$A$ solid sphere with uniform density and radius $R$ is rotating initially with constant angular velocity $\omega_1$ about its diameter. After some time,it starts losing mass at a uniform rate,with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius becomes $R/2$ is $x\omega_1$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ dancer on a smooth floor is spinning about a vertical axis at an angular velocity of $20 \ rad/s$ with her arms folded. When she stretches her arms out,the angular speed decreases to $10 \ rad/s$. If the initial moment of inertia of the dancer is $I$,what will be the new moment of inertia?

$A$ horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis through its centre makes $90$ revolutions per minute. $A$ small piece of wax of mass $m$ falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance $r$ from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute reduces to $60$,then the moment of inertia of the disc is .........

In a playground,there is a merry-go-round of mass $120\ kg$ and radius $4\ m$. The radius of gyration is $3\ m$. $A$ child of mass $30\ kg$ runs at a speed of $5\ m/s$ tangent to the rim of the merry-go-round when it is at rest and then jumps on it. Neglecting friction,find the angular velocity of the merry-go-round and child in $rad/s$.

$A$ thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the disc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end. During the journey of the insect, the angular speed of the disc:

$A$ metre stick is pivoted about its centre. $A$ piece of wax of mass $20 \,g$ travelling horizontally and perpendicular to it at $5 \,m/s$ strikes and adheres to one end of the stick so that the stick starts to rotate in a horizontal circle. Given the moment of inertia of the stick and wax about the pivot is $0.02 \,kg \cdot m^2$,the initial angular velocity of the stick is ........... $rad/s$.
