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
    Angular velocity and total energy
  • B
    Total angular momentum and total energy
  • C
    Angular velocity and moment of inertia about the axis of rotation
  • D
    Total angular momentum and moment of inertia about the axis of rotation

$A$ force $\overrightarrow{F} = \alpha \hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$ is acting at a point $\overrightarrow{R} = 2\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} - 12\hat{k}$. The value of $\alpha$ for which angular momentum about the origin is conserved is

Two discs of same moment of inertia $I$ are rotating about their central axes perpendicular to their planes with angular velocities $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. They are brought into contact face to face,such that their axes of rotation coincide. The expression for the loss of energy during this process is:

Two discs of moment of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating along collinear axes passing through their centers of mass and perpendicular to their planes.

$A$ circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $\omega_0$. When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $\omega(t)$ will vary with time $t$ as:
