Four particles each of mass $m$ are lying symmetrically on the rim of a disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through one of the particles and perpendicular to the plane of the disc is:

  • A
    $16 mR^2$
  • B
    $(M/2 + 6m)R^2$
  • C
    $(M/2 + 8m)R^2$
  • D
    $(M/2 + 4m)R^2$

Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed $\omega$ about its centre $O$. The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown,two pebbles $P$ and $Q$ are simultaneously projected at an angle towards $R$. The velocity of projection is in the $y-z$ plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that $(i)$ they land back on the disc before the disc completes $\frac{1}{8}$ rotation,$(ii)$ their range is less than half disc radius,and $(iii)$ $\omega$ remains constant throughout. Then

Find the increase in the moment of inertia $I$ of a uniform rod (coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$) about its perpendicular bisector when its temperature is slightly increased by $\Delta T$.

$A$ solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has a moment of inertia $I$ about its diameter. It 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 $I$. The radius of the disc will be:

$A$ sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is attached by a light rod of length $l$ to a point $P$. The sphere rolls without slipping on a circular track as shown. It is released from the horizontal position. The angular momentum of the system about $P$ when the rod becomes vertical is:
