$A$ thin rod of mass $M$ and length $a$ is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a fixed vertical axis passing through point $O$. $A$ thin circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $a/4$ is pivoted on this rod with its center at a distance $a/4$ from the free end so that it can rotate freely about its vertical axis,as shown in the figure. Assume that both the rod and the disc have uniform density and they remain horizontal during the motion. An outside stationary observer finds the rod rotating with an angular velocity $\Omega$ and the disc rotating about its vertical axis with angular velocity $4\Omega$. The total angular momentum of the system about the point $O$ is $\left(\frac{Ma^2\Omega}{48}\right) n$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .

Statement-$1$: $A$ body is rotating about an axis with angular velocity $\omega$ and moment of inertia $I$. Its angular momentum $L$ remains constant,but its rotational kinetic energy $K$ decreases,provided no external torque is applied.
Statement-$2$: $L = I\omega$ and $K = \frac{L^2}{2I} = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2$.

$A$ 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

Two rings of the same radius and mass are placed such that their centres are at a common point and their planes are perpendicular to each other.
