$A$ thin string is wrapped around the circumference of a wheel of radius $r$. The wheel has a horizontal axle and a moment of inertia $I$ about it. $A$ weight $mg$ is attached to the end of the string,which falls from rest. After falling through a distance $h$,the angular velocity of the wheel will be:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{I + mr}}$
  • B
    $\left[\frac{2mgh}{I + mr^2}\right]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $\left[\frac{2mgh}{I + 2mr^2}\right]^{1/2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2gh}$

$A$ solid cube of wood of side $2a$ and mass $M$ is resting on a horizontal surface as shown below. The cube is free to rotate about the fixed axis $AB$. $A$ bullet of mass $m (< M)$ and speed $v$ is shot horizontally at the face opposite to $ABCD$ at a height $h$ above the surface to impart the cube an angular speed $\omega_{c}$,so that the cube just topples over. Then,$\omega_{c}$ is (Note: the moment of inertia of the cube about an axis passing through the centre of mass and parallel to the edge is $2Ma^{2}/3$)

The moment of inertia of a sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is $I$. If the mass is kept constant,what will be the nature of the graph between $I$ and $R$?

$A$ uniform disc is acted upon by two equal forces of magnitude $F$. One of them acts tangentially to the disc,while the other acts at the central point of the disc. The friction between the disc surface and the ground surface is $nF$. If $r$ is the radius of the disc,then the value of $n$ would be:
