Statement-$1$: $A$ body is rotating about an axis with angular velocity $\omega$ and moment of inertia $I$. Its angular momentum $L$ remains constant,but its rotational kinetic energy $K$ decreases,provided no external torque is applied.
Statement-$2$: $L = I\omega$ and $K = \frac{L^2}{2I} = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2$.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is false,Statement-$2$ is true.

    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true,and Statement-$2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • C
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is false.
  • D
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true,and Statement-$2$ is the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.

$A$ square lamina $OABC$ of side length $10 \ cm$ is pivoted at $O$. Forces act on the lamina as shown in the figure. If the lamina remains stationary,then the magnitude of $F$ is:

$A$ block of mass $M$ has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block rests on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially,the right edge of the block is at $x=0$,in a coordinate system fixed to the table. $A$ point mass $m$ is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down. When the mass loses contact with the block,its position is $x$ and the velocity is $v$. At that instant,which of the following options is/are correct?
$[A]$ The $x$ component of displacement of the center of mass of the block $M$ is: $-\frac{m R}{M+m}$.
$[B]$ The position of the point mass is: $x=-\sqrt{2} \frac{mR}{M+m}$.
$[C]$ The velocity of the point mass $m$ is: $v=\sqrt{\frac{2 g R}{1+\frac{m}{M}}}$.
$[D]$ The velocity of the block $M$ is: $V=-\frac{m}{M} \sqrt{2 g R}$.
