Three identical spherical shells,each of mass $m$ and radius $r$,are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis $XX'$ which touches two shells and passes through the diameter of the third shell. The moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spherical shells about the $XX'$ axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{11}{5} mr^2$
  • B
    $3 mr^2$
  • C
    $\frac{16}{5} mr^2$
  • D
    $4 mr^2$

$A$ uniform rod is fixed to a rotating turntable so that its lower end is on the axis of the turntable and it makes an angle of $20^o$ to the vertical. (The rod is thus rotating with uniform angular velocity about a vertical axis passing through one end.) If the turntable is rotating clockwise as seen from above,is there a torque acting on it,and if so,in what direction?

$A$ uniform circular disc of radius $R$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane, is rotating with an angular velocity $\omega$ about its own axis. Another identical circular disc is gently placed on top of the first disc coaxially. The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to friction between the two discs, as they acquire a common angular velocity, is ($I$ is the moment of inertia of the disc).

$A$ solid cylinder of mass $2 \ kg$ and radius $0.2 \ m$ is rotating with an angular velocity of $3 \ rad/s$. $A$ particle of mass $0.5 \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $5 \ m/s$ strikes its periphery and sticks to it. The loss in kinetic energy due to the collision is ....... $J$.

The position of an object having mass $0.1 \text{ kg}$ as a function of time $t$ is given as $\vec{r} = (10t^2\hat{i} + 5t^3\hat{j}) \text{ m}$. At $t = 1 \text{ s}$, which of the following statements are correct?
$A$. The linear momentum $\vec{p} = (2\hat{i} + 1.5\hat{j}) \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}$.
$B$. The force acting on the object $\vec{F} = (2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \text{ N}$.
$C$. The angular momentum of the object about its origin $\vec{L} = 15\hat{k} \text{ J} \cdot \text{s}$.
$D$. The torque acting on the object about its origin $\vec{\tau} = 20\hat{k} \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}$.
