$A$ solid sphere of mass $m$,radius $R$,having moment of inertia about an axis passing through its center of mass as $I$ is recast into a disc of thickness $t$ whose moment of inertia about an axis passing through the rim (edge) and perpendicular to its plane remains $I$. Then the radius of the disc is:

  • A
    $\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{15}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2}{15}} R$
  • C
    $\frac{4 R}{\sqrt{15}}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{4}$

$A$ simple pendulum of length $\ell$ is displaced so that its taut string is horizontal and then released. $A$ uniform bar of length $L$ pivoted at one end is simultaneously released from its horizontal position. If their motions are synchronous (i.e.,they have the same angular velocity at any angle $\theta$ below the horizontal),what is the length $L$ of the bar?

$A$ particle starts from the point $(0\,m, 8\,m)$ and moves with a uniform velocity of $3\, \hat{i} \,m/s$. After $5\,s$,the angular velocity of the particle about the origin will be:

$A$ rigid uniform bar $AB$ of length $L$ is slipping from its vertical position on a frictionless floor (as shown in the figure). At some instant of time,the angle made by the bar with the vertical is $\theta$. Which of the following statements about its motion is/are correct?
$[A]$ The midpoint of the bar will fall vertically downward
$[B]$ The trajectory of the point $A$ is a parabola
$[C]$ Instantaneous torque about the point in contact with the floor is proportional to $\sin \theta$
$[D]$ When the bar makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical,the displacement of its midpoint from the initial position is proportional to $(1-\cos \theta)$

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:
