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)

  • A
    Angular velocity and total energy (kinetic + potential)
  • B
    Total angular momentum and total energy
  • C
    Angular velocity and moment of inertia about the axis of rotation
  • D
    Total angular momentum and moment of inertia about the axis of rotation

$A$ circular disc of moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about its symmetry axis with a constant angular speed $\omega_i$. Another disc of moment of inertia $I_b$ is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disc. Initially,the second disc has zero angular speed. Eventually,both the discs rotate with a constant angular speed $\omega_f$. The energy lost by the initially rotating disc to friction is:

$A$ small object is attached to a light string which passes through a hollow tube. The tube is held by one hand and the string by the other. The object is set into rotation in a circle of radius $r_1$. The string is then pulled down,shortening the radius of the circle to $r_2$. The ratio of the new kinetic energy to the original kinetic energy is

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Two objects,each of mass $m$,are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:

$A$ circular disc has a moment of inertia $I_2$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. Another disc with a moment of inertia $I_1$ is placed on it. If the system rotates about the same axis with an initial angular velocity $\omega$,what will be the final angular velocity of the combined system?
