$A$ mass $M = 40 \ kg$ is fixed at the very edge of a long plank of mass $80 \ kg$ and length $1 \ m$ which is pivoted such that it is in equilibrium. How far (approx.) from the pivot should a mass of $100 \ kg$ be attached so that the plank starts rotating with an angular acceleration of $1 \ rad/s^2$?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{75} \ m$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{25} \ m$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{15} \ m$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{45} \ m$

$A$ block of mass $M$ has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block rests on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially,the right edge of the block is at $x=0$,in a coordinate system fixed to the table. $A$ point mass $m$ is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down. When the mass loses contact with the block,its position is $x$ and the velocity is $v$. At that instant,which of the following options is/are correct?
$[A]$ The $x$ component of displacement of the center of mass of the block $M$ is: $-\frac{m R}{M+m}$.
$[B]$ The position of the point mass is: $x=-\sqrt{2} \frac{mR}{M+m}$.
$[C]$ The velocity of the point mass $m$ is: $v=\sqrt{\frac{2 g R}{1+\frac{m}{M}}}$.
$[D]$ The velocity of the block $M$ is: $V=-\frac{m}{M} \sqrt{2 g R}$.

$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ has a moment of inertia $I$ about its geometric axis. It is melted and recast into a disc of radius $r$ and thickness $t$. If the moment of inertia of this disc about an axis tangent to its edge and perpendicular to its plane is also $I$,find the value of $r$.

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(1)$ In the law of conservation of momentum, the center of mass velocity remains constant.
$(2)$ "If the resultant of internal forces on a system is zero, then the total linear momentum of the system remains constant." This is the statement of the law of conservation of linear momentum.
$(3)$ The position of the center of mass of a rigid body must always be inside the rigid body.
$(4)$ All particles of a rigid body undergoing rotational motion have the same linear velocity.

$A$ body with a moment of inertia of $3 \ kg \cdot m^2$ rotating with an angular speed of $2 \ rad/s$ has the same kinetic energy as a mass of $12 \ kg$ moving with a speed of ......... $m/s$.
