Solution
Three masses are placed on the x-axis : 300 g at origin, 500g at x= 40 cm and 400 g at x = 70 cm. The distance of the centre of mass from the origin is

Solution
According to parallel axis theorem of the moment of Inertia
I = Icm + md2
d is maximum for point B so Imax about B.
The instantaneous angular position of a point on a rotating wheel is given by the equation θ(t) = 2t3– 6t2. The torque on the wheel becomes zero at

Solution
The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an axis passing through its midpoint and perpendicular to its length is I0. Its moment of inertia about an axis passing through one of its ends and perpendicular to its length is

Solution
By theorem of parallel axes,
I = Icm + Md2
I = I0 + M (L/2)2= I0 + ML2/4
A circular disk of moment of inertia It is rotating in a horizontal plane, its symmetry axis, with a constant angular speed ωi. Another disk of moment of inertia Ib is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disk. Initially the second disk has zero angular speed. Eventually both the disks rotate with a constant angular speed ωf. The energy lost by the initially rotating disk to friction is

Solution
A tube of length L is filled completely with an incompressible liquid of mass M and closed at both ends.The tube is then rotated in a horizontal plane about one of its ends with uniform angular speed ω. What is the force exerted by the liquid at the other end?
-
Solution
Tube may be treated as a particle of mass M at distance L/2 from one end.
Centripetal force = Mrω2 = \(\frac{ML\omega ^{2}}{2}\)
A drum of radius R and mass M, rolls down without slipping along an inclined plane of angle θ. The frictional force

Solution
Net work done by frictional force when drum rolls down without slipping is zero.
Wnet = 0, Wtrans. + Wrot.= 0
ΔKtrans.+ ΔKrot. = 0
ΔKtrans= –ΔKrot.
i.e., converts translation energy to rotational energy.
Two bodies have their moments of inertia I and 2I respectively about their axis of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal, their angular momenta will be in the ratio
