Two discs of moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre) and rotating with angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident.
$(a)$ Does the law of conservation of angular momentum apply to the situation? Why?
$(b)$ Find the angular speed of the two-disc system.
$(c)$ Calculate the loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process.
$(d)$ Account for this loss.

$A$ uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is attached to two identical massless springs of spring constant $k$ which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance $d$ from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in a horizontal plane. The unstretched length of each spring is $L$. The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass $(CM)$ at a distance $L$ from the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity $\vec{V}_0 = V_0 \hat{i}$. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$.
$1.$ The net external force acting on the disk when its centre of mass is at displacement $x$ with respect to its equilibrium position is
$(A) -kx$ $(B) -2kx$ $(C) -\frac{2kx}{3}$ $(D) -\frac{4kx}{3}$
$2.$ The centre of mass of the disk undergoes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency $\omega$ equal to
$(A) \sqrt{\frac{k}{M}}$ $(B) \sqrt{\frac{2k}{M}}$ $(C) \sqrt{\frac{2k}{3M}}$ $(D) \sqrt{\frac{4k}{3M}}$
$3.$ The maximum value of $V_0$ for which the disk will roll without slipping is
$(A) \mu g \sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}$ $(B) \mu g \sqrt{\frac{M}{2k}}$ $(C) \mu g \sqrt{\frac{3M}{k}}$ $(D) \mu g \sqrt{\frac{5M}{2k}}$

The torque acting on a body about a point is equal to $\overrightarrow{A} \times \overrightarrow{L}$,where $\overrightarrow{A}$ is a constant vector and $\overrightarrow{L}$ is the angular momentum about that point. This implies that:

$A$ particle starts from the point $(0\,m, 8\,m)$ and moves with a uniform velocity of $3\, \hat{i} \,m/s$. After $5\,s$,the angular velocity of the particle about the origin will be:

$Assertion$ : If polar ice melts, days will be shorter.
$Reason$ : Moment of inertia decreases and thus angular velocity increases.

$A$ 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 $m/s$)?
