Three identical spherical shells,each of mass $m$ and radius $r$,are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis $XX'$ which touches two shells and passes through the diameter of the third shell. The moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spherical shells about the $XX'$ axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{11}{5} mr^2$
  • B
    $3 mr^2$
  • C
    $\frac{16}{5} mr^2$
  • D
    $4 mr^2$

$A$ thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizontal surface and is free to move in any way on the surface. Its mass is $0.300 \, kg$ and length is $2 \, m$. Two particles,each of mass $0.100 \, kg$,are moving on the same surface towards the two ends of the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar. One particle moves with a velocity of $10 \, m/s$ towards one end,and the other moves with a velocity of $5 \, m/s$ towards the other end. If the collision between the particles and the bar is completely elastic and both particles strike the bar simultaneously,find the velocity of the centre of mass of the bar after the collision in $m/s$.

In the case of rotational dynamics,which one of the following statements is correct?
$[\vec{\omega} = \text{angular velocity}, \vec{v} = \text{linear velocity}, \vec{r} = \text{radius vector}, \vec{\alpha} = \text{angular acceleration}, \vec{a} = \text{linear acceleration}, \vec{L} = \text{angular momentum}, \vec{p} = \text{linear momentum}, \vec{\tau} = \text{torque}, \vec{f} = \text{force}]$

$STATEMENT-1$ If there is no external torque on a body about its center of mass,then the velocity of the center of mass remains constant. because
$STATEMENT-2$ The linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

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:

$A$ ring of mass $m = 1 \ kg$ and radius $R = 1.25 \ m$ is kept on a rough horizontal ground. $A$ small body of same mass $m = 1 \ kg$ is stuck to the top of the ring. When it is given a slight push forward,the ring starts rolling purely on the ground. What is the maximum speed of the centre of the ring (in $m/s$)?
