A fly wheel having mass 3 kg and radius 5 m is free to rotate about a horizontal axis. A string having negligible mass is wound around the wheel and the loose end of the string is connected to 3 kg mass. The mass is kept at rest initially and released. Kinetic energy of the wheel when the mass descends by 3 m is ________ J. ($g = 10~\mathrm{m/s^2}$)
Explanation:
Mass of flywheel, $\mathrm{M}=3 \mathrm{~kg}$
Radius of flywheel, $\mathrm{R}=5 \mathrm{~m}$
Descending mass $\mathrm{m}=3 \mathrm{~kg}$
Height through which the mass is descended, $h=3 \mathrm{~m}$
Initial velocity $\mathrm{u}=0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Using conservation of energy,
Loss in Potential Energy $=$ Gain in Kinetic Energy of mass + Gain in Rotational Kinetic Energy of wheel
$ \mathrm{mgh}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2 $
Since the string does not slip:
$ \mathrm{v}=\mathrm{R} \omega $
Moment of Inertia (I) of the flywheel (disk) $=\mathrm{I}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^2$
$ \mathrm{mgh}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^2\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)^2 $
$\Rightarrow $$ m g h=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{4} M v^2 $
Substituting the values :
$ (3)(10)(3)=\frac{1}{2}(3) v^2+\frac{1}{4}(3) v^2 $
$\Rightarrow $ $90=1.5 \mathrm{v}^2+0.75 \mathrm{v}^2$
$\Rightarrow $ $90=2.25 \mathrm{v}^2$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{v}^2=\frac{90}{2.25}=40 $
The kinetic energy of the wheel is the rotational part of the energy :
$\mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E}_{\cdot \text { wheel }}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^2\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)^2=\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{Mv}^2$
$\Rightarrow $ K. E.wheel $=\frac{1}{4} \times 3 \times 40$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E}_{\text {.wheel }}=3 \times 10=30 \mathrm{~J} $
The kinetic energy of the flywheel when the mass has descended by 3 m is 30 J.
Hence, the correct answer is 30.
A solid sphere of radius 10 cm is rotating about an axis which is at a distance 15 cm from its centre. The radius of gyration about this axis is $\sqrt{n} \mathrm{~cm}$. The value of $n$ is
Explanation:
To find the radius of gyration, we first need to determine the moment of inertia (I) of the solid sphere about the given axis using the Parallel Axis Theorem.

Radius of sphere $=R=10 \mathrm{~cm}$
Distance of the axis from the centre $=\mathrm{d}=15 \mathrm{~cm}$
Let the mass of the sphere be M .
The moment of inertia of a solid sphere about an axis passing through its centre is :
$ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2 $
According to the Parallel Axis Theorem, the moment of inertia about an axis at a distance d is :
$ \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}+\mathrm{Md}^2 $
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{I}=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2+\mathrm{Md}^2 \ldots (i)$
The radius of gyration k is defined by the relation :
$ \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{Mk}^2 \ldots (ii)$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{Mk}^2=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2+\mathrm{Md}^2$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{k}^2=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{R}^2+\mathrm{d}^2$
Substituting the values, $\mathrm{R}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\mathrm{d}=15 \mathrm{~cm}$ :
$ \mathrm{k}^2=\frac{2}{5}(10)^2+(15)^2 $
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{k}^2=\frac{2}{5}(100)+225$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{k}^2=2(20)+225$
$ \mathrm{k}^2=40+225=265 $
The question states that the radius of gyration $\mathrm{k}=\sqrt{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{cm}$.
Therefore, $\mathrm{k}^2=\mathrm{n}=265 \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=265$
Therefore, the value of n is 265. Hence, the correct answer is 265 .
A uniform solid cylinder of length $L$ and radius $R$ has moment of inertia about its axis equal to $I_1$. A small co-centric cylinder of length $L / 2$ and radius $R / 3$ carved from this cylinder has moment of inertia about its axis equals to $I_2$. The ratio $I_1 / I_2$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
The moment of inertia of a uniform solid cylinder of mass M and radius R about its central axis is given by :
$ \mathrm{I}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^2 $
If area of cross-section of the cylinder is A and length is L then volume is,
$ V=\pi R^2 L $
If the density of the cylinder is $\rho$ and volume is $V$, then the mass of the cylinder is, $m=\rho V$
Putting in the expression for the moment of inertia,
$ I=\frac{1}{2}\left[\rho \pi R^2 L\right] \times R^2=\frac{\pi \rho R^4 L}{2} $
For the larger cylinder, $\rho_1=\rho$, the radius is $\mathrm{R}_1=\mathrm{R}$ and the length is $\mathrm{L}_1=\mathrm{L}$
So, the moment of inertia of the larger cylinder is,
$ I_1=\frac{\pi \rho_1 R_1^4 L_1}{2}=\frac{\pi \rho R^4 L}{2} $
For the smaller cylinder, as it is carved from the same material, so it has the same density ( $\rho_2=\rho$ ). The radius is $\mathrm{R}_2=\mathrm{R} / 3$ and the length is $\mathrm{L}_2=\mathrm{L} / 2$
So, the moment of inertia of the smaller cylinder is,
$ \mathrm{I}_2=\frac{\pi \rho_2 \mathrm{R}_2^4 \mathrm{~L}_2}{2}=\frac{\pi \rho\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{3}\right)^4\left(\frac{\mathrm{~L}}{2}\right)}{2}=\frac{\pi \rho \mathrm{R}^4 \mathrm{~L}}{324} $
Now, the ratio of the moment of inertia of larger cylinder to the smaller cylinder is,
$ \frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{\left(\frac{\pi \rho R^4 L}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{\pi \rho R^4 L}{324}\right)}=\frac{324}{2}=162 $
Therefore, the value of ratio of moment of inertia is $\frac{I_1}{I_2}=162$.
Hence, the correct answer is 162 .
Suppose there is a uniform circular disc of mass $M \mathrm{~kg}$ and radius $r \mathrm{~m}$ shown in figure. The shaded regions are cut out from the disc. The moment of inertia of the remainder about the axis $A$ of the disc is given by $\frac{x}{256} M r^2$. The value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
Mass of full disc is M
Radius of full disc is $r$
Surface Mass Density $=\sigma=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{\pi \mathrm{r}^2}$
Two identical small discs of radius $r^{\prime}=\frac{r}{4}$ are removed.
Mass of each small disc (m):
$ \mathrm{m}=\sigma \times \pi\left(\mathrm{r}^{\prime}\right)^2=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{\pi \mathrm{r}^2} \times \pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{4}\right)^2=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{16} $
The centre of each small disc is at a distance $\mathrm{d}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{r}$ from the central point. Since axis A passes through the centre, the distance of each centre from axis A is $\mathrm{d}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{r}$.
The moment of inertia of full disc $\left(\mathrm{I}_{\text {total }}\right)$ :
$ \mathrm{I}_{\text {total }}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mr}^2 $
The moment of inertia of small disc about its own centre ( $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}$ ):
$ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}\left(\mathrm{r}^{\prime}\right)^2=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{M}}{16}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{4}\right)^2=\frac{\mathrm{Mr}^2}{512} $
The moment of inertia of small disc about axis A ( $\mathrm{I}_{\text {removed }}$ ) using the parallel axis theorem :
$ \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}+\mathrm{md}^2 $
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{I}_{\text {removed }}=\frac{\mathrm{Mr}^2}{512}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{M}}{16}\right)\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{r}}{4}\right)^2=\frac{\mathrm{Mr}^2}{512}+\frac{9 \mathrm{Mr}^2}{256}=\frac{\mathrm{Mr}^2+18 \mathrm{Mr}^2}{512}=\frac{19}{512} \mathrm{Mr}^2$
The moment of inertia of rest of the system is ( $I_{\text {rem }}$ )
$ \mathrm{I}_{\text {rem }}=\mathrm{I}_{\text {total }}-2\left(\mathrm{I}_{\text {removed }}\right) $
$\Rightarrow $ $I_{\mathrm{rem}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mr}^2-2\left(\frac{19}{512} \mathrm{Mr}^2\right)=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mr}^2-\frac{19}{256} \mathrm{Mr}^2$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{rem}}=\left(\frac{128-19}{256}\right) \mathrm{Mr}^2=\frac{109}{256} \mathrm{Mr}^2=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{256} \mathrm{Mr}^2$
$ \Rightarrow x=109 $
Therefore, the value of x is 109 . Hence, the correct answer is $\mathbf{1 0 9}$.
Two masses $m$ and 2 m are connected by a light string going over a pulley (disc) of mass 30 m with radius $r=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$. The pulley is mounted in a vertical plane and it is free to rotate about its axis. The 2 m mass is released from rest and its speed when it has descended through a height of 3.6 m is
$\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. (Assume string does not slip and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
Explanation:

When the mass $(2 \mathrm{~m})$ descends by a height $\mathrm{h}=3.6 \mathrm{~m}$. Its potential energy change is $-(2 \mathrm{~m})$ gh.
Since they are connected by a taut string, the mass ( m ) is pulled upward by the exact same distance $\mathrm{h}=3.6 \mathrm{~m}$.
So, its potential energy change is +mgh .
The net change in potential energy for the entire system is:
$ \Delta \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{net}}=\mathrm{mgh}-2 \mathrm{mgh}=-\mathrm{mgh} $
This means the system loses an amount of potential energy equal to mgh.
Initially, the system is released from rest, so the initial kinetic energy is zero ( $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}=0$ ).
Finally, when the 2 m mass has a speed v , the m mass also has a speed v . The pulley will be rotating with an angular speed $\omega$. Because the string does not slip, the linear speed of the string equals the tangential speed of the pulley rim:
$ \omega=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{r}} $
The total final kinetic energy ( $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}$ ) is the sum of the translational kinetic energies of the two masses and the rotational kinetic energy of the pulley:
$ \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{K}_{\text {trans }(\mathrm{m})}+\mathrm{K}_{\text {trans }(2 \mathrm{~m})}+\mathrm{K}_{\text {rot }(\text { pulley })} $
$\Rightarrow $ $ K_f=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2}(2 m) v^2+\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 $
The pulley is given as a solid disc. The moment of inertia (I) of a uniform solid disc about its central axis is $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mr}^2$, where M is the mass of the disc.
$ \mathrm{I}=\frac{1}{2}(30 \mathrm{~m}) \mathrm{r}^2=15 \mathrm{mr}^2 $
So, the rotational kinetic energy of pulley is, $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{rot}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2=\frac{1}{2}\left(15 \mathrm{mr}^2\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{r}}\right)^2$
$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{rot}}=\frac{1}{2}\left(15 \mathrm{mr}^2\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{\mathrm{r}^2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{rot}}=7.5 \mathrm{mv}^2 $
So, the final kinetic energy of the system is
$ \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+m v^2+7.5 m v^2 $
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=0.5 m v^2+1 m v^2+7.5 m v^2=9 m v^2 $
By the principle of conservation of energy, the magnitude of the potential energy lost equals the kinetic energy gained:
$ \left|\Delta U_{\text {net }}\right|=K_f $
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{mgh}=9 \mathrm{mv}^2$
$\Rightarrow $ $v^2=\frac{g h}{9}$
$\Rightarrow $ $v^2=\frac{10 \times 3.6}{9}$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{v}^2=4 \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} $
Therefore, the speed of the 2 m mass when it has descended through a height of 3.6 m is $2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. Hence, the correct answer is 2 .
A circular disc has radius $R_1$ and thickness $T_1$. Another circular disc made of the same material has radius $R_2$ and thickness $T_2$. If the moment of inertia of both discs are same and $\frac{R_1}{R_2}=2$ then $\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{1}{\alpha}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
Consider a uniform circular disc of radius $R$, thickness $T$, and made of a material with volume mass density $\rho$. The total volume of this disc is $\mathrm{V}=\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{~T}$.
The total mass of the disc is density times volume :
$ \mathrm{M}=\rho \cdot \mathrm{V}=\rho \pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{~T} $
Its moment of inertia (I) about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane, $\mathrm{I}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^2$ Putting the expression of mass,
$ \mathrm{I}=\frac{1}{2} \times\left(\rho \pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{~T}\right) \times \mathrm{R}^2 $
$ \mathrm{I}=\frac{1}{2} \pi \rho \mathrm{~T} \mathrm{R}^4 $
We have two discs :
Disc 1 : Radius $R_1$, Thickness $T_1$, Density $\rho_1$
Disc 2 : Radius $\mathrm{R}_2$, Thickness $\mathrm{T}_2$, Density $\rho_2$
As they are made of the same material. Therefore, their volume mass densities must be equal :
$ \rho_1=\rho_2=\rho $
Their moments of inertia are the same :
$ \mathrm{I}_1=\mathrm{I}_2 $
$\Rightarrow $ $\frac{1}{2} \pi \rho \mathrm{~T}_1 \mathrm{R}_1^4=\frac{1}{2} \pi \rho \mathrm{~T}_2 \mathrm{R}_2^4$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{T}_1 \mathrm{R}_1^4=\mathrm{T}_2 \mathrm{R}_2^4$
$\Rightarrow $ $\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_2^4}{\mathrm{R}_1^4}$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_2}{\mathrm{R}_1}\right)^4 $
It is given that their radii are in ratio, $\frac{\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_2}=2 \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{R}_2}{\mathrm{R}_1}=\frac{1}{2}$.
$ \frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4=\frac{1}{16} $
$\Rightarrow $ $ \frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{1}{16}=\frac{1}{\alpha} \Rightarrow \alpha=16 $
Therefore, the value of $\alpha$ is 16.
Two identical thin rods of mass $M \mathrm{~kg}$ and length $L \mathrm{~m}$ are connected as shown in figure. Moment of inertia of the combined rod system about an axis passing through point $P$ and perpendicular to the plane of the rods is $\frac{x}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$. The value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
The moment of inertia of a uniform rod of mass M and length L about an axis passing through its end and perpendicular to its length is :
$ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{end}}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{ML}^2 $
The vertical rod has one of its ends at point P . Thus, for the vertical rod :
$ \mathrm{I}_1=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{ML}^2 $

The horizontal rod is connected to the bottom of the vertical rod. Its centre is at a distance L from point P . To find its moment of inertia about point P , we use the parallel axis theorem :
$ \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}+\mathrm{Md}^2 $
Where :
$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}$ is the moment of inertia about its own centre of mass $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{1}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2$.
d is the distance from point P to the center of the horizontal rod, $\mathrm{d}=\mathrm{L}$.
Substituting these values :
$ \mathrm{I}_2=\frac{1}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2+\mathrm{M}(\mathrm{~L})^2 $
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{I}_2=\frac{1}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2+\mathrm{ML}^2=\frac{13}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2 $
The total moment of inertia is the sum of $\mathrm{I}_1$ and $\mathrm{I}_2$ :
$\mathrm{I}_{\text {total }}=\mathrm{I}_1+\mathrm{I}_2$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{I}_{\text {total }}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{ML}^2+\frac{13}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{I}_{\text {total }}=\frac{4 \mathrm{ML}^2+13 \mathrm{ML}^2}{12}$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{I}_{\text {total }}=\frac{17}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{x}}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2=\frac{17}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=17$
Explanation:
Mass of the disk, $ m = 1 \, \text{kg} $.
Initial angular velocity, $ \omega_i = 1800 \, \text{rpm} $.
Final angular velocity, $ \omega_f = 2100 \, \text{rpm} $.
External torque, $ \tau_{\text{ext}} = 25\pi \, \text{Nm} $.
Time, $ t = 40 \, \text{seconds} $.
First, convert the rotational speeds from revolutions per minute (rpm) to radians per second (rad/s):
$ \omega_i = 1800 \times \frac{2\pi}{60} = 60\pi \, \text{rad/s} $
$ \omega_f = 2100 \times \frac{2\pi}{60} = 70\pi \, \text{rad/s} $
Next, use the equation of motion for rotation to find the angular acceleration $\alpha$:
$ \omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t $
$ 70\pi = 60\pi + \alpha(40) $
Solving for $\alpha$:
$ \alpha = \frac{70\pi - 60\pi}{40} = \frac{10\pi}{40} = \frac{\pi}{4} \, \text{rad/s}^2 $
The torque and moment of inertia relationship is given by:
$ \tau = I \alpha $
For a thin solid disk rotating along its diameter, the moment of inertia $ I $ is $ \frac{mR^2}{4} $. Thus:
$ 25\pi = \frac{1 \times R^2}{4} \times \frac{\pi}{4} $
Solving for $ R $:
$ 25\pi = \frac{\pi R^2}{16} $
$ R^2 = \frac{25\pi \times 16}{\pi} = 400 $
$ R = 20 \, \text{m} $
The diameter of the disk is:
$ \text{Diameter} = 2R = 2 \times 20 = 40 \, \text{m} $
Explanation:
Moment of Inertia of the Full Disc:
The moment of inertia (M.I.) of the entire disc without any cavity is given by:
$ I_1 = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 $
Mass of the Removed Disc:
The mass of the removed disc, which is of radius $ \frac{R}{3} $, is calculated as:
$ \text{Mass of removed disc} = \left(\frac{M}{\pi R^2}\right) \times \left(\frac{R}{3}\right)^2 \pi = \frac{M}{9} $
Moment of Inertia of the Removed Disc:
The moment of inertia of the removed disc involves two parts: about its center and due to its position.
About its center:
$ \frac{\frac{M}{9} \left(\frac{R}{3}\right)^2}{2} = \frac{MR^2}{162} $
Due to its position (distance from O to the new center of the small disc):
The distance is $ \frac{2R}{3} $, so:
$ \frac{M}{9} \times \left(\frac{2R}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4MR^2}{81} $
Total M.I. of removed disc:
$ I_2 = \frac{MR^2}{162} + \frac{4MR^2}{81} = \frac{MR^2}{18} $
Moment of Inertia of the Remaining Part:
Subtract the moment of inertia of the removed disc from the full disc:
$ I = I_1 - I_2 = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 - \frac{MR^2}{18} = \frac{9MR^2 - MR^2}{18} = \frac{8MR^2}{18} = \frac{4MR^2}{9} $
Thus, the value of $x$ is $9$.
$\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and C are disc, solid sphere and spherical shell respectively with same radii and masses. These masses are placed as shown in figure.

The moment of inertia of the given system about PQ axis is $\frac{x}{15} \mathrm{I}$, where I is the moment of inertia of the disc about its diameter. The value of $x$ is ____________.
Explanation:

All bodies have same mass and same radius.
A $\rightarrow$ Disc
B $\rightarrow$ Solid sphere
$\mathrm{C} \rightarrow$ Spherical shell
$\begin{aligned} & \text { and, } \mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{4} \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{PQ}} & =\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{4}+\left(\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2+\mathrm{MR}^2\right)+\left(\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{MR}^2+\mathrm{MR}^2\right) \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{PQ}} & =\frac{15 \mathrm{MR}^2+24 \mathrm{MR}^2+60 \mathrm{MR}^2+40 \mathrm{MR}^2+60 \mathrm{MR}^2}{60} \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{PQ}} & =\frac{199}{60} \mathrm{MR}^2=\frac{199}{15}\left(\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{4}\right) \\ & =\frac{199}{15} \mathrm{I} \end{aligned}$
A solid sphere with uniform density and radius $R$ is rotating initially with constant angular velocity $\left(\omega_1\right)$ about its diameter. After some time during the rotation its starts loosing mass at a uniform rate, with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius become $\mathrm{R} / 2$ is $x \omega_1$. The value of $x$ is _________.
Explanation:
When sphere is of radius $R$, its mass is $M$, when radius is reduced to $\frac{R}{2}$, mass will reduced to $\frac{M}{8}$
Now by conservation of angular momentum
$\begin{aligned} & \left(\tau_{\mathrm{ext}}=0\right) \\ & \mathrm{L}_1=\mathrm{L}_2 \\ & \mathrm{I}_1 \omega_1=\mathrm{I}_2 \omega_2 \\ & \left(\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2\right) \omega_1=\left(\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{\mathrm{M}}{8}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)^2\right) \omega_2 \end{aligned}$
$\omega_2=32 \omega_1 \quad$ value of x is 32
Answer is 32
A circular ring and a solid sphere having same radius roll down on an inclined plane from rest without slipping. The ratio of their velocities when reached at the bottom of the plane is $\sqrt{\frac{x}{5}}$ where $x=$ ________.
Explanation:
To determine the ratio of velocities for a circular ring and a solid sphere rolling down an inclined plane without slipping, we apply the principle of mechanical energy conservation:
Conservation of Mechanical Energy:
$ k_i + U_i = k_f + U_f $
Initially (at the top), we have:
Initial kinetic energy, $k_i = 0$ (since they start from rest)
Initial potential energy, $U_i = Mgh$
Finally (at the bottom), we have:
Final potential energy, $U_f = 0$
Final kinetic energy, $k_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\left(1 + \frac{k^2}{R^2}\right)$
This gives:
$ Mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\left(1 + \frac{k^2}{R^2}\right) $
Solving for the velocity $V$:
$ V = \sqrt{\frac{2gh}{1 + \frac{k^2}{R^2}}} $
Ratio of Velocities:
For the circular ring (moment of inertia $I = mR^2$), $\frac{k^2}{R^2} = 1$.
For the solid sphere (moment of inertia $I = \frac{2}{5}mR^2$), $\frac{k^2}{R^2} = \frac{2}{5}$.
The ratio is:
$ \frac{V_{\text{Ring}}}{V_{\text{Solid Sphere}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{2}{5}}{1 + 1}} = \sqrt{\frac{7}{10}} $
Thus, $x = 3.5$. Rounding off, $x = 4$.

A wheel of radius 0.2 m rotates freely about its center when a string that is wrapped over its rim is pulled by force of 10 N as shown in figure. The established torque produces an angular acceleration of $2 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2$. Moment of intertia of the wheel is___________ $\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{}\,\, \mathrm{m}^2$. (Acceleration due to gravity $=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
Explanation:

Step 1: Use the Torque Formula
The force pulls the rim and creates a turning effect called torque. The formula for torque is: torque = force × radius (F × R).
Step 2: Relate Torque to Angular Acceleration
Torque is also described as: torque = moment of inertia × angular acceleration (I × α).
Step 3: Set Up the Equation
Set the two expressions for torque equal. So, $ F \times R = I \times \alpha $.
Step 4: Solve for Moment of Inertia $ I $
$ I = \frac{F \times R}{\alpha} $
Step 5: Substitute the Values
Here, the force $ F = 10\,\mathrm{N} $, the radius $ R = 0.2\,\mathrm{m} $, and the angular acceleration $ \alpha = 2\,\mathrm{rad/s}^2 $.
Step 6: Calculate
$ I = \frac{10 \times 0.2}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1\,\mathrm{kg\,m}^2 $
So, the moment of inertia of the wheel is $ 1\,\mathrm{kg\,m}^2 $.
The coordinates of a particle with respect to origin in a given reference frame is (1, 1, 1) meters. If a force of $\vec{F} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ acts on the particle, then the magnitude of torque (with respect to origin) in z-direction is __________.
Explanation:
The torque $\vec{\tau}$ acting on the particle with respect to the origin can be calculated using the cross product of the position vector $\vec{r}$ and the force vector $\vec{F}$:
$ \vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F} $
Given the position vector $\vec{r} = (1, 1, 1) \, \text{m}$ and the force vector $\vec{F} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$, we need to calculate the cross product:
$ \vec{\tau} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} $
Calculating the determinant, we have:
$ \vec{\tau} = \hat{i} \left(1 \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot (-1)\right) - \hat{j} \left(1 \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot 1\right) + \hat{k} \left(1 \cdot (-1) - 1 \cdot 1\right) $
This simplifies to:
$ \vec{\tau} = \hat{i}(1 + 1) - \hat{j}(1 - 1) + \hat{k}(-1 - 1) $
$ \vec{\tau} = 2\hat{i} - 0\hat{j} - 2\hat{k} $
The torque vector is $\vec{\tau} = 2\hat{i} - 2\hat{k}$.
To find the magnitude of the torque in the z-direction, we look at the $\hat{k}$ component:
$ \tau_z = -2 $
The magnitude of torque in the z-direction is:
$ |\tau_z| = 2 \, \text{Nm} $
Thus, the magnitude of the torque in the z-direction is 2 Newton-meters.
Two iron solid discs of negligible thickness have radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ and moment of intertia $I_1$ and $I_2$, respectively. For $R_2=2 R_1$, the ratio of $I_1$ and $I_2$ would be $1 / x$, where $\mathrm{x}=$ _______ .
Explanation:

