$A$ uniform disc of mass $100 \ kg$ and radius $2 \ m$ is rotating at $1 \ rad/s$ about a perpendicular axis passing through its centre. $A$ boy of mass $60 \ kg$ standing at the centre of the disc suddenly jumps to a point which is $1 \ m$ from the centre of the disc. The final angular velocity of the boy (in $rad/s$) is

If the radius of a rotating disc is suddenly halved while its mass remains the same,its angular velocity will become:

$A$ boy runs and sits on a rotating platform. Which of the following quantities will be conserved?

If the Earth were to suddenly contract to $\frac{1}{n}$ th of its present radius without any change in its mass, the duration of the new day will be nearly

$A$ circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $\omega_0$. When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $\omega(t)$ will vary with time $t$ as:
