$A$ solid sphere and a disc of the same radius are released from the same height on an inclined plane and they reach the bottom of the plane at different times. This is due to their:

$A$ solid metallic sphere of radius '$R$' having moment of inertia '$I$' about its diameter is melted and recast into a solid disc of radius '$r$' of uniform thickness. The moment of inertia of the disc about an axis passing through its edge and perpendicular to its plane is also equal to '$I$'. The ratio $\frac{r}{R}$ is

$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of mass $2 \ kg$ and length $30 \ cm$ is at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. An impulse of force $0.2 \ Ns$ is applied to end $B$. The time taken by the rod to turn through a right angle will be $\frac{\pi}{X} \ s$,where $X = \text{ . . . . . . }$.

The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of $(i)$ a motion of the centre of mass about an axis,and $(ii)$ its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider,for example,a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless stick,as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed $\omega$,the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of $(i)$ a rotation of the centre of mass of the disc about the $z$-axis,and $(ii)$ a rotation of the disc about an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points $P$ and $Q$). Both the motions have the same angular speed $\omega$ in this case. Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure: Case $(a)$ the disc with its face vertical and parallel to the $x-z$ plane; Case $(b)$ the disc with its face making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the $x-y$ plane,its horizontal diameter parallel to the $x$-axis. In both the cases,the disc is welded at point $P$,and systems are rotated with constant angular speed $\omega$ about the $z$-axis.
$1.$ Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?
$(A)$ It is $\sqrt{2} \omega$ for both the cases.
$(B)$ It is $\omega$ for case $(a)$; and $\frac{\omega}{\sqrt{2}}$ for case $(b)$.
$(C)$ It is $\omega$ for case $(a)$; and $\sqrt{2} \omega$ for case $(b)$.
$(D)$ It is $\omega$ for both the cases.
$2.$ Which of the following statements about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?
$(A)$ It is vertical for both the cases $(a)$ and $(b)$.
$(B)$ It is vertical for case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x-z$ plane and lies in the plane of the disc for case $(b)$.
$(C)$ It is horizontal for case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x-z$ plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case $(b)$.
$(D)$ It is vertical for case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x-z$ plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case $(b)$.
Give the answer for question $1$ and $2$.

From a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$,a cube of maximum possible volume is cut. The moment of inertia of the cube about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to one of its faces is

$A$ wheel of radius $0.5 \ m$ and a moment of inertia of $10 \ kg \cdot m^2$ is rotating freely at an angular speed of $70 \ rev/min$. The wheel can be stopped in $5.0 \ s$ by pressing a wet cloth against the rim and exerting a radially inward force of $88 \ N$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheel and wet cloth is:
