$A$ thin rod $MN$,free to rotate in the vertical plane about the fixed end $N$,is held horizontal. When the end $M$ is released,the speed of this end,when the rod makes an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal,will be proportional to (see figure):

  • A
    $\sqrt{\cos \alpha}$
  • B
    $\cos \alpha$
  • C
    $\sin \alpha$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\sin \alpha}$

$A$ uniform solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$ can freely rotate around its axis $O$. There is an elastic string of relaxed length $L$ and stiffness $K$ attached to the cylinder and a static wall. Initially,the string is relaxed. As the cylinder starts rotating,the string will wind around the cylinder. The surface of the cylinder is very rough,so the string does not slip on the cylinder's surface. The minimum initial angular speed of the cylinder,${\omega _0}$,so that it can rotate through an angle $2\pi$ is (Assume Hooke's law to be valid.)

$A$ uniform bar of length $6l$ and mass $8m$ lies on a smooth horizontal table. Two point masses $m$ and $2m$ moving in the same horizontal plane with speeds $2v$ and $v$ respectively,strike the bar (as shown in the figure) and stick to the bar after the collision. The total energy after the collision (about the center of mass,$c$) will be:

To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of $200 \; rad \; s^{-1}$,an engine needs to transmit a torque of $180 \; N \; m$. What is the power required by the engine (in $; kW$)? (Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice,applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is $100 \%$ efficient.

$A$ thin uniform metal rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is swinging about a horizontal axis passing through its end. Its maximum angular velocity is $\omega$. Its centre of mass rises to a maximum height of (where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