Let surface mass density = $\sigma$
So, ${M_1} = \sigma \times \pi R_1^2$
${M_2} = \sigma \times \pi R_2^2 = \sigma \pi {(2{R_1})^2}$ (As ${R_2} = 2{R_1}$
$ = 4\sigma \pi R_1^2$
$ \Rightarrow {M_2} = 4{M_1}$
${{{I_1}} \over {{I_2}}} = {{{{{M_1}R_1^2} \over 2}} \over {{{{M_2}R_2^2} \over 2}}} = \left( {{{{M_1}} \over {{M_2}}}} \right){\left( {{{{R_1}} \over {{R_2}}}} \right)^2}$
$ \Rightarrow {{{I_1}} \over {{I_2}}} = \left( {{{{M_1}} \over {4{M_1}}}} \right){\left( {{{{R_1}} \over {2{R_1}}}} \right)^2} = {1 \over 4} \times {1 \over 4} = {1 \over {16}} = {1 \over x}$
Hence, $x = 16$
The moment of inertia of a solid disc rotating along its diameter is 2.5 times higher than the moment of inertia of a ring rotating in similar way. The moment of inertia of a solid sphere which has same radius as the disc and rotating in similar way, is $n$ times higher than the moment of inertia of the given ring. Here, $\mathrm{n}=$ ________ Consider all the bodies have equal masses.
Explanation:

Given, ${I_1} = 2.5{I_2}$ and ${I_3} = n{I_2}$
we know, ${I_1} = {{MR_1^2} \over 4},{I_2} = {{MR_2^2} \over 2},{I_3} = {2 \over 5}MR_3^2$
$ \Rightarrow {{MR_1^2} \over 4} = 2.5{{MR_2^2} \over 2} \Rightarrow R_1^2 = 5R_2^2$
Now, ${I_3} = n{I_2}$
$ \Rightarrow {2 \over 5}MR_1^2 = n{{MR_2^2} \over 2}$ (As ${R_3} = {R_1}$)
$ \Rightarrow {2 \over 5} \times 5R_2^2 = {{nR_2^2} \over 2} \Rightarrow n = 4$
The position vectors of two 1 kg particles, (A) and (B), are given by $ \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{A}}=\left(\alpha_1 \mathrm{t}^2 \hat{i}+\alpha_2 \mathrm{t} \hat{j}+\alpha_3 \mathrm{t} \hat{k}\right) \mathrm{m} \text { and } \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{B}}=\left(\beta_1 \hat{\mathrm{t}} \hat{i}+\beta_2 \mathrm{t}^2 \hat{j}+\beta_3 \mathrm{t} \hat{k}\right) \mathrm{m} \text {, respectively; } $ $\left(\alpha_1=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2, \alpha_2=3 \mathrm{n} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}, \alpha_3=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, \beta_1=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, \beta_2=-1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2, \beta_3=4 \mathrm{pm} / \mathrm{s}\right)$, where t is time, n and $p$ are constants. At $t=1 \mathrm{~s},\left|\overrightarrow{V_A}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{V_B}\right|$ and velocities $\vec{V}_A$ and $\vec{V}_B$ of the particles are orthogonal to each other. At $t=1 \mathrm{~s}$, the magnitude of angular momentum of particle (A) with respect to the position of particle (B) is $\sqrt{\mathrm{L}} \mathrm{kgm}^2 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. The value of L is _________.
Explanation:
Given, ${m_A} = 1\,kg = {m_B}$
$\overrightarrow {{r_A}} = ({\alpha _1}{t^2}\widehat i + {\alpha _2}t\widehat j + {\alpha _3}t\widehat k)\,m$
$\overrightarrow {{r_B}} = ({\beta _1}t\widehat i + {\beta _2}{t^2}\widehat j + {\beta _3}t\widehat k)\,m$
$({\alpha _1} = 1\,m/{s^2},{\alpha _2} = 3n\,m/s,{\alpha _3} = 2\,m/s$
${\beta _1} = 2\,m/s,{\beta _2} = - 1\,m/{s^2},{\beta _3} = 4p\,m/s)$
$\overrightarrow {{V_A}} = {{d\overrightarrow {{r_A}} } \over {dt}} = 2t\widehat i + 3n\widehat j + 2\widehat k$
$\overrightarrow {{V_B}} = {{d\overrightarrow {{r_B}} } \over {dt}} = 2\widehat i - 2t\widehat j + 4p\widehat k$
$\overrightarrow {{V_B}} \,.\,\overrightarrow {{V_B}} = 0$ (As $\overrightarrow {{V_A}} \bot \overrightarrow {{V_B}} $ given)
$ \Rightarrow 4t - 6nt + 8p = 0$
At $t = 1$, $4 - 6n + 8p = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 2 - 3n + 4p = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 3n = 2 + 4p$ ..... (1)
given, $\left| {\overrightarrow {{V_A}} } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow {{V_B}} } \right|$
$ \Rightarrow 4 + 9{n^2} + 4 = 4 + 4 + 16{p^2}$
$ \Rightarrow {(2 + 4p)^2} = 16{p^2}$ (from (1)
$ \Rightarrow 4 + 16{p^2} + 16p = 16{p^2}$
$ \Rightarrow p = - {1 \over 4}$
$ \Rightarrow 3n = 2 + 4\left( { - {1 \over 4}} \right) = 1 \Rightarrow n = {1 \over 3}$
Now, $\overrightarrow L = {m_A}\left( {{{\overrightarrow r }_{A/B}} \times {{\overrightarrow v }_A}} \right)$
at $t = 1\,\sec ,$
$\overrightarrow {{r_{{A \over B}}}} = \left( {{\alpha _1} - {\beta _1}} \right)\widehat i + \left( {{\alpha _2} - {\beta _2}} \right)\widehat j + \left( {{\alpha _3} - {\beta _3}} \right)\widehat k$
$ \Rightarrow \overrightarrow {{r_{{A \over B}}}} = (1 - 2)\widehat i + (3n + 1)\widehat j + (2 - 4p)\widehat k$
$ = - \widehat i + 2\widehat j + 3\widehat k$
$\overrightarrow L = \left| {\matrix{ {\widehat i} & {\widehat j} & {\widehat k} \cr { - 1} & 2 & 3 \cr 2 & 1 & 2 \cr } } \right|$
$ = \widehat i(4 - 3) - \widehat j( - 2 - 6) + \widehat k( - 1 - 4)$
$\overrightarrow L = \widehat i + 8\widehat j - 5\widehat k$
$ \Rightarrow \left| {\overrightarrow L } \right| = \sqrt {{1^2} + {8^2} + {{( - 5)}^2}} = \sqrt {1 + 64 + 25} $
$ \Rightarrow \left| {\overrightarrow L } \right| = \sqrt {90} $ kg m$^2$ s$^{-1}$ = $\sqrt L$ (given)
So, L = 90
A circular disc reaches from top to bottom of an inclined plane of length $l$. When it slips down the plane, if takes $t \mathrm{~s}$. When it rolls down the plane then it takes $\left(\frac{\alpha}{2}\right)^{1 / 2} t \mathrm{~s}$, where $\alpha$ is _________.
Explanation:
To find the value of $ \alpha $ from the given problem, we need to analyze the motion of a circular disc moving down an inclined plane in two different modes: slipping and rolling.
Slipping:
When the disc slips without rolling, it is primarily subjected to kinetic friction and gravity, without any rolling friction or torque affecting rotational motion. The motion can be considered as purely translational.
- Equation for Time in Slipping Mode:
The acceleration $ a $ of the disc while slipping is given by:
$a = g \sin \theta$
where $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity and $ \theta $ is the angle of the inclined plane.
The time $ t $ to travel down the incline of length $ l $ with this acceleration from rest is:
$l = \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \Rightarrow t = \sqrt{\frac{2l}{a}} = \sqrt{\frac{2l}{g \sin \theta}}$
Rolling:
When the disc rolls, both translational and rotational motions are involved, and the rolling motion means that there is a rotational inertia factor that affects the acceleration.
- Equation for Time in Rolling Mode:
For a solid disc, the moment of inertia $ I $ is $ \frac{1}{2} MR^2 $, where $ M $ is the mass and $ R $ is the radius of the disc. The acceleration $ a $ when rolling down without slipping is reduced due to the rotational inertia:
$a = \frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{I}{MR^2}} = \frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{1}{2}} = \frac{2g \sin \theta}{3}$
The time to travel the same distance $ l $ is:
$t_{\text{roll}} = \sqrt{\frac{2l}{a_{\text{roll}}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2l}{\frac{2g \sin \theta}{3}}} = \sqrt{\frac{3l}{g \sin \theta}}$
Compare Times:
Given in the problem is the relation:
$t_{\text{roll}} = \left(\frac{\alpha}{2}\right)^{1/2} t$
From the derived formulas:
$\sqrt{\frac{3l}{g \sin \theta}} = \left(\frac{\alpha}{2}\right)^{1/2} \sqrt{\frac{2l}{g \sin \theta}}$
Solving for $ \alpha $:
$\sqrt{3} = \left(\frac{\alpha}{2}\right)^{1/2} \sqrt{2}$
$3 = \frac{\alpha}{2} \times 2$
$3 = \alpha$
Conclusion:
Thus, $ \alpha $ is 3.
A string is wrapped around the rim of a wheel of moment of inertia $0.40 \mathrm{~kgm}^2$ and radius $10 \mathrm{~cm}$. The wheel is free to rotate about its axis. Initially the wheel is at rest. The string is now pulled by a force of $40 \mathrm{~N}$. The angular velocity of the wheel after $10 \mathrm{~s}$ is $x \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}$, where $x$ is __________.
Explanation:
To find the angular velocity ($\omega$) of the wheel after $10$ seconds, we first need to understand the relationship between the force applied through the string, the torque produced by this force, and how this torque affects the wheel's angular acceleration ($\alpha$).
The torque ($\tau$) produced by the force ($F$) is given by the product of the force and the radius ($r$) of the wheel through which the force is applied:
$\tau = F \cdot r$
Given that $F = 40 \, \mathrm{N}$ and $r = 10 \, \mathrm{cm} = 0.1 \, \mathrm{m}$, the torque can be calculated as:
$\tau = 40 \cdot 0.1 = 4 \, \mathrm{Nm}$
The torque is related to the angular acceleration ($\alpha$) and the moment of inertia ($I$) of the wheel by the equation:
$\tau = I \cdot \alpha$
Given that $I = 0.40 \, \mathrm{kg \cdot m}^2$, we can rearrange the above formula to solve for $\alpha$:
$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} = \frac{4}{0.40} = 10 \, \mathrm{rad/s}^2$
With the angular acceleration ($\alpha$), we can calculate the angular velocity ($\omega$) after a given time ($t$) using the formula:
$\omega = \omega_0 + \alpha \cdot t$
Where $\omega_0$ is the initial angular velocity. Since the wheel starts from rest, $\omega_0 = 0$. Thus, for $t = 10 \, \mathrm{s}$:
$\omega = 0 + 10 \cdot 10 = 100 \, \mathrm{rad/s}$
Therefore, the angular velocity ($\omega$) of the wheel after $10$ seconds is $100 \, \mathrm{rad/s}$, so $x = 100$.
A circular table is rotating with an angular velocity of $\omega \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}$ about its axis (see figure). There is a smooth groove along a radial direction on the table. A steel ball is gently placed at a distance of $1 \mathrm{~m}$ on the groove. All the surfaces are smooth. If the radius of the table is $3 \mathrm{~m}$, the radial velocity of the ball w.r.t. the table at the time ball leaves the table is $x \sqrt{2} \omega \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, where the value of $x$ is _________.

Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & m v_r \frac{d v_r}{d r}=m \omega^2 r \\ & \frac{v_v^2}{2}=\frac{\omega^2\left(r^2-1\right)}{2} \\ & v_r=\omega \sqrt{8}=2 \omega \sqrt{2} \end{aligned}$
Three balls of masses $2 \mathrm{~kg}, 4 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $6 \mathrm{~kg}$ respectively are arranged at centre of the edges of an equilateral triangle of side $2 \mathrm{~m}$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis through the centroid and perpendicular to the plane of triangle, will be ________ $\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$.
Explanation:
Moment of inertia about c and perpendicular to the
plane is :
$\begin{aligned} & I=2 \times\left(\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{3}}\right)^2+4 \times\left(\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{3}}\right)^2+6\left(\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{3}}\right)^2 \\\\ & I=4 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2 \end{aligned}$
Distance between centroid and midpoint of sides
$=\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{3}}$
A hollow sphere is rolling on a plane surface about its axis of symmetry. The ratio of rotational kinetic energy to its total kinetic energy is $\frac{x}{5}$. The value of $x$ is _________.
Explanation:
For a hollow sphere rolling on a plane surface without slipping, its total kinetic energy (K.E.) is the sum of its translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy. The translational kinetic energy results from the motion of the center of mass of the sphere, and the rotational kinetic energy is due to its rotation about an axis through its center of mass (in this case, the axis of symmetry).
The translational kinetic energy (TKE) can be expressed as:
$\text{TKE} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
Where:
- m is the mass of the sphere,
- v is the linear velocity of the center of mass.
The rotational kinetic energy (RKE) for a rolling object can be given by:
$\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$
For a hollow sphere, the moment of inertia (I) about its axis of symmetry is:
$I = \frac{2}{3}mr^2$
where r is the radius of the sphere. The angular velocity, $\omega$, can be related to the linear velocity, v, by the relation $v = r\omega$, for an object rolling without slipping. We substitute $\omega = \frac{v}{r}$ into the expression for RKE:
$\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3}mr^2 \cdot \left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2$
This simplifies to:
$\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{3}mv^2$
The total kinetic energy (Total K.E.) of the rolling hollow sphere is the sum of its translational and rotational kinetic energies:
$\text{Total K.E.} = \text{TKE} + \text{RKE} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{3}mv^2 = \frac{5}{6}mv^2$
Now, we want to find the ratio of the rotational kinetic energy to the total kinetic energy:
$\frac{\text{RKE}}{\text{Total K.E.}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}mv^2}{\frac{5}{6}mv^2}$
Since the mass and velocity are common in both the numerator and the denominator, they will cancel out, leaving:
$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{5}{6}} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{6}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$
Therefore, the value of $x$, representing the ratio of the rotational kinetic energy to the total kinetic energy for a hollow sphere rolling on a plane surface about its axis of symmetry, is $2$. Thus, $x = 2$.
A solid sphere and a hollow cylinder roll up without slipping on same inclined plane with same initial speed $v$. The sphere and the cylinder reaches upto maximum heights $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively, above the initial level. The ratio $h_1: h_2$ is $\frac{n}{10}$. The value of $n$ is __________.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we first note that for both the solid sphere and the hollow cylinder, the total mechanical energy is conserved as they roll up the inclined plane without slipping. The initial kinetic energy (comprised of both translational and rotational kinetic energy) is converted into potential energy at the maximum height.
Kinetic Energy for Each Body at the Start:
For the solid sphere, the moment of inertia $I$ is given by $I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2$, where $m$ is mass and $r$ is the radius of the sphere. The kinetic energy is the sum of translational kinetic energy $\left(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\right)$ and rotational kinetic energy $\left(\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2\right)$, where $\omega$ is the angular velocity. Since the sphere rolls without slipping, $v = r\omega$.
The total initial kinetic energy for the solid sphere is:
$KE_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5}mr^2\right)\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{5}mv^2 = \frac{7}{10}mv^2$
For the hollow cylinder, the moment of inertia $I$ is $mr^2$. Thus, its total kinetic energy is:
$KE_{\text{cylinder}} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mr^2\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mv^2$
Potential Energy at Maximum Height:
For both bodies, the potential energy at the maximum height is given by $PE = mgh$, where $h$ is the height reached.
Applying Conservation of Energy:
For the solid sphere, the energy conservation equation is:
$\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgh_1$
Solving for $h_1$ gives:
$h_1 = \frac{7v^2}{10g}$
For the hollow cylinder, the conservation of energy gives:
$mv^2 = mgh_2$
Thus, $h_2 = \frac{v^2}{g}$.
Finding the Ratio $h_1:h_2$:
The ratio of $h_1$ to $h_2$ is:
$\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{\frac{7v^2}{10g}}{\frac{v^2}{g}} = \frac{7}{10}$
Therefore, the value of $n$, which represents the numerator in the ratio $\frac{n}{10}$, is $7$. Thus, the ratio of maximum heights $h_1:h_2$ reached by the solid sphere and the hollow cylinder, respectively, is $\frac{7}{10}$.

