$A$ thin rod of length $L$ is placed vertically on a frictionless horizontal floor and released with a negligible push to allow it to fall. At any moment,the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. If the center of mass has acceleration $= A$,and the rod has an angular acceleration $= \alpha$ at that moment,then:

  • A
    $A = (L\alpha) \sin \theta$
  • B
    $A/2 = (L\alpha) \sin \theta$
  • C
    $2A = (L\alpha) \sin \theta$
  • D
    $A = L\alpha$

$A$ 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 $2Ma^{2}/3$)

Two point-like objects of masses $20 \text{ g}$ and $30 \text{ g}$ are fixed at the two ends of a rigid massless rod of length $10 \text{ cm}$. This system is suspended vertically from a rigid ceiling using a thin wire attached to its center of mass,as shown in the figure. The resulting torsional pendulum undergoes small oscillations. The torsional constant of the wire is $1.2 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N m rad}^{-1}$. The angular frequency of the oscillations is $n \times 10^{-3} \text{ rad s}^{-1}$. The value of $n$ is

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

The figure shows a system consisting of $(i)$ a ring of outer radius $3R$ rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed $\omega$ and $(ii)$ an inner disc of radius $2R$ rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed $\omega/2$. The ring and disc are separated by frictionless ball bearings. The system is in the $x-z$ plane. The point $P$ on the inner disc is at distance $R$ from the origin,where $OP$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Then with respect to the horizontal surface,
$(A)$ the point $O$ has linear velocity $3R\omega\hat{i}$.
$(B)$ the point $P$ has a linear velocity $\frac{11}{4}R\omega\hat{i} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
$(C)$ the point $P$ has linear velocity $\frac{13}{4}R\omega\hat{i} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
$(D)$ The point $P$ has a linear velocity $(3 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4})R\omega\hat{i} + \frac{1}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
