$A$ uniform rod is fixed to a rotating turntable so that its lower end is on the axis of the turntable and it makes an angle of $20^o$ to the vertical. (The rod is thus rotating with uniform angular velocity about a vertical axis passing through one end.) If the turntable is rotating clockwise as seen from above,is there a torque acting on it,and if so,in what direction?

$A$ uniform thin rod of length $2L$ and mass $m$ lies on a horizontal table. $A$ horizontal impulse $J$ is given to the rod at one end. There is no friction. The total kinetic energy of the rod just after the impulse will be

$A$ solid sphere of mass $M$,radius $R$ and having moment of inertia about an axis passing through the centre of mass as $I$,is recast into a disc of thickness $t$,whose moment of inertia about an axis passing through its edge and perpendicular to its plane remains $I$. Then,the radius of the disc will be

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(1)$ Torque produces angular velocity in an object.
$(2)$ For the rotational motion of a rigid body,the linear variables of all its particles are the same.

$A$ ring of mass $m = 1 \ kg$ and radius $R = 1.25 \ m$ is kept on a rough horizontal ground. $A$ small body of same mass $m = 1 \ kg$ is stuck to the top of the ring. When it is given a slight push forward,the ring starts rolling purely on the ground. What is the maximum speed of the centre of the ring (in $m/s$)?

Two discs of moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre) and rotating with angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident.
$(a)$ Does the law of conservation of angular momentum apply to the situation? Why?
$(b)$ Find the angular speed of the two-disc system.
$(c)$ Calculate the loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process.
$(d)$ Account for this loss.
