Four spheres,each of mass $M$ and diameter $2a$,are placed at the corners of a square of side $b$. The moment of inertia of this system about an axis along one of the sides of the square is:

  • A
    $ \frac{4}{5}M{a^2} + 2M{b^2} $
  • B
    $ \frac{8}{5}M{a^2} + 2M{b^2} $
  • C
    $ \frac{8}{5}M{a^2} $
  • D
    $ \frac{4}{5}M{a^2} + 4M{b^2} $

$A$ projectile of mass $3m$ explodes at the highest point of its path. It breaks into three equal parts. One part retraces its path,the second one comes to rest. The distance of the third part from the point of projection when it finally lands on the ground is ........$m.$ (The range of the projectile was $100\,m$ if no explosion would have taken place.)

$A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired horizontally into a large sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ resting on a smooth horizontal table. The bullet hits the sphere at a height $h$ from the table and sticks to its surface. If the sphere starts rolling without slipping immediately on impact,then

$A$ block of mass $m$ is attached to a pulley disc of equal mass $m$ and radius $r$ by means of a slack string as shown. The pulley is hinged about its centre on a horizontal table and the block is projected with an initial velocity of $5\, m/s$. Its velocity when the string becomes taut will be

$A$ block of mass $m = 1 \, kg$ slides with velocity $v = 6 \, m/s$ on a frictionless horizontal surface and collides with a uniform vertical rod and sticks to it as shown. The rod is pivoted about $O$ and swings as a result of the collision,making an angle $\theta$ before momentarily coming to rest. If the rod has mass $M = 2 \, kg$ and length $l = 1 \, m$,the value of $\theta$ is approximately (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$) (in $^{\circ}$)

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(1)$ In the law of conservation of momentum, the center of mass velocity remains constant.
$(2)$ "If the resultant of internal forces on a system is zero, then the total linear momentum of the system remains constant." This is the statement of the law of conservation of linear momentum.
$(3)$ The position of the center of mass of a rigid body must always be inside the rigid body.
$(4)$ All particles of a rigid body undergoing rotational motion have the same linear velocity.
