$A$ circular platform is situated in a horizontal plane and can rotate about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise is sitting at one edge of the platform,and the platform is rotating with a constant angular velocity $\omega_0$. If the tortoise starts moving with a uniform speed along a chord of the circular platform,how will the angular velocity of the platform change with time $t$?

  • A
    The angular velocity remains constant.
    Option A
  • B
    The angular velocity first increases and then decreases.
    Option B
  • C
    The angular velocity first decreases and then increases.
    Option C
  • D
    The angular velocity increases linearly and then decreases linearly.

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 $\frac{13}{4}R\omega\hat{i} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
$(D)$ The point $P$ has a linear velocity $(3 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4})R\omega\hat{i} + \frac{1}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.

$A$ rod of mass $m$ and length $L$,pivoted at one of its ends,is hanging vertically. $A$ bullet of the same mass moving at speed $v$ strikes the rod horizontally at a distance $x$ from its pivoted end and gets embedded in it. The combined system now rotates with angular speed $\omega$ about the pivot. The maximum angular speed $\omega_M$ is achieved for $x=x_M$. Then
$(A)$ $\omega=\frac{3 v x}{ L ^2+3 x^2}$
$(B)$ $\omega=\frac{12 v x}{L^2+12 x^2}$
$(C)$ $x_M=\frac{L}{\sqrt{3}}$
$(D)$ $\omega_M=\frac{v}{2 L} \sqrt{3}$

Two point-like objects of masses $20 \text{ g}$ and $30 \text{ g}$ are fixed at the two ends of a rigid massless rod of length $10 \text{ cm}$. This system is suspended vertically from a rigid ceiling using a thin wire attached to its center of mass,as shown in the figure. The resulting torsional pendulum undergoes small oscillations. The torsional constant of the wire is $1.2 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N m rad}^{-1}$. The angular frequency of the oscillations is $n \times 10^{-3} \text{ rad s}^{-1}$. The value of $n$ is
