$A$ uniform rod of length $l$ is pivoted at one of its ends on a vertical shaft of negligible radius. When the shaft rotates at angular speed $\omega$,the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with it (see figure). To find $\theta$,equate the rate of change of angular momentum (direction going into the paper) $\frac{m l^{2}}{12} \omega^{2} \sin \theta \cos \theta$ about the centre of mass $(CM)$ to the torque provided by the horizontal and vertical forces $F_{H}$ and $F_{V}$ about the $CM$. The value of $\theta$ is then such that:

$A$ thin circular coin of mass $5 \text{ g}$ and radius $4/3 \text{ cm}$ is initially in a horizontal $xy$-plane. The coin is tossed vertically up ($+z$ direction) by applying an impulse of $J = \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}} \times 10^{-2} \text{ N-s}$ at a distance $r = 2/3 \text{ cm}$ from its center. The coin spins about its diameter and moves along the $+z$ direction. By the time the coin reaches back to its initial position,it completes $n$ rotations. The value of $n$ is. . . . . [Given: The acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$]

$A$ uniform bar of length $12 \text{ cm}$ and mass $20m$ lies on a smooth horizontal table. Two point masses $m$ and $2m$ are moving in opposite directions with the same speed $v$ and in the same plane as the bar. These masses strike the bar simultaneously and get stuck to it. After the collision, the entire system is rotating with an angular frequency $\omega$. The ratio of $v$ and $\omega$ is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along the side of a square of side '$a$',with a uniform speed $v$ in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is false for the angular momentum $\vec L$ about the origin?

The moment of inertia of a ring about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is $I$. It is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$. Another identical ring is gently placed on it so that their centres coincide. If both rings are rotating about the same axis, then the loss in kinetic energy is
