$A$ wheel is rotating freely with an angular speed $\omega$ on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is $I$ and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. Another wheel of moment of inertia $3I$ initially at rest is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. The resultant fractional loss in the kinetic energy of the system is:

Assertion $:-$ When no external torque is applied and moment of inertia of a rotating body changes,then its angular momentum remains conserved,but its kinetic energy changes.
Reason $:-$ Angular momentum does not depend upon moment of inertia of the body.

$A$ space station consists of two living modules attached to a central hub on opposite sides by long corridors of equal length $L$. Each living module contains $N$ astronauts of equal mass $m$. The mass of the space station structure is negligible compared to the mass of the astronauts,and the size of the central hub and living modules is negligible compared to the length of the corridors. Initially,the space station is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ such that the astronauts feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g = \omega^2 L$. Two astronauts,one from each module,move into the central hub. The remaining astronauts now feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g'$. What is the ratio $g'/g$ in terms of $N$?

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with an angular speed $\omega$. Two particles each of mass $m$ are now attached at diametrically opposite points. The angular speed of the ring will become

$A$ uniform disc of mass $m_0$ rotates freely about a fixed horizontal axis passing through its centre. $A$ thin cotton pad is fixed to its rim,which can absorb water. The mass of water dripping onto the pad per unit time is $\mu$. After what time will the angular velocity of the disc get reduced to half its initial value?

If the radius of the Earth becomes $1/n^{th}$ of its present value,without any change in its mass,then the duration of the day becomes:
