Two wheels $A$ and $B$ are mounted on the same axis. The moment of inertia of wheel $A$ is $I_A$ and its angular velocity is $\omega_A$,while wheel $B$ is initially at rest. When they are coupled together by a clutch,they rotate with a common angular velocity $\omega$. What is the moment of inertia of wheel $B$?

  • A
    $(I_A + I_B) \omega$
  • B
    $\frac{I_A \omega_A - I_A \omega}{\omega}$
  • C
    $\frac{I_A \omega_A + I_A \omega}{I_A}$
  • D
    $\frac{I_A \omega_A + I_A \omega}{I_A \omega}$

$A$ child is standing with folded hands at the centre of a platform rotating about its central axis. The kinetic energy of the system is $K$. The child now stretches his arms so that the moment of inertia of the system becomes double. The kinetic energy of the system now is

Two identical beads are placed at vertex $A$ of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ made of a uniform wire. The triangle is rotated about the axis $AO$. The beads are then released from rest and move along $AB$ and $AC$ respectively (see figure). Neglecting friction,which of the following quantities will be conserved during the downward motion of the beads?

$A$ wheel is rotating freely with an angular speed $\omega$ on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is $I$ and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. Another wheel of moment of inertia $3I$ initially at rest is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. The resultant fractional loss in the kinetic energy of the system is:
