$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table. $A$ small particle of mass $m$ strikes the rod with a velocity $v_0$ at point $C$ at a distance $x$ from the centre $O$. The particle comes to rest after the collision. The value of $x$ such that point $A$ of the rod remains stationary just after the collision is:

$A$ ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ sliding with a velocity $v_0$ suddenly enters a rough surface where the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,as shown in the figure. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.

From a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$,a cube of maximum possible volume is cut. The moment of inertia of the cube about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to one of its faces is

$A$ thin uniform rod,pivoted at $O$,is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed $\omega$,as shown in the figure. At time $t = 0$,a small insect of mass $m$ starts from $O$ and moves with constant speed $v$ with respect to the rod towards the other end. It reaches the end of the rod at time $t = T$ and stops. The angular speed of the system remains $\omega$ throughout. The magnitude of the torque $(|\vec{\tau}|)$ on the system about $O$,as a function of time,is best represented by which plot?

Two cylindrical hollow drums of radii $R$ and $2R$ and of a common height $h$ are rotating with angular velocities $\omega$ (anti-clockwise) and $\omega$ (clockwise) respectively. Their axes,which are fixed,are parallel and in a horizontal plane separated by $3R$. They are now brought into contact.
$(a)$ Show the frictional forces just after contact.
$(b)$ Identify forces and torques external to the system just after contact.
$(c)$ What would be the ratio of final angular velocities when friction ceases?

One of two identical cylinders,cylinder $A$,rotates at an angular speed of $50 \text{ revolutions per second}$. This rotating cylinder is brought into contact with a second stationary cylinder,$B$. Due to kinetic friction between the two cylinders,the stationary cylinder starts rotating with an angular acceleration,while cylinder $A$ undergoes angular deceleration. If the magnitude of the angular acceleration for both cylinders is $1 \text{ revolution per second}^2$,after how many seconds $(t)$ will the angular speeds of both cylinders become equal?
