The torque acting on a body about a point is equal to $\overrightarrow{A} \times \overrightarrow{L}$,where $\overrightarrow{A}$ is a constant vector and $\overrightarrow{L}$ is the angular momentum about that point. This implies that:

  • A
    The directions of $\frac{d\overrightarrow{L}}{dt}$ and $\overrightarrow{L}$ are perpendicular at every instant.
  • B
    The component of $\overrightarrow{L}$ in the direction of $\overrightarrow{A}$ does not change with time.
  • C
    The magnitude of $\overrightarrow{L}$ does not change with time.
  • D
    All of the above.

The figure shows a system consisting of $(i)$ a ring of outer radius $3R$ rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed $\omega$ and $(ii)$ an inner disc of radius $2R$ rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed $\omega/2$. The ring and disc are separated by frictionless ball bearings. The system is in the $x-z$ plane. The point $P$ on the inner disc is at distance $R$ from the origin,where $OP$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Then with respect to the horizontal surface,
$(A)$ the point $O$ has linear velocity $3R\omega\hat{i}$.
$(B)$ the point $P$ has a linear velocity $\frac{11}{4}R\omega\hat{i} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
$(C)$ the point $P$ has linear velocity $\frac{13}{4}R\omega\hat{i} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.

$A$ 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):

$A$ man is sitting in a smooth groove on a horizontal circular table at the edge by holding a rope joined to the centre. The moment of inertia of the table is $I$. The mass of the man is $M$. The man now pulls the rope so that he comes to the centre. The angular velocity of the table:

$A$ disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is free to rotate about its vertical axis as shown in the figure. $A$ battery-operated motor of negligible mass is fixed to this disc at a point on its circumference. Another disc of the same mass $M$ and radius $R/2$ is fixed to the motor's thin shaft. Initially,both the discs are at rest. The motor is switched on so that the smaller disc rotates at a uniform angular speed $\omega$. If the angular speed at which the large disc rotates is $\omega/n$,then the value of $n$ is. . . . .

In the given figure,a ring of mass $m$ is kept on a horizontal surface,and a body of equal mass $m$ is attached through a string wound on the ring. When the system is released,the ring rolls without slipping. Consider the following statements and choose the correct option.
