$A$ solid sphere of mass $m$,radius $R$,having moment of inertia about an axis passing through its center of mass as $I$ is recast into a disc of thickness $t$ whose moment of inertia about an axis passing through the rim (edge) and perpendicular to its plane remains $I$. Then the radius of the disc is:

  • A
    $\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{15}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2}{15}} R$
  • C
    $\frac{4 R}{\sqrt{15}}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{4}$

$A$ mass $M = 40 \ kg$ is fixed at the very edge of a long plank of mass $80 \ kg$ and length $1 \ m$ which is pivoted such that it is in equilibrium. How far (approx.) from the pivot should a mass of $100 \ kg$ be attached so that the plank starts rotating with an angular acceleration of $1 \ rad/s^2$?

$A$ thin string is wrapped around the circumference of a wheel of radius $r$. The wheel has a horizontal axle and a moment of inertia $I$ about it. $A$ weight $mg$ is attached to the end of the string,which falls from rest. After falling through a distance $h$,the angular velocity of the wheel will be:

$A$ disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is free to rotate about its vertical axis as shown in the figure. $A$ battery-operated motor of negligible mass is fixed to this disc at a point on its circumference. Another disc of the same mass $M$ and radius $R/2$ is fixed to the motor's thin shaft. Initially,both the discs are at rest. The motor is switched on so that the smaller disc rotates at a uniform angular speed $\omega$. If the angular speed at which the large disc rotates is $\omega/n$,then the value of $n$ is. . . . .

The angular momentum of a rotating body is $L$. When the frequency of the rotating body is tripled and its kinetic energy is made one-third, the new angular momentum becomes:
