$A$ 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. . . . .

$A$ solid sphere rotates about a vertical axis on a frictionless bearing. $A$ massless cord passes around the equator of the sphere,then passes over a solid cylinder,and is then connected to a block of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. If the system is released from rest,then the speed acquired by the block after it has fallen through a distance $h$ is

Two cylindrical hollow drums of radii $R$ and $2R$ and of a common height $h$ are rotating with angular velocities $\omega$ (anti-clockwise) and $\omega$ (clockwise) respectively. Their axes,which are fixed,are parallel and in a horizontal plane separated by $3R$. They are now brought into contact.
$(a)$ Show the frictional forces just after contact.
$(b)$ Identify forces and torques external to the system just after contact.
$(c)$ What would be the ratio of final angular velocities when friction ceases?

$A$ wheel starting from rest is uniformly accelerated at $2 \, rad/s^2$ for $20 \, s$. It is allowed to rotate uniformly for the next $10 \, s$ and is finally brought to rest in the next $20 \, s$. The total angle rotated by the wheel (in radians) is ............
