An equilateral triangle $ABC$ is made of a uniform wire. Two identical beads are initially at $A$. The triangle is set to rotate about a vertical axis $AO$. The beads are then released simultaneously from rest to slide down along $AB$ and $AC$. Neglecting friction,which quantities are conserved as the beads slide down?

$A$ uniform circular disc of mass $50 \ kg$ and radius $0.4 \ m$ is rotating with an angular velocity of $10 \ rad \ s^{-1}$ about its own axis,which is vertical. Two uniform circular rings,each of mass $6.25 \ kg$ and radius $0.2 \ m$,are gently placed symmetrically on the disc in such a manner that they are touching each other along the axis of the disc and are horizontal. Assume that the friction is large enough such that the rings are at rest relative to the disc and the system rotates about the original axis. The new angular velocity (in $rad \ s^{-1}$) of the system is:

Two small beads are initially at $A$ on an equilateral triangle made of uniform wires. The triangle is rotated about the vertical axis $AO$. The beads are released from rest simultaneously and slide down along $AB$ and $AC$ respectively (as shown in the figure). Which quantities are conserved as the beads slide down? (Friction is negligible)

The angular speed of a body changes from $\omega_1$ to $\omega_2$ without applying a torque but due to changes in moment of inertia. The ratio of radii of gyration in two cases is