Two discs of moment of inertia $I_1=4 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$ and $I_2=2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$, about their central axes & normal to their planes, rotating with angular speeds $10 \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}$ & $4 \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}$ respectively are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. The loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process is _________ J.
Explanation:
To find the loss in kinetic energy when two spinning discs are brought together, we use the principle of conservation of angular momentum and the formula for kinetic energy. Here's how:
First, because angular momentum before and after they touch must be the same, we have:
$I_1 \omega_1 + I_2 \omega_2 = (I_1 + I_2) \omega_0$
where:
- $I_1$ and $I_2$ are the moments of inertia for the two discs.
- $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are their angular speeds before contact.
- $\omega_0$ is their common angular speed after contact.
Plugging in the given values, we find that:
$\omega_0 = 8 \mathrm{rad/s}$
Next, to calculate the loss in kinetic energy, we first find the total kinetic energy before and after they touch:
Before: $E_1 = \frac{1}{2} I_1 \omega_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} I_2 \omega_2^2 = 216 \,\mathrm{J}$
After: $E_2 = \frac{1}{2}(I_1 + I_2) \omega_0^2 = 192 \,\mathrm{J}$
The loss in kinetic energy ($\Delta E$) is the difference:
$\Delta E = E_1 - E_2 = 24 \,\mathrm{J}$
So, when the two discs are brought together, the system loses 24 J of kinetic energy.

Consider a Disc of mass $5 \mathrm{~kg}$, radius $2 \mathrm{~m}$, rotating with angular velocity of $10 \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}$ about an axis perpendicular to the plane of rotation. An identical disc is kept gently over the rotating disc along the same axis. The energy dissipated so that both the discs continue to rotate together without slipping is ________ J.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \vec{L}_i=I \omega_i=\frac{M R^2}{2} \cdot \omega=100 \mathrm{~kgm}^2 / \mathrm{s} \\ & E_i=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{M R^2}{2} \cdot \omega^2=500 \mathrm{~J} \\ & \vec{L}_i=\vec{L}_f \Rightarrow 100=2 I \omega_f \\ & \omega_f=5 \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{sec} \\ & E_f=2 \times \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{5(2)^2}{2} \cdot(5)^2=250 \mathrm{~J} \\ & \Delta E=250 \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned}$

A cylinder is rolling down on an inclined plane of inclination $60^{\circ}$. It's acceleration during rolling down will be $\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}} m / s^2$, where $x=$ ________ (use $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$).
Explanation:
To determine the acceleration of a cylinder rolling down an inclined plane without slipping, we can use Newton's second law and the concept of rolling motion. For an inclined plane at an angle $ \theta $, the component of gravitational acceleration along the plane is $ g \sin \theta $. However, because the cylinder is rolling and not sliding, not all of this component accelerates the center of mass; some of it goes into causing rotational acceleration about the center of mass.
For a rolling cylinder, the moment of inertia $ I $ is $ I = \frac{1}{2} m r^2 $, where $ m $ is the mass of the cylinder and $ r $ is the radius. The condition for rolling without slipping is that the linear acceleration $ a $ of the center of mass is equal to the radius $ r $ times the angular acceleration $ \alpha $, i.e., $ a = r \alpha $.
To find the linear acceleration $ a $, we use the torque $ \tau $ about the center of mass caused by the gravitational force down the incline. The torque due to gravity is $ \tau = mg \sin \theta \cdot r $, and from Newton's second law for rotation, the angular acceleration is given by
$ \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} = \frac{mg \sin \theta \cdot r}{\frac{1}{2} m r^2} = \frac{2g \sin \theta}{r} $Now using $ a = r \alpha $:
$ a = r \left( \frac{2g \sin \theta}{r} \right) = 2g \sin \theta $But we must account for the fact that only a portion of the gravitational acceleration goes into translating the cylinder down the plane due to the rolling condition. This is where we apply the concept of the ``rolling factor'' for a cylinder, which is $ \frac{2}{3} $ for a solid cylinder, meaning $ \frac{2}{3} $ of the gravitational component is used for translation.
The acceleration of the center of mass for the cylinder is therefore:
$ a = \frac{2}{3} g \sin \theta $Now we plug in the values of $ \theta = 60^{\circ} $ (which has $ \sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $) and $ g = 10 \; m/s^2 $:
$ a = \frac{2}{3} \cdot 10 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{10 \sqrt{3}}{3} $To match the given expression $ \frac{x}{\sqrt{3}} m / s^2 $, let's manipulate our expression for $ a $:
$ a = \frac{10 \sqrt{3}}{3} = \frac{10 \sqrt{3}}{3} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{10 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot \sqrt{3}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} m/s^2 $Hence, the value of $ x $ is $ 10 $.
A ring and a solid sphere roll down the same inclined plane without slipping. They start from rest. The radii of both bodies are identical and the ratio of their kinetic energies is $\frac{7}{x}$, where $x$ is _________.
Explanation:
$\therefore$ Ratio of kinetic energies $=1$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{7}{x}=1 \Rightarrow x=7 $

