Four identical discs each of mass '$\mathrm{M}$' and diameter '$\mathrm{a}$' are arranged in a small plane as shown in figure. If the moment of inertia of the system about $\mathrm{OO}^{\prime}$ is $\frac{x}{4} \,\mathrm{Ma}^{2}$. Then, the value of $x$ will be ____________.

Explanation:
$I = 2 \times \left( {{{M{{\left( {{a \over 2}} \right)}^2}} \over 4}} \right) + 2 \times \left( {{{M{{\left( {{a \over 2}} \right)}^2}} \over 4} + M{{\left( {{a \over 2}} \right)}^2}} \right)$
$ = {{M{a^2}} \over 8} + {{5M{a^2}} \over 8}$
$ = {{6M{a^2}} \over 8} = {3 \over 4}M{a^2}$
A solid cylinder length is suspended symmetrically through two massless strings, as shown in the figure. The distance from the initial rest position, the cylinder should be unbinding the strings to achieve a speed of $4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$, is ____________ cm. (take g = $10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$)

Explanation:
For a solid cylinder, the moment of inertia I is given by $\frac{1}{2} m r^2$. The kinetic energy due to rotation is given by $\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$. But we also know that $\omega = \frac{v}{r}$, hence the rotational kinetic energy can be written as $\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{2} m v^2 = \frac{1}{4} m v^2$, where $\frac{1}{2}$ is from the moment of inertia of the solid cylinder.
Therefore, the total kinetic energy (linear + rotational) when the string snaps is $\frac{1}{2} m v^2 + \frac{1}{4} m v^2 = \frac{3}{4} m v^2$.
Equating this to the potential energy $mgh$ and solving for h gives the result :
$ h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \times \frac{3}{2} = 1.2 \, \mathrm{m} = 120 \, \mathrm{cm} $
Alternate Method :
Applying COE, we get
$ m g h=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{K}^2}{r^2}\right) $
$\mathrm{K}=$ radius of gyration
For a solid cylinder, $\frac{\mathrm{K}^2}{r^2}=\frac{1}{2}$
$ \begin{aligned} \therefore h & =\frac{v^2}{2 g}\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right) \\\\ & =\frac{16}{2 \times 10} \times \frac{3}{2} \\\\ & =1.2 \mathrm{~m} \\\\ & =120 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $
A pulley of radius $1.5 \mathrm{~m}$ is rotated about its axis by a force $F=\left(12 \mathrm{t}-3 \mathrm{t}^{2}\right) N$ applied tangentially (while t is measured in seconds). If moment of inertia of the pulley about its axis of rotation is $4.5 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{2}$, the number of rotations made by the pulley before its direction of motion is reversed, will be $\frac{K}{\pi}$. The value of K is ___________.
Explanation:

$FR = I\alpha $
$\alpha = {{(12t - 3{t^2}) \times 1.5} \over {4.5}} = 4t - {t^2}$
$w = \int {\alpha \,dt = 2{t^2} - {{{t^3}} \over 3}} $
$w = 0$
$ \Rightarrow {t^2}\left[ {2 - {t \over 3}} \right] = 0$
$t = 6$ sec
$\left. {\theta = \int\limits_0^6 {\left[ {2{t^2} - {{{t^3}} \over 3}} \right]dt = \left[ {{{2{t^3}} \over 3} - {{{t^4}} \over {12}}} \right]} } \right|_0^6$
$ = \left[ {{2 \over 3} \times {6^3} - {{{6^4}} \over {12}}} \right] = 36$
$n = {{36} \over {2\pi }}$
$ = {{18} \over \pi }$
The radius of gyration of a cylindrical rod about an axis of rotation perpendicular to its length and passing through the center will be ___________ $\mathrm{m}$.
Given, the length of the rod is $10 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~m}$.
Explanation:
$l = {{M{L^2}} \over {12}} = M{K^2}$
$K = {L \over {\sqrt {12} }} = {{10\sqrt 3 } \over {\sqrt {12} }} = 5\,m$
A disc of mass $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ and radius $\mathrm{R}$ is free to rotate about a horizontal axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of disc. A body of same mass as that of disc is fixed at the highest point of the disc. Now the system is released, when the body comes to the lowest position, its angular speed will be $4 \sqrt{\frac{x}{3 R}} \,\operatorname{rad}{s}^{-1}$ where $x=$ ____________. $\left(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)$
Explanation:

Loss in P.E. = Gain in K.E.
$2mgR = {1 \over 2}\left[ {{1 \over 2}m{R^2} + m{R^2}} \right]{w^2}$
$2mgR = {1 \over 2} \times {3 \over 2}m{R^2}\,{w^2}$
${w^2} = {{8g} \over {3R}}$
$w = \sqrt {{{8g} \over {3R}}} = 4\sqrt {{g \over {2 \times 3R}}} $
$ \Rightarrow x = {g \over 2} = 5$
Four particles with a mass of 1 kg, 2 kg, 3 kg and 4 kg are situated at the corners of a square with side 1 m (as shown in the figure). The moment of inertia of the system, about an axis passing through the point O and perpendicular to the plane of the square, is ______________ kg m2.

Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} &\mathrm{I}_{\text {net }}=(1+2+3+4) \cdot\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2} \text {, where a = side of square } \\\\ &=10 \times \frac{1^{2}}{2}=5 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{2} \end{aligned} $
The moment of inertia of a uniform thin rod about a perpendicular axis passing through one end is I1. The same rod is bent into a ring and its moment of inertia about a diameter is I2. If ${{{I_1}} \over {{I_2}}}$ is ${{x{\pi ^2}} \over 3}$, then the value of x will be ____________.
Explanation:
${I_1} = {{M{L^2}} \over 3}$ ..... (1)
For ring : ${I_2} = {{M{R^2}} \over 2}$
and $2\pi R = L$
$ \Rightarrow {I_2} = {M \over 2}\left( {{{{L^2}} \over {4{\pi ^2}}}} \right)$ ...... (2)
$ \Rightarrow {{{I_1}} \over {{I_2}}} = {{8{\pi ^2}} \over 3}$
$ \Rightarrow x = 8$
A uniform disc with mass M = 4 kg and radius R = 10 cm is mounted on a fixed horizontal axle as shown in figure. A block with mass m = 2 kg hangs from a massless cord that is wrapped around the rim of the disc. During the fall of the block, the cord does not slip and there is no friction at the axle. The tension in the cord is ____________ N.
(Take g = 10 ms$-$2)
Explanation:

20 $-$ T = 2a
and 0.1 $\times$ T = 0.02 $\alpha$ = ${{0.02a} \over {0.1}}$
T = 2a
$\Rightarrow$ a = 5 m/sec2
So T = 10 N
The position vector of 1 kg object is $\overrightarrow r = \left( {3\widehat i - \widehat j} \right)m$ and its velocity $\overrightarrow v = \left( {3\widehat j + \widehat k} \right)m{s^{ - 1}}$. The magnitude of its angular momentum is $\sqrt x $ Nm where x is ___________.
Explanation:
$\left| {\overrightarrow i } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow r \times (m\overrightarrow v )} \right|$
$ = \left| {(3\widehat i - \widehat j) \times (3\widehat j + \widehat k)} \right|$
$ = \left| { - \widehat i - 3\widehat j + 9\widehat k} \right|$
$ = \sqrt {91} $
A rolling wheel of 12 kg is on an inclined plane at position P and connected to a mass of 3 kg through a string of fixed length and pulley as shown in figure. Consider PR as friction free surface. The velocity of centre of mass of the wheel when it reaches at the bottom Q of the inclined plane PQ will be ${1 \over 2}\sqrt {xgh} $ m/s. The value of x is ___________.
Explanation:
For rolling wheel
$[12g\sin \alpha - 3g\sin \alpha ] \times R = (2 \times 12{R^2} + 3{R^2}) \times {a \over R}$
$ \Rightarrow {{9g\sin \alpha } \over {27}} = a$
$ \Rightarrow a = {{g\sin \alpha } \over 3}$
$\therefore$ $v = \sqrt {2 \times {{g\sin \alpha } \over 3} \times {h \over {\sin \alpha }}} = \sqrt {{2 \over 3}gh} $
$ = {1 \over 2} \times \sqrt {{8 \over 3}gh} $
$\therefore$ $x = {8 \over 3} = 2.67$
Moment of Inertia (M.I.) of four bodies having same mass 'M' and radius '2R' are as follows:
I1 = M.I. of solid sphere about its diameter
I2 = M.I. of solid cylinder about its axis
I3 = M.I. of solid circular disc about its diameter
I4 = M.I. of thin circular ring about its diameter
If 2(I2 + I3) + I4 = x . I1, then the value of x will be __________.
Explanation:
$2\left( {{1 \over 2} + {1 \over 4}} \right) \times M{(2R)^2} + {1 \over 2}M{(2R)^2} = x{2 \over 5}M{(2R)^2}$
$ \Rightarrow 1 + {1 \over 2} + {1 \over 2} = x \times {2 \over 5}$
$ \Rightarrow x = 5$
A metre scale is balanced on a knife edge at its centre. When two coins, each of mass 10 g are put one on the top of the other at the 10.0 cm mark the scale is found to be balanced at 40.0 cm mark. The mass of the metre scale is found to be x $\times$ 10$-$2 kg. The value of x is ___________.
Explanation:
Let $\mathrm{M}$ be the mass of the meter scale.
The weight $\mathrm{Mg}$ of the scale acts at $50 \mathrm{~cm}$ mark.
Finally after putting two coins on the meter scale, balancing the torques about the knife edge, we get,
$20 g \times 30=\mathrm{Mg} \times 10$
$ \begin{aligned} M & =60 \mathrm{~g} \\\\ & =60 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg} \\\\ & =6 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg} \\\\ & =x \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg} \end{aligned} $
On comparing, we get $x=6$

[The coefficient of static friction, $\mu$s' is 0.4]
I1 = M.I. of thin circular ring about its diameter,
I2 = M.I. of circular disc about an axis perpendicular to disc and going through the centre,
I3 = M.I. of solid cylinder about its axis and

Explanation:

by energy conservation $mgl = {1 \over 2}I{\omega ^2} = {1 \over 2}{{m{l^2}{\omega ^2}} \over 3}$
$ \Rightarrow \omega = \sqrt {{{6g} \over l}} $
As we know the relation between the linear speed and angular speed,
$v = \omega r = \omega l = \sqrt {6gl} $
$v = \sqrt {6 \times 10 \times .6} $ = 6 m/s
Hence, the speed of the free end of the rod when it passes through its lowest position is 6 m/s.

$ = \left[ {{{M(36{r^2})} \over {12}} + {{M(25{r^2})} \over 4}} \right] + \left[ {{{M{r^2}} \over 2} + {{169M{r^2}} \over 4}} \right]$
= 52 Mr2
Ans. 52.00
Explanation:

${1 \over 2}{I_1}{({\omega _1})^2} = {1 \over 2}{I_2}{({\omega _2})^2}$
${I_1}{\left( {{v \over {3R}}} \right)^2} = {I_2}{\left( {{v \over R}} \right)^2}$
${{{I_1}} \over {{I_2}}} = {9 \over 1}$
Explanation:
$\tau = {{{{m{R^2}} \over 2} \times [0 - \omega ]} \over {\Delta t}}$
$ = {{10 \times {{(20 \times {{10}^{ - 2}})}^2}} \over 2} \times {{600 \times \pi } \over {30 \times 10}}$
$ = 0.4\pi = 4\pi \times {10^{ - 2}}$
$\overrightarrow r = 10\alpha {t^2}\widehat i + 5\beta (t - 5)\widehat j$
Where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are dimensional constants.
The angular momentum of the particle becomes the same as it was for t = 0 at time t = ____________ seconds.
Explanation:
$\overrightarrow v = 20\alpha t\widehat i + 5\beta \widehat j$
$\overrightarrow L = m(\overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow v )$
$ = m[10\alpha {t^2}\widehat i + 5\beta (t - 5)\widehat j] \times [20\alpha t\widehat i + 5\beta \widehat j]$
$\overrightarrow L = m[50\alpha \beta {t^2}\widehat k - 10\alpha \beta ({t^2} - 5t)\widehat k]$
At t = 0, $\overrightarrow L = \overrightarrow 0 $
$50\alpha \beta {t^2} - 100\alpha \beta ({t^2} - 5t) = 0$
t $-$ 2 (t $-$ 5) = 0
t = 10 sec
Explanation:

$\left| \omega \right| = {{{v_0}} \over R}$
${\overrightarrow v _p} = {v_0}\widehat i + \omega R( - \widehat j) = {v_0}\widehat i - {v_0}\widehat j$
$\left| {{{\overrightarrow v }_p}} \right| = \sqrt 2 {v_0}$

Ring
mgh = ${1 \over 2}I{\omega ^2}$
mgh = $ = {1 \over 2}(2m{R^2}){{v_R^2} \over {{R^2}}}$
${v_R} = \sqrt {gh} $
Solid cylinder
mgh = ${1 \over 2}I{\omega ^2}$
mgh $ = {1 \over 2}\left( {{3 \over 2}m{R^2}} \right){{v_C^2} \over {{R^2}}}$
${v_C} = \sqrt {{{4gh} \over 3}} $
${{{v_R}} \over {{v_C}}} = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$
Explanation:
$\alpha = 1200 \times 6$
$\theta = {\omega _0}t + {1 \over 2}\alpha {t^2}$
$ = 600 \times {{10} \over {60}} + {1 \over 2} \times 1200 \times 6 \times {1 \over {36}}$
$\theta = 200$
Explanation:
When the disc slips down the inclined plane, it takes time t1. Therefore, in this case its acceleration, a1 = g sin$\theta$
$\because$ s = ut1 + ${1 \over 2}$a1t$_1^2$
$\Rightarrow$ s = ${1 \over 2}$ g sin$\theta$t$_1^2$ .... (i)
And when the disc rolls down the inclined plane, it takes time t2. Therefore in this case, its acceleration,
${a_2} = {{g\sin \theta } \over {1 + {{{K^2}} \over {{R^2}}}}} = {{g\sin \theta } \over {1 + {1 \over 2}}} = {2 \over 3}g\sin \theta $ [$\because$ for disc, ${{{K^2}} \over {{R^2}}} = {1 \over 2}$]
$\because$ s = ut2 + ${1 \over 2}$ a2t$_2^2$ = ${1 \over 2}$ . ${2 \over 3}$ g sin$\theta$ t$_2^2$ .... (ii)
On dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
${{{t_2}} \over {{t_1}}} = \sqrt {{3 \over 2}} $ .... (iii)
According to question, value of ${{{t_2}} \over {{t_1}}}$ is $\sqrt {{3 \over x}} $.
Comparing it with Eq. (iii), we get x = 2
Explanation:
$ = 82\pi $
${\omega _i} = {{900 \times 2\pi } \over {60}} = 30\pi $
$\alpha = {{{\omega _f} - {\omega _i}} \over t}$
$ = {{82\pi - 30\pi } \over {26}}$
= 2 $\pi$ rad/sec2
$\theta = {{\omega _f^2 - \omega _i^2} \over {2\alpha }}$
$ = {{(82\pi + 30\pi )(82\pi - 30\pi )} \over {2 \times 2\pi }}$
$ = {{(112 \times 52){\pi ^2}} \over {4\pi }}$
