$A$ circular disc of diameter $0.8 \ m$ and mass $4 \ kg$ is rolling on a smooth horizontal plane. If $2.56 \ N \ m$ torque is acting on the disc,then its angular acceleration is

Find the ratio of linear acceleration $(a)$ to angular acceleration $(\alpha)$ of the center of mass $(COM)$ for the given diagram. Given: $m = 2 \, kg$,$r = 10 \, cm = 0.1 \, m$,and force $F = 20 \, N$ applied at the center.

Torques of equal magnitude are applied to a hollow cylinder and a solid sphere,both having the same mass and radius. The cylinder is free to rotate about its standard axis of symmetry,and the sphere is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre. Which of the two will acquire a greater angular speed after a given time?

The power $(P)$ is supplied to a rotating body having moment of inertia $I$ and angular acceleration $\alpha$. Its instantaneous angular velocity $\omega$ is

$A$ rope is wound around a solid cylinder of mass $1 \,kg$ and radius $0.4 \,m$. What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder, if the rope is pulled with a force of $25 \,N$? (The cylinder is rotating about its own axis.)

Four masses of $2 \ kg$ each are attached to an axle by spokes of length $1/4 \ m$ as shown in the figure. $A$ force $F = 24 \ N$ is applied at the end of a spoke of length $1/2 \ m$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to produce an angular acceleration $\alpha$. The value of $\alpha$ is ........ $rad/s^2$.