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{ma}^2+\mathrm{ma}^2+\mathrm{m}(\sqrt{2 \mathrm{a}})^2 \\ & =4 \mathrm{ma}^2 \\ & =4 \times 1 \times(2)^2=16 \end{aligned}$
Explanation:
$I_{sph} = \frac{2}{5}MR^2$
$I_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$
The radius of gyration $k$ is related to the moment of inertia $I$ by the formula $I = Mk^2$. Therefore, we can find the radius of gyration for both the solid sphere and the solid cylinder using their respective moments of inertia:
$k_{sph}^2 = \frac{I_{sph}}{M} = \frac{2}{5}R^2$
$k_{cyl}^2 = \frac{I_{cyl}}{M} = \frac{1}{2}R^2$
Now, let's find the ratio of their radius of gyrations:
$\frac{k_{sph}}{k_{cyl}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{x}}$
Squaring both sides:
$\frac{k_{sph}^2}{k_{cyl}^2} = \frac{4}{x}$
Substituting the expressions for $k_{sph}^2$ and $k_{cyl}^2$:
$\frac{\frac{2}{5}R^2}{\frac{1}{2}R^2} = \frac{4}{x}$
Simplifying and solving for $x$:
$\frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{2}{1} = \frac{4}{x}$
$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{4}{x}$
Thus, $x = 5$.
A light rope is wound around a hollow cylinder of mass 5 kg and radius 70 cm. The rope is pulled with a force of 52.5 N. The angular acceleration of the cylinder will be _________ rad s$^{-2}$.
Explanation:
$F=T=52.5~\mathrm{N}$
The force causes the cylinder to accelerate with an angular acceleration $\alpha$, which is related to its linear acceleration $a$ and the radius of the cylinder $R$ by the equation:
$\alpha=\frac{a}{R}$
The linear acceleration $a$ of the cylinder can be found using the formula $F=ma$:
$ma=F=52.5~\mathrm{N}$
where $m=5~\mathrm{kg}$ is the mass of the cylinder. Solving for $a$, we get:
$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{52.5~\mathrm{N}}{5~\mathrm{kg}}=10.5~\mathrm{m/s^2}$
Substituting this value of $a$ into the equation for $\alpha$, we get:
$\alpha=\frac{a}{R}=\frac{10.5~\mathrm{m/s^2}}{0.7~\mathrm{m}}=\boxed{15~\mathrm{rad/s^2}}$
Therefore, the angular acceleration of the cylinder is $15~\mathrm{rad/s^2}$.
Alternate Method:
Let's first draw a free body diagram of the cylinder. The force $F$ applied to the rope creates a tension in the rope, which in turn exerts a force on the cylinder in the opposite direction. This force is given by:
$T=F$
where $T$ is the tension in the rope. The cylinder also experiences a torque due to the tension in the rope, which causes it to rotate. The torque is given by:
$\tau=TR$
where $R$ is the radius of the cylinder.
The net torque on the cylinder is equal to the product of the moment of inertia $I$ of the cylinder and its angular acceleration $\alpha$:
$\tau=I\alpha$
The moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder about its geometrical axis which is parallel to its length is given by:
$I=MR^2$
where $M$ is the mass of the cylinder.
Substituting the given values, we get:
$\tau=TR=I\alpha=MR^2\alpha$
Solving for $\alpha$, we get:
$\alpha=\frac{T}{MR}=\frac{F}{MR}=\frac{52.5~\mathrm{N}}{5~\mathrm{kg}\cdot0.7~\mathrm{m}}=\boxed{15~\mathrm{rad/s^2}}$
Therefore, the angular acceleration of the cylinder is $15~\mathrm{rad/s^2}$.
A solid sphere is rolling on a horizontal plane without slipping. If the ratio of angular momentum about axis of rotation of the sphere to the total energy of moving sphere is $\pi: 22$ then, the value of its angular speed will be ____________ $\mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$.
Explanation:
Angular momentum $L = \left(I_{\text{com}}\right)(\omega)$
Kinetic energy $K = \frac{1}{2}(I_{\text{com}})(\omega^2) + \frac{1}{2}MV_{\text{com}}^2$
For a solid sphere, the moment of inertia is $I_{\text{com}} = \frac{2}{5}MR^2$, and the relationship between linear and angular velocity is $V_{\text{com}} = R\omega$.
Substituting these values into the expressions for $L$ and $K$:
$L = \frac{2}{5}MR^2 \frac{V_{\text{com}}}{R} = \frac{2MRV_{\text{com}}}{5}$
$K = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5}MR^2\right) \frac{V_{\text{com}}^2}{R^2} + \frac{1}{2}MV_{\text{com}}^2 = \frac{7}{10}MV_{\text{com}}^2$
Now, the given ratio of $\frac{L}{K}$ is $\frac{\pi}{22}$:
$\frac{L}{K} = \frac{4}{7} \frac{R}{V_{\text{com}}} = \frac{\pi}{22}$
Since $V_{\text{com}} = R\omega$, we can substitute this relationship into the equation and solve for $\omega$:
$\frac{4}{7} \frac{R}{R\omega} = \frac{\pi}{22}$
$\frac{4}{7\omega} = \frac{\pi}{22}$
$\omega = \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{22}{\pi} \times 7 = 4$
Thus, the value of the angular speed is $4 \ \text{rad/s}$.
For a rolling spherical shell, the ratio of rotational kinetic energy and total kinetic energy is $\frac{x}{5}$. The value of $x$ is ___________.
Explanation:
$K_{total} = K_{trans} + K_{rot}$
The translational kinetic energy of an object with mass (m) and linear velocity (v) is given by:
$K_{trans} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
The rotational kinetic energy of a rolling spherical shell with moment of inertia (I) and angular velocity (ω) is given by:
$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}Iω^2$
For a rolling object without slipping, the relationship between linear velocity (v) and angular velocity (ω) is:
$v = Rω$
Where R is the radius of the spherical shell.
The moment of inertia for a spherical shell is given by:
$I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$
Now, we can substitute the moment of inertia and the relationship between linear and angular velocity into the equation for rotational kinetic energy:
$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{3}mR^2\right)\left(\frac{v}{R}\right)^2$
Simplifying the equation:
$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{3}mR^2\right)\frac{v^2}{R^2}$
$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{3}mv^2$
Now, we can find the ratio of rotational kinetic energy to total kinetic energy:
$\frac{K_{rot}}{K_{total}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}mv^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{3}mv^2}$
Simplifying the equation:
$\frac{K_{rot}}{K_{total}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{5}{6}}$
Multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 6:
$\frac{K_{rot}}{K_{total}} = \frac{2}{5}$
Comparing this to the given ratio of $\frac{x}{5}$, we can determine that the value of $x$ is 2.
A circular plate is rotating in horizontal plane, about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to the plate, with an angular velocity $\omega$. A person sits at the center having two dumbbells in his hands. When he stretches out his hands, the moment of inertia of the system becomes triple. If E be the initial Kinetic energy of the system, then final Kinetic energy will be $\frac{E}{x}$. The value of $x$ is
Explanation:
$ \mathrm{KE}=\frac{\mathrm{L}^2}{2 \mathrm{I}} $
Using this relation, we can find the ratio of the final kinetic energy ($\mathrm{KE}_{\text{final}}$) to the initial kinetic energy ($\mathrm{KE}_{\text{initial}}$ or E):
$ \frac{\mathrm{KE}_{\text{final}}}{\mathrm{KE}_{\text{initial}}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\text{initial}}}{\mathrm{I}_{\text{final}}} $
Since the moment of inertia triples, we have $\mathrm{I}_{\text{final}} = 3\mathrm{I}_{\text{initial}}$. Therefore,
$ \frac{\mathrm{KE}_{\text{final}}}{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\text{initial}}}{3\mathrm{I}_{\text{initial}}}=\frac{1}{3} $
This means that the final kinetic energy of the system is:
$ \mathrm{KE}_{\text{final}}=\frac{E}{3} $
So, the value of $x$ is 3.
A solid sphere of mass $500 \mathrm{~g}$ and radius $5 \mathrm{~cm}$ is rotated about one of its diameter with angular speed of $10 ~\mathrm{rad} ~\mathrm{s}^{-1}$. If the moment of inertia of the sphere about its tangent is $x \times 10^{-2}$ times its angular momentum about the diameter. Then the value of $x$ will be ___________.
Explanation:
A force of $-\mathrm{P} \hat{\mathrm{k}}$ acts on the origin of the coordinate system. The torque about the point $(2,-3)$ is $\mathrm{P}(a \hat{i}+b \hat{j})$, The ratio of $\frac{a}{b}$ is $\frac{x}{2}$. The value of $x$ is -
Explanation:
Let the point where the force acts be A, the origin of the coordinate system (0, 0, 0), and let the point about which the torque is calculated be B (2, -3, 0). The force vector is given by $\vec{F} = -P\hat{k}$.
To find the torque, we first find the position vector of point A with respect to point B:
$\vec{r}_{AB} = \vec{r}_A - \vec{r}_B = (0 - 2)\hat{i} + (0 - (-3))\hat{j} + (0 - 0)\hat{k} = -2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}$
To calculate the cross product, we can use the determinant method with a 3x3 matrix:$\vec{\tau} = \vec{r}_{AB} \times \vec{F} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ -2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -P \\ \end{vmatrix}$
Now, we will calculate the cross product components by expanding the determinant along the first row:
1. $\tau_i = \hat{i} \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 0 \\ 0 & -P \\ \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}((3)(-P) - (0)(0)) = -3P\hat{i}$
2. $\tau_j = -\hat{j} \begin{vmatrix} -2 & 0 \\ 0 & -P \\ \end{vmatrix} = -\hat{j}((-2)(-P) - (0)(0)) = -2P\hat{j}$
(Notice the negative sign in front of the $\hat{j}$ term, as it comes from the expansion of the determinant.)
3. $\tau_k = \hat{k} \begin{vmatrix} -2 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 \\ \end{vmatrix} = \hat{k}((-2)(0) - (3)(0)) = 0\hat{k}$
Now, combine the components to get the torque vector:
$\vec{\tau} = -3P\hat{i} - 2P\hat{j} + 0\hat{k} = -3P\hat{i} - 2P\hat{j}$
Comparing this to the given torque vector $\vec{\tau} = P(a\hat{i} + b\hat{j})$, we find that:
$a = -3$
$b = -2$
Thus, the ratio $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{-3}{-2} = \frac{x}{2}$.
Therefore, $x = 3$.
A hollow spherical ball of uniform density rolls up a curved surface with an initial velocity $3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ (as shown in figure). Maximum height with respect to the initial position covered by it will be __________ cm.

Explanation:

