\left(l_1+I_2\right) \omega^{\prime}
\)
In the absence of any external torque, angular momentum remains conserved i.e.,
\(
\begin{aligned}
L_1 &=L_2 \\
l_1 \omega &=\left(l_1+I_2\right) \omega^{\prime} \\
\Rightarrow \quad \omega^{\prime} &=\frac{l_1 \omega}{I_1+I_2}
\end{aligned}
\)
The ratio of the radii of gyration of a circular disc about a tangential axis in the plane of the disc and of a circular ring of the same radius about a tangential axis in the plane of the ring is [AIPMT 2004]
(d) The moment of inertia of a disc and circular ring about a tangential axis in their planes are respectively. Momentum inertia of disc about the tangential axis
\(
I_d=\frac{5}{4} M_d R^2
\)
Moment of inertia of ring about a tangential axis
\(
\begin{aligned}
&I_r=\frac{3}{2} M_r R^2 \\
&\text { but } \quad I=M k^2 \Rightarrow k=\sqrt{\frac{I}{M}} \\
&\therefore \quad \frac{k_d}{k_r}=\sqrt{\frac{I_d}{I_r} \times \frac{M_r}{M_d}} \\
&\text { or } \frac{k_d}{k_r}=\sqrt{\frac{(5 / 4) M_d R^2}{(3 / 2) M_r R^2} \times \frac{M_r}{M_d}}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{6}} \\
&\therefore k_d: k_r=\sqrt{5}: \sqrt{6}

