$A$ thin uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with an angular velocity $\omega$. Another disc of the same thickness and radius but of mass $\frac{1}{8} M$ is placed gently on the first disc coaxially. The angular velocity of the system is now

  • A
    $\frac{8}{9} \omega$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{9} \omega$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3} \omega$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{9} \omega$

$A$ circular platform rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise sits on the edge of the platform. The platform is given an initial angular velocity $\omega_0$. The tortoise now moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (relative to the platform). How does the angular velocity $\omega(t)$ of the platform change with time $t$?

$A$ man is standing on the edge of a circular platform. The platform is rotating with a constant angular velocity about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. If the man walks along the radius towards the axis, the angular velocity will ........ .

The angular velocity of a body changes from $\omega_1$ to $\omega_2$ without the application of any external torque,but this change occurs due to a change in its moment of inertia. The ratio of the radii of gyration in the two cases will be:

$A$ space station consists of two living modules attached to a central hub on opposite sides by long corridors of equal length $L$. Each living module contains $N$ astronauts of equal mass $m$. The mass of the space station structure is negligible compared to the mass of the astronauts,and the size of the central hub and living modules is negligible compared to the length of the corridors. Initially,the space station is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ such that the astronauts feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g = \omega^2 L$. Two astronauts,one from each module,move into the central hub. The remaining astronauts now feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g'$. What is the ratio $g'/g$ in terms of $N$?

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis vertical to its plane with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. If two objects each of mass $m$ are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring,the ring will then rotate with an angular velocity:
