$A$ rigid uniform bar $AB$ of length $L$ is slipping from its vertical position on a frictionless floor (as shown in the figure). At some instant of time,the angle made by the bar with the vertical is $\theta$. Which of the following statements about its motion is/are correct?
$[A]$ The midpoint of the bar will fall vertically downward
$[B]$ The trajectory of the point $A$ is a parabola
$[C]$ Instantaneous torque about the point in contact with the floor is proportional to $\sin \theta$
$[D]$ When the bar makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical,the displacement of its midpoint from the initial position is proportional to $(1-\cos \theta)$

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 $\omega_{1} \neq \omega_{2}$.