Three particles, each of mass \(m\) gram, are situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle \(A B C\) of side \(l \mathrm{~cm}\) (as shown in the figure). The moment of inertia of the system about a line \(A X\) perpendicular to \(A B\) and in the plane of \(A B C\), in gram-cm \({ }^2\) units will be [AIPMT 2004]
Moment of inertia of the system about \(A X\) is given by
Moment of inertia \(=m_A r_A^2+m_B r_B^2+m_C r_C^2\)
\(
\left[\begin{array}{l}
r_A=0 \\
r_B=l \\
r_c=l \sin 30^{\circ}
\end{array}\right]
\)
Moment of inertia
\(
\begin{aligned}
&=m(0)^2+m(l)^2+m\left(l \sin 30^{\circ}\right)^2. \\
&=m l^2+\frac{m l^2}{4}=\frac{5}{4} m l^2
\end{aligned}
\)
A thin circular ring of mass \(M\) and radius \(r\) is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity \(\omega\). Four objects each of mass \(m\), are kept gently to the opposite ends of two perpendicular diameters of the ring. The angular velocity of the ring will be [AIPMT 2003]
Initial angular momentum of ring \(=I \omega=M R^2 \omega\)
If four objects each of mass \(m\), and kept gently to the opposite ends of two perpendicular
diameters of the ring then final angular momentum \(=\left(M R^2+4 m R^2\right) \omega^{\prime}\)
By the conservation of angular momentum
Initial angular momentum = Final angular momentum
\(
M R^2 \omega=\left(M R^2+4 m R^2\right) \omega^{\prime} \Rightarrow \omega^{\prime}=\left(\frac{M}{M+4 m}\right) \omega .
\)
A ball rolls without slipping. The radius of gyration of the ball about an axis passing through its centre of mass is \(k\). If the radius of the ball is \(R\), then the fraction of total energy associated with its rotational energy will be [CBSE AIPMT 2003]
(a)
The kinetic energy of rotation is
\(
K_{\text {rot }}=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2=\frac{1}{2} M K^2 \frac{v^2}{R^2} \quad\left[K=\sqrt{\frac{I}{M}}\right]
\)
where, \(k\) is radius of gyration.
Kinetic energy of translation is
\(
K_{\text {trans }}=\frac{1}{2} M v^2
\)
Thus, total energy
\(
\begin{aligned}
E &=K_{\text {rot }}+K_{\text {trans }} \\
&=\frac{1}{2} M k^2 \frac{v^2}{R^2}+\frac{1}{2} M v^2 \\
&=\frac{1}{2} M v^2\left(\frac{k^2}{R^2}+1\right) \\
&=\frac{1}{2} \frac{M v^2}{R^2}\left(k^2+R^2\right)
\end{aligned}
\)
Hence, \(\frac{K_{\text {rot }}}{E}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} M k^2 \frac{v^2}{R^2}}{\frac{1}{2} \frac{M v^2}{R^2}\left(k^2+R^2\right)}\)
\(
=\frac{k^2}{k^2+R^2}
\)
A solid cylinder of mass \(\mathrm{m}\) and radius \(\mathrm{R}\) rolls down an inclined plane of height \(\mathrm{h}\) without slipping. The speed of its centre of mass when it reaches the bottom is [AIPMT 2003,1989]
(c) \(\quad K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2+\frac{1}{2} m v^2\)
\(K . E .=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2} m r^2\right) \omega^2+\frac{1}{2} m v^2\)
\(
=\frac{1}{4} m v^2+\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{3}{4} m v^2
\)
Now, gain in K.E. = Loss in P.E.
\(
\frac{3}{4} m v^2=m g h \Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) g h}
\)
If the linear density (mass per unit length) of a rod of length \(3 \mathrm{~m}\) is proportional to \(x\), where \(x\) is the distance from one end of the rod, the distance of the centre of gravity of the rod from this end is [AIPMT 2002]
(d) Consider an element of length \(d x\) at a distance \(x\) from end \(A\).
Here, mass per unit length \(\lambda\) of rod
\(\lambda \propto x \Rightarrow \lambda=k x\)
\(\therefore d m=\lambda d x=k x d x\)
Position of centre of gravity of rod from end \(A\).
\(x_{C G}=\frac{\int_0^L x d m}{\int_0^L d m}\)
\(
x_{C G}=\frac{\int_0^3 x(k x d x)}{\int_0^3 k x d x}=\frac{\left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^3}{\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^3}=\frac{\frac{(3)^3}{3}}{\frac{(3)^3}{2}}=2 m
\)
A solid sphere of radius \(R\) is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force \(F\) is applied at height \(h\) from the lowest point. For the maximum acceleration of the centre of mass [AIPMT 2002]
(d) As friction is absent at the point of contact, Acceleration \(=\frac{\text { Force }}{\text { Mass }}\) It is independent of \(h\)
A disc is rotating with angular velocity \(\omega\). If a child sits on it, what is conserved? [AIPMT 2002]
(b) If external torque is zero, angular momentum remains conserved. \(L=I \omega=\) constant. When a child sits on a rotating disc, then no torque is applied (the weight of the child acts downward), so angular momentum will remain conserved.
A boy suddenly comes and sits on a circular rotating table. What will remain conserved? [AIPMT 2002]
(b) As net torque applied is zero.
Hence, \(\tau=\frac{d L}{d t}\)
\(\frac{d L}{d t}=0, L=\) constant.
\(L\) (angular momentum) remains conserved.
A composite disc is to be made using equal masses of aluminium and iron so that it has as high a moment of inertia as possible. This is possible when [AIPMT 2002]
(b)Â Moment of inertia \(=\int r^2 d m\).
\(\therefore\) Since, \(\rho_{\text {iron }}>\rho_{\text {aluminium }}\)
So, the whole of aluminium is kept in the core, and the iron is at the outer rim of the disc.
The moment of inertia depends on the distribution of mass and about the axis of rotation. The density of iron is more than that of aluminium, therefore for the moment of inertia to be maximum, the iron should be far away from the axis. Thus, aluminium should be at the interior and iron surrounds it.
A wheel of radius \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) rolls forward half a revolution on a horizontal ground. The magnitude of the displacement of the point of the wheel initially in contact with the ground is [AIPMT 2002]
(d) Linear distance moved by the wheel in half revolution \(=\pi r\). Point \(P_1[latex] after half revolution reaches at [latex]P_2\) vertically \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) above the ground.
\(\therefore\) Displacement \(P_1 P_2\)
\(
=\sqrt{\pi^2 r^2+2^2}=\sqrt{\pi^2+4} \quad[\because r=1 m]
\)
A constant torque of \(1000 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m}\) turns a wheel of moment of inertia \(200 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\) about an axis through its centre. Its angular velocity after 3 seconds is [AIPMT 2001]
(d) \(\tau=1000 \mathrm{~N}-m, I=200 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\tau=\text { I. } \alpha \text { and } \alpha=\left(\frac{\omega_{\mathrm{f}}-\omega_0}{\mathrm{t}}\right) \\
&\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{1000}{200}=5 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}^2 \\
&\omega_1=\omega_0+\alpha t=0+3 \times 5=15 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}

A wheel of bicycle is rolling without slipping on a level road. The velocity of the centre of mass is \(v_{\mathrm{CM}}\), then true statement is [CBSE AIPMT 2001]
(a)
Similarly, the velocity of point \(A\) is given by
\(v_A=\) velocity of centre of mass
\(\left(v_{C M}\right)+\) Linear velocity of point \(A(R \omega)\)
\(=v_{\mathrm{CM}}+v_{\mathrm{CM}} \quad\left(\because v_{\mathrm{CM}}=R \omega\right)\)
\(=2 v_{\mathrm{CM}}\)
Velocity of point \(B\) is,
\(
v_B=v_{C M}-R \omega=v_{C M}-v_{C M}=0
\)
Thus, the velocity of point \(A\) is \(2 v_{C M}\) and velocity of point \(B\) is zero.
\(A B C\) is a right-angled triangular plate of uniform thickness. The sides are such that \(A B>B C[latex] as shown in the figure. [latex]I_1, I_2, I_3\) are moments of inertia about \(A B, B C[latex] and [latex]A C\) respectively. Then, which of the following relations is correct? [CBSE AIPMT 2000]
(b)
The moment of inertia of a body about an axis depends not only on the mass of the body but also on the distribution of mass from the axis. For a given body, mass is the same, so it will depend only on the distribution of mass from the axis. The mass is farthest from axis \(B C\), so \(I_2\) is maximum. Mass is nearest to axis \(A C\), so \(l_3\) is minimum.
Hence, the correct sequence will be
\(I_2>I_1>I_3\)
In a rotational motion, the moment of inertia is also known as rotational inertia.
Â
Moment of Inertia depend upon mass and distribution of masses as \(I=\Sigma m r^2\).
Further, as the distance of masses is more, more is the moment of Inertia.
\(
\therefore I_2>I_1, I_2>I_3
\)
A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder both of the same mass and the same external diameter are released from the same height at the same time on an inclined plane. Both roll down without slipping. Which one will reach the bottom first? [AIPMT 2000]
\(
\text { Torque, I } \alpha=f . R \text {. }
\)
Using Newton’s IInd law, \(m g \sin \theta-f=m a\)
\(\because\) pure rolling is there, \(a=R \alpha\)
\(\Rightarrow m g \sin \theta-\frac{I \alpha}{R}=m a\)
\(\Rightarrow m g \sin \theta-\frac{I a}{R^2}=m a \quad\left(\because \alpha=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)\) or, acceleration, \(a=\frac{m g \sin \theta}{\left(I / R^2+m\right)}\)
Using, \(s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^2\)
or, \(s=\frac{1}{2} a t^2 \Rightarrow t \alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{a}}}\)
\(\mathrm{t}\) minimum means a should be more. This is possible when \(I\) is minimum which is the case for solid cylinder.
Therefore, solid cylinder will reach the bottom first.
Two racing cars of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are moving in circles of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) respectively. Their speeds are such that each makes a complete circle in the same time \(t\). The ratio of the angular speeds of the first to the second car is [AIPMT 1999]
(a) As the time taken by both cars to complete one revolution is the same.
As \(\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T} \Rightarrow \omega \propto \frac{1}{T}\), as \(T\) is same in both cases. Hence ‘ \(\omega\) ‘ will also be same.
The moment of inertia of a disc of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) about an axis, which is tangential to the circumference of the disc and parallel to its diameter, is [AIPMT 1999]
The moment of inertia of a disc about its diameter is
\(
I_d=\frac{1}{4} M R^2
\)
Now, according to the perpendicular axis theorem, the moment of inertia of disc about a tangent passing through the rim and in the plane of the disc is
\(
I=I_d+M R^2=\frac{1}{4} M R^2+M R^2=\frac{5}{4} M R^2
\)
Three identical metal balls each of radius \(r\) are placed touching each other on a horizontal surface such that an equilateral triangle is formed with centres of three balls joined. The centre of mass of the system is located at [CBSE AIPMT 1999]
(d)
The whole mass of the ball will be concentrated at the centre of the ball. All the three balls are identical, i.e., the balls have same mass. On each vertex of equilateral \(\triangle P O R\), same mass is kept. Therefore, centre of mass of the triangle is the centre of mass of the system which is point of intersection of the medians of the triangle.
A weightless ladder \(20 \mathrm{ft}\) long rests against a frictionless wall at an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) from the horizontal. A 150 pound man is \(4 \mathrm{ft}\) from the top of the ladder. A horizontal force is needed to keep it from slipping. Choose the correct magnitude of the force from the following [AIPMT 1998]
(d) \(A B\) is the ladder, let \(\mathrm{F}\) be the horizontal force and \(\mathrm{W}\) is the weight of man. Let \(N_1\) and \(N_2\) be normal reactions of ground and wall, respectively. Then for vertical equilibrium \(W=N_1 \dots(1)\)
For horizontal equilibrium, \(N_2=F \quad\)…..(2)
Taking moments about \(A\), \(N_2\left(A B \sin 60^{\circ}\right)-W\left(A C \cos 60^{\circ}\right)=0 \ldots \ldots(3)\)
Using (2) and \(A B=20 \mathrm{ft}, B C=4 \mathrm{ft}\), we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
&F\left(20 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)-W\left(16 \times \frac{1}{2}\right)=0 \\
&\Rightarrow F=\frac{8 W \times 2}{20 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{4 W}{5 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{150 \times 4}{5 \sqrt{3}} \text { pound } \\
&=40 \sqrt{3}=40 \times 1.73=69.2 \text { pound }
\end{aligned}
\)
The centre of mass of a system of particles does not depend upon [AIPMT 1997]
The correct option is \(\mathbf{A}\) forces acting on the particles
From the formula for the coordinates of COM of a system:
\(x_{C O M}=\frac{m_1 x_1+m_2 x_2}{m_1+m_2}\),
\(\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{COM}}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{y}_1+\mathrm{m}_2 \mathrm{y}_2}{\mathrm{~m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2}\)
\(z_{C O M}=\frac{m_1 z_1+m_2 z_2}{m_1+m_2}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{COM}}\) or \(\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{COM}}\) or \(\mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{COM}}\) only depends on the mass of the particles and the position of the particles. It will also depend on the relative position of the particles (i.e distance between them).
The position of COM(Centre Of Mass) is independent of the forces acting on particles.
In carbon monoxide molecule, the carbon and the oxygen atoms are separated by a distance \(1.12 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\). The distance of the centre of mass, from the carbon atom is [AIPMT 1997]

A couple consists of two equal and opposite forces acting at a separation so that the net force becomes zero. When a couple acts on a body it rotates the body but does not produce any translatory motion. Hence, only rotational motion is produced.
A cart of mass \(M\) is tied to one end of a massless rope of length \(10 \mathrm{~m}\). The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass M.

Angular velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement with time. Given that both the cars complete one circle in the same time ‘ \(t\) ‘
Angular speed \(=\omega=\frac{\text { angle subtended by the car for one revolution }(2 \pi)}{\text { Time Taken( }(t)}\)

ABC is a triangular plate of uniform thickness. The sides are in the ratio shown in the figure. \(I_{A B}, I_{B C}\) and \(I_{C A}\) are the moments of inertia of the plate about \(A B, B C\) and \(C A\) as axes respectively. Which one of the following relations is correct? [AIPMT 1995]
The moment of inertia of the triangular plate is maximum about the shortest side because the effective distance of mass distribution about this side is maximum.
The intersection of medians is the centre of mass of the triangle. Since the distances of centre of mass from the sides is related as \(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{BC}}\lt \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{AB}} \lt \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{AC}}\)
Therefore \(I_{B C}>I_{A B}>I_{A C}\)
or \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{BC}}>\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{AB}}\)
Angular momentum is [AIPMT 1994]
(a) Angular momentum \(\vec{L}\) is defined as \(\vec{L}=\vec{r} \times m(\vec{v})\)

A spherical ball rolls on a table without slipping. Then the fraction of its total energy associated with rotation is [AIPMT 1994]
(c)
\(\frac{K_r}{E}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} M K^2 \omega^2}{\frac{1}{2} M \omega^2\left[K^2+R^2\right]}=\frac{K^2}{K^2+R^2}\) \(=\frac{2 / 5}{1+2 / 5}=\frac{2}{7}\)
Here, \(K^2=\frac{2}{5} R^2\)
When a body is executing only linear motion, its K.E. is given by \(E_t=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\) when a body is rolling without slipping, its centre of mas has linear motion too.
Therefore, its total kinetic energy
\(
\begin{aligned}

In a rectangle \(A B C D(B C=2 A B)\). The moment of inertia is minimum along the axis through [CBSE AIPMT 1993]
Concept Magnitude of moment of inertia depends on the distribution of mass taken from the axis.
From the axis EG, the distribution of masses is at minimum distance while from the axis BD the distribution of masses is at maximum distance. Hence, the moment of inertia is minimum along the axis through EG.
A solid sphere, disc and solid cylinder all of the same mass and made of the same material are allowed to roll down (from rest) on the inclined plane, then [AIPMT 1993]
(a) For solid sphere, \(\frac{K^2}{R^2}=\frac{2}{5}\)
For disc and solid cylinder, \(\frac{K^2}{R^2}=\frac{1}{2}\) As \(\frac{K^2}{R^2}\) for solid sphere is smallest, it takes minimum time to reach the bottom of the incline
When bodies of different shapes are allowed to roll down an incline, then velocity at the bottom of incline, acceleration and time taken in reaching the bottom depends on \(\frac{K^2}{R^2}\). If the body has less moment of inertia then \(\frac{K^2}{R^2}\) will be less, then it will take less time in reaching the bottom.

To find the slope of this line comparing this with the equation of the line
\(

Length of perpendicular \(=O P\)
In \(\triangle P S O, \quad \frac{O P}{O S}=\sin 45^{\circ}\)
\(\therefore \quad O P=O S \sin 45^{\circ}\)

The moment of inertia of a body about a given axis is \(1.2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2\). Initially, the body is at rest. In order to produce a rotational kinetic energy of 1500 joule, an angular acceleration of 25 radian/ \(/ \sec ^2\) must be applied about that axis for a duration of [AIPMT 1990]
Given,
Moment of inertia, \(I=1.2 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
Rotational kinetic energy, \(K_r=1500 \mathrm{~J}\)
Angular acceleration

\alpha=25 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2, \omega_0=0, t=\text { ? }
\)
Kinetic energy of rotation is given by

\)
Alternate
(c) \(\quad E_r=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\)

At any instant, a rolling body may be considered to be in pure rotation about an axis through the point of contact. This axis is translating forward with speed [CBSE AIPMT 1989]

Since, in this case, instantaneous axis of rotation is always below the centre of mass. This is possible only when point of contact moves with a velocity equal to centre of mass.
A solid cylinder of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) rolls down an inclined plane of height \(h\) without slipping. The speed of its centre of mass when it reaches the bottom is [CBSE AIPMT 1989]
When solid cylinder rolls down on an inclined plane, then it has both rotational and translational kinetic energy.
Total kinetic energy \(K=K_{\text {zot }}+K_{\text {trans }}\) or \(\quad K=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2+\frac{1}{2} m v^2\)
where, \(I=\) moment of inertia of solid cylinderabout its axis
\(=\frac{1}{2} m r^2\)
\(\therefore \quad K=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2} m r^2\right) \omega^2+\frac{1}{2} m v^2\)
\(=\frac{1}{4} m v^2+\frac{1}{2} m v^2 \quad(\) as \(v=r \omega)\)

Angular acceleration \(\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\)
\(\omega_f=3120 \times \frac{2 \pi}{60} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\)
\(\omega_i=1200 \times \frac{2 \pi}{60} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\)
\(\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{(3120-1200)}{16} \times \frac{2 \pi}{60}=4 \pi\)
A shell of mass \(m\) is at rest initially. It explodes into three fragments having mass in the ratio \(2: 2: 1\). If the fragments having equal mass fly off along mutually perpendicular directions with speed \(v\), the speed of the third (lighter) fragment is [NEET 2022]
