$A$ uniform solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$ rotates about a frictionless horizontal axle. Two similar masses $m$ are suspended with the help of two ropes wrapped around the cylinder. If the system is released from rest,then the acceleration of each mass will be

  • A
    $\frac{4mg}{M + 2m}$
  • B
    $\frac{4mg}{M + 4m}$
  • C
    $\frac{2mg}{M + m}$
  • D
    $\frac{2mg}{M + 2m}$

$A$ thin rod is hinged at point $O$ and is in an unstable equilibrium position. It falls under the influence of gravity due to a slight disturbance. It makes angles of $60^{\circ}$,$90^{\circ}$,and $180^{\circ}$ with the vertical in positions $(2)$,$(3)$,and $(4)$ respectively. If $\omega_2$,$\omega_3$,and $\omega_4$ are the angular velocities in these positions,then:

The mass of the pulley is $m$ and its radius is $R$. Assume the pulley to be a uniform disc. The pulley is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. The string is massless and inextensible,and it is wrapped on the pulley. There is no slipping between the string and the pulley. The length of the string which is not wrapped on the pulley is $2R$. $A$ block of mass $m$ is released from the position as shown in the figure. The impulse exerted by the string on the pulley at the moment the string becomes taut is $J$. The value of $\frac{2m \sqrt{gR}}{J}$ is equal to:

$A$ rigid body rotates about a fixed axis with variable angular velocity equal to $\alpha - \beta t$,where $t$ is time and $\alpha, \beta$ are constants. Find the angle (in radians) through which it rotates before it stops.

Four identical point masses $m$ are joined by light strings of length $l$ and arranged to form a square frame. The center of the table coincides with the center of the arrangement. If the arrangement rotates with a constant angular velocity $\omega$,find the tension in each string.
