$A$ mass $M = 40 \ kg$ is fixed at the very edge of a long plank of mass $80 \ kg$ and length $1 \ m$ which is pivoted such that it is in equilibrium. How far (approx.) from the pivot should a mass of $100 \ kg$ be attached so that the plank starts rotating with an angular acceleration of $1 \ rad/s^2$?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{75} \ m$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{25} \ m$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{15} \ m$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{45} \ m$

$A$ metal sphere of radius $r$ and specific heat $S$ is rotated about an axis passing through its centre at a speed of $n$ rotations per second. It is suddenly stopped and $50 \%$ of its energy is used in increasing its temperature. Then, the rise in temperature of the sphere is

Two discs of moments of inertia $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre),and rotating with angular speeds $\omega_{1}$ and $\omega_{2}$ are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. $(a)$ What is the angular speed of the two-disc system? $(b)$ Show that the kinetic energy of the combined system is less than the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the two discs. How do you account for this loss in energy? Take $\omega_{1} \neq \omega_{2}$.
