$A$ roller is made by joining together two cones at their vertices $O$. It is kept on two rails $AB$ and $CD$,which are placed asymmetrically (see figure),with its axis perpendicular to $CD$ and its centre $O$ at the centre of the line joining $AB$ and $CD$ (see figure). It is given a light push so that it starts rolling with its centre $O$ moving parallel to $CD$ in the direction shown. As it moves,the roller will tend to

  • A

  • B
    turn left and right alternately
  • C
    turn left
  • D
    turn right

$A$ uniform rod of length $l$ is pivoted at one of its ends on a vertical shaft of negligible radius. When the shaft rotates at angular speed $\omega$,the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with it (see figure). To find $\theta$,equate the rate of change of angular momentum (direction going into the paper) $\frac{m l^{2}}{12} \omega^{2} \sin \theta \cos \theta$ about the centre of mass $(CM)$ to the torque provided by the horizontal and vertical forces $F_{H}$ and $F_{V}$ about the $CM$. The value of $\theta$ is then such that:

$A$ thin hollow sphere of mass $m$ is completely filled with a liquid of mass $m$. When the sphere rolls with a velocity $v$, the kinetic energy of the system is (neglect friction):

$A$ spherical rigid ball is released from rest and starts rolling down an inclined plane from height $h=7 \, m$,as shown in the figure. It hits a block at rest on the horizontal plane (assume elastic collision). If the mass of both the ball and the block is $m$ and the ball is rolling without sliding,then the speed of the block after collision is close to ............. $m/s$.

$A$ ring starting from rest rotates under a constant angular acceleration of $8 \ rad \ s^{-2}$ due to an applied torque. How many revolutions will the ring complete in $5 \ s$? How many revolutions will it complete in the $6^{th}$ second? If the torque becomes zero after $6 \ s$,how many revolutions will the ring complete in the $7^{th}$ second?

Two masses of $0.3 \, kg$ and $0.7 \, kg$ are attached to the ends of a rod of length $1.4 \, m$ and negligible mass. The rod is rotated about an axis perpendicular to its length with a constant angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass so that the work required to rotate the rod is minimum is:
