$Assertion :$ $A$ hollow shaft is found to be stronger than a solid shaft made of the same material and having the same mass per unit length.
$Reason :$ The torque required to produce a given twist in a hollow cylinder is greater than that required to twist a solid cylinder of the same length and material.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

$A$ thin uniform rod of length $l$ and mass $m$ is swinging freely about a horizontal axis passing through its end. Its maximum angular speed is $\omega$. Its centre of mass rises to a maximum height of:

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$ : When the moment of inertia $I$ of a body rotating about an axis with angular speed $\omega$ increases,its angular momentum $L$ remains unchanged,but the kinetic energy $K$ decreases if no external torque is applied.
Statement $2$ : $L = I\omega$ and the rotational kinetic energy $K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = \frac{L^2}{2I}$.
