$A$ rod of length $L$ is held vertically on a smooth horizontal surface. The top end of the rod is given a gentle push. At a certain instant of time,when the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,the velocity of the $COM$ of the rod is $v_0$. The velocity of the end of the rod in contact with the surface at that instant is:

  • A
    $v_0 \cot \theta$
  • B
    $v_0 \cos \theta$
  • C
    $v_0 \sin \theta$
  • D
    $v_0 \tan \theta$

As shown in the figure,a small wheel is coaxially connected to a larger wheel of double its radius. The system rotates about a common axis. Strings $A$ and $B$ are attached to the wheels such that they do not slip. If $x$ and $y$ are the distances covered by $A$ and $B$ in the same time interval,then:

In the figure shown,a mass $m$ is attached to a light string which is wrapped around a solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$. The system starts from rest at $t = 0$. If friction is negligible,what will be the angular velocity at time $t$?
