$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ has a moment of inertia $I$ about its geometric axis. It is melted and recast into a disc of radius $r$ and thickness $t$. If the moment of inertia of this disc about an axis tangent to its edge and perpendicular to its plane is also $I$,find the value of $r$.

  • A
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{15}} R$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} R$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{\sqrt{15}} R$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{15}} R$

In the case of rotational dynamics,which one of the following statements is correct?
$[\vec{\omega} = \text{angular velocity}, \vec{v} = \text{linear velocity}, \vec{r} = \text{radius vector}, \vec{\alpha} = \text{angular acceleration}, \vec{a} = \text{linear acceleration}, \vec{L} = \text{angular momentum}, \vec{p} = \text{linear momentum}, \vec{\tau} = \text{torque}, \vec{f} = \text{force}]$

One of two identical cylinders,cylinder $A$,rotates at an angular speed of $50 \text{ revolutions per second}$. This rotating cylinder is brought into contact with a second stationary cylinder,$B$. Due to kinetic friction between the two cylinders,the stationary cylinder starts rotating with an angular acceleration,while cylinder $A$ undergoes angular deceleration. If the magnitude of the angular acceleration for both cylinders is $1 \text{ revolution per second}^2$,after how many seconds $(t)$ will the angular speeds of both cylinders become equal?

$A$ small particle of mass $m$ is projected at an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis with an initial velocity $v_{0}$ in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure. For time $t < \frac{v_{0} \sin \theta}{g}$,the angular momentum of the particle is (where $\hat{i}, \hat{j}$ and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors along the $x, y$ and $z$ axes respectively):

$A$ bar of length $L$ carrying a small mass $m$ at one of its ends rotates with a uniform angular speed $\omega$ in a vertical plane about the midpoint of the bar. During the rotation, at some instant of time when the bar is horizontal, the mass is detached from the bar but the bar continues to rotate with the same $\omega$. The mass moves vertically up, comes back, and reaches the bar at the same point. At that place, the acceleration due to gravity is $g$.

$STATEMENT-1$ If there is no external torque on a body about its center of mass,then the velocity of the center of mass remains constant. because
$STATEMENT-2$ The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.