Total initial kinetic energy
$ =\frac{1}{2} m \mathrm{v}^2+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2 $
$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{R} \omega$ (for pure rolling)
$ \mathrm{K} . E C=\frac{1}{2} m \mathrm{v}^2+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} m \mathrm{R}^2 \times \frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{\mathrm{R}^2}=\frac{5}{6} m \mathrm{v}^2 $
Energy remains conserve during whole journey.
$\mathrm{K}_{\cdot} \mathrm{E}_i+\mathrm{P.E}_{\cdot i}=\mathrm{K}_{\cdot} \mathrm{E}_f+\mathrm{P.E}_{\cdot f}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{5}{2} m \mathrm{v}^2=m g \mathrm{H} ~~~~~~~(\because {K.E.}_f=0)\\\\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{H}=\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{g} \\\\ & =\frac{5 \times(3)^2}{6 \times 10} \\\\ & =\frac{15}{20} \mathrm{~m}=0.75 \mathrm{~m}=75 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $
The moment of inertia of a semicircular ring about an axis, passing through the center and perpendicular to the plane of ring, is $\frac{1}{x} \mathrm{MR}^{2}$, where $\mathrm{R}$ is the radius and $M$ is the mass of the semicircular ring. The value of $x$ will be __________.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of moment of inertia. Moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to rotational motion. It depends on the mass distribution of the object and the axis of rotation.
For a continuous object like a semicircular ring, we can calculate the moment of inertia by integrating over the entire object. Here's how we can approach this problem:
1. Divide the semicircular ring into small mass elements: Imagine the semicircular ring divided into infinitesimally small mass elements, each with mass $dm$.
2. Calculate the moment of inertia of each element: The moment of inertia of each element about the axis passing through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is given by $dI = dmR^2$, where R is the radius of the ring.
3. Integrate to find the total moment of inertia: To find the total moment of inertia, we need to integrate $dI$ over the entire ring. This means integrating from $0$ to $\pi$ (the angle spanned by the semicircle) with respect to the angle $\theta$.
4. Relate $dm$ to the total mass: Since the ring has a uniform mass distribution, we can express the mass of each element $dm$ as a fraction of the total mass $M$: $dm = \frac{M}{Ï€R} Rd\theta = \frac{M}{\pi} d\theta$.
Now, let's perform the integration:
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi} dI = \int_{0}^{\pi} dmR^2 = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{M}{\pi} d\theta R^2$
$I = \frac{MR^2}{\pi} \int_{0}^{\pi} d\theta = \frac{MR^2}{\pi} [\theta]_{0}^{\pi}$
$I = \frac{MR^2}{\pi} [\pi - 0] = MR^2$
Therefore, the moment of inertia of the semicircular ring about the given axis is $MR^2$. Comparing this to the given formula, we find that $x = \boxed{1}$.
A ring and a solid sphere rotating about an axis passing through their centers have same radii of gyration. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to plane of ring. The ratio of radius of ring to that of sphere is $\sqrt{\frac{2}{x}}$. The value of $x$ is ___________.
Explanation:
Given that the radii of gyration for the ring and the solid sphere are equal, we have:
$ K_1 = K_2 $
For the ring, the moment of inertia is:
$ I_{ring} = mR_1^2 = mK_1^2 $
Thus, the radius of gyration for the ring is:
$ K_1 = R_1 $
For the solid sphere, the moment of inertia is:
$ I_{sphere} = \frac{2}{5}m'R_2^2 = m'K_2^2 $
Hence, the radius of gyration for the solid sphere is:
$ K_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}R_2 $
Since the radii of gyration are equal:
$ R_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}R_2 $
Therefore, the ratio of the radius of the ring to that of the sphere is:
$ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} $
So, the value of $x$ is:
$ x = 5 $
Two identical solid spheres each of mass $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ and radii $10 \mathrm{~cm}$ are fixed at the ends of a light rod. The separation between the centres of the spheres is $40 \mathrm{~cm}$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod passing through its middle point is __________ $\times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^{2}$
Explanation:
The problem requires calculating the moment of inertia of the system consisting of two identical solid spheres fixed at the ends of a light rod. We need to find the moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its midpoint.
First, let’s identify the moment of inertia of each solid sphere about its own center, which is given by the formula:
$I_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{2}{5} m r^2$
Where:
- $m$ is the mass of the sphere = $2 \mathrm{~kg}$
- $r$ is the radius of the sphere = $0.1 \mathrm{~m}$
Substituting the values:
$I_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{2}{5} \times 2 \mathrm{~kg} \times (0.1 \mathrm{~m})^2 = \frac{4}{5} \times 0.01 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2 = 0.008 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2$
Now, we need the moment of inertia of the two spheres about the axis passing through the midpoint of the rod. This requires using the parallel axis theorem, which states:
$I_{\text{total}} = I_{\text{sphere}} + m d^2$
Where:
- $d$ is the distance from the center of the sphere to the axis through the rod’s midpoint = $0.2 \mathrm{~m}$
Calculating the additional inertia due to the parallel axis theorem for one sphere:
$I_{\text{parallel}} = m d^2 = 2 \mathrm{~kg} \times (0.2 \mathrm{~m})^2 = 2 \mathrm{~kg} \times 0.04 \mathrm{~m}^2 = 0.08 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2$
The total moment of inertia for one sphere about the midpoint of the rod is:
$I_{\text{one sphere, total}} = I_{\text{sphere}} + I_{\text{parallel}} = 0.008 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2 + 0.08 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2 = 0.088 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2$
Since there are two identical spheres, the total moment of inertia of the system is:
$I_{\text{system}} = 2 \times 0.088 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2 = 0.176 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2$
Converting the result to the given form:
$0.176 \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2 = 176 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2$
So, the moment of inertia of the system about the given axis is:
$176 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}~\mathrm{m}^2$
Moment of inertia of a disc of mass '$M$' and radius '$R$' about any of its diameter is $\frac{M R^{2}}{4}$. The moment of inertia of this disc about an axis normal to the disc and passing through a point on its edge will be, $\frac{x}{2}$ MR$^{2}$. The value of $x$ is ___________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{cm}}+\mathrm{Md}^2 \\\\ & =\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{2}+\mathrm{MR}^2 \\\\ & =\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{MR}^2 \\\\ & \mathrm{x}=3\end{aligned}$
A solid cylinder is released from rest from the top of an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ and length $60 \mathrm{~cm}$. If the cylinder rolls without slipping, its speed upon reaching the bottom of the inclined plane is __________ $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$. (Given $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$)

Explanation:
$\Rightarrow m g\left[\frac{30}{100}\right]=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} \frac{m v^{2}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow 0.3 \times 10=\frac{3}{4} v^{2}$
$\Rightarrow v^{2}=4$
$\Rightarrow v=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \text { so } R^{2}=\frac{m}{\rho \pi t} \\\\ & I=\frac{m R^{2}}{4}=\frac{m^{2}}{4 \rho \pi t} \end{aligned} $
So $\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{\rho_{2} t_{2}}{\rho_{1} t_{1}}=\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{0.5}{1}=\frac{5}{6}$
So $x=5$
A solid sphere of mass $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ rolls without slipping on a plane surface. Its kinetic energy is $7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~J}$. The speed of the centre of mass of the sphere is __________ $\operatorname{cm~s}^{-1}$
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^{2}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)^{2}=7 \times 10^{-3}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MV}^{2}\left[1+\frac{2}{5}\right]=7 \times 10^{-3}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{1}{2}(1)\left(\mathrm{V}^{2}\right)\left(\frac{7}{5}\right)=7 \times 10^{-3}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{V}^{2}=10^{-2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{V}=10^{-1}=0.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}=10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$
A uniform disc of mass $0.5 \mathrm{~kg}$ and radius $r$ is projected with velocity $18 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ at $\mathrm{t}=0$ s on a rough horizontal surface. It starts off with a purely sliding motion at $\mathrm{t}=0 \mathrm{~s}$. After $2 \mathrm{~s}$ it acquires a purely rolling motion (see figure). The total kinetic energy of the disc after $2 \mathrm{~s}$ will be __________ $\mathrm{J}$ (given, coefficient of friction is $0.3$ and $g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ ).

Explanation:
$v = {v_0} - \mu gt$
$ \Rightarrow v = 18 - 0.3 \times 10 \times 2 = 12$ m/s
$\Rightarrow$ Kinetic energy $ = {1 \over 2}m{v^2} + {1 \over 2}{{m{v^2}} \over 2}$
$ = {3 \over 4}m{v^2} = {3 \over 4} \times 0.5 \times 144\,\mathrm{J} = 54\,\mathrm{J}$
A thin uniform rod of length $2 \mathrm{~m}$, cross sectional area '$A$' and density '$\mathrm{d}$' is rotated about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to its length with angular velocity $\omega$. If value of $\omega$ in terms of its rotational kinetic energy $E$ is $\sqrt{\frac{\alpha E}{A d}}$ then value of $\alpha$ is ______________.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy of rod $E = {1 \over 2}{{m{l^2}} \over {12}}{\omega ^2}$
or $\omega = \sqrt {{{24E} \over {m{l^2}}}} = \sqrt {{{24E} \over {d \times A \times {l^3}}}} $
$ \Rightarrow \omega = \sqrt {{{24E} \over {dA{2^3}}}} $
$ = \sqrt {{{3E} \over {Ad}}} $
So, $\alpha = 3$
A particle of mass 100 g is projected at time t = 0 with a speed 20 ms$^{-1}$ at an angle 45$^\circ$ to the horizontal as given in the figure. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the particle about the starting point at time t = 2s is found to be $\mathrm{\sqrt K~kg~m^2/s}$. The value of K is ___________.
(Take g = 10 ms$^{-2}$)

Explanation:
Horizontal displacement $x = v\cos \theta t$
$ = 10\sqrt 2 t$
So torque of weight about point of projection is
$\tau = mgx\,.\,( - \widehat k)$
${{d\overrightarrow L } \over {dt}} = mgx( - \widehat k)$
$\int_0^{\overrightarrow L } {d\overrightarrow L = 0.1 \times 10 \times 10\sqrt 2 \int_0^2 {t\,dt( - \widehat k)} } $
$\overrightarrow L = - 20\sqrt 2 \widehat k$
$|\overrightarrow L | = 20\sqrt 2 = \sqrt {800} $ kg m$^2$/s
