$A$ string is wrapped around the rim of a wheel of moment of inertia $0.40 \ kg \cdot m^2$ and radius $10 \ cm$. The wheel is free to rotate about its axis. Initially,the wheel is at rest. The string is now pulled by a force of $40 \ N$. The angular velocity of the wheel after $10 \ s$ is $x \ rad/s$,where $x$ is $\qquad$

$A$ uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is hinged at one end as shown in the figure. Initially,the rod is kept horizontal by a massless string. When the string is cut,the angular acceleration of the rod is:

The moment of inertia of a body about a given axis is $1.2 \; kg \cdot m^2$. Initially,the body is at rest. In order to produce a rotational kinetic energy of $1500 \; J$,an angular acceleration of $25 \; rad/s^2$ must be applied about that axis for a duration of: (in $; s$)
