$A$ wheel of moment of inertia $2 \ kg \ m^2$ is rotating about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane at a speed of $60 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. Due to friction, it comes to rest in $5$ minutes. The angular momentum of the wheel three minutes before it stops rotating is:

$A$ uniform rod of length $l$ is pivoted at one of its ends on a vertical shaft of negligible radius. When the shaft rotates at angular speed $\omega$,the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with it (see figure). To find $\theta$,equate the rate of change of angular momentum (direction going into the paper) $\frac{m l^{2}}{12} \omega^{2} \sin \theta \cos \theta$ about the centre of mass $(CM)$ to the torque provided by the horizontal and vertical forces $F_{H}$ and $F_{V}$ about the $CM$. The value of $\theta$ is then such that:
