  • B
    The angular velocity of an object at the equator is greater than at the poles.
  • C

An object of mass $2 \ kg$ is hanging from a rope that is wrapped around a pulley of radius $25 \ cm$. The mass of the pulley is $2 \ kg$. Find the acceleration of the object. (Assume the pulley to be a solid disk,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Two masses $m$ and $2m$ are connected by a light string passing over a pulley (disc) of mass $M = 30m$ and radius $r = 0.1 \ m$. The pulley is mounted in a vertical plane and is free to rotate about its axis. The $2m$ mass is released from rest. Find its speed when it has descended through a height of $h = 3.6 \ m$. (Assume the string does not slip and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is placed in a horizontal position. Two strings are wrapped around the cylinder. Find the tension in the strings and the acceleration of the cylinder as the strings unwind.

$A$ rod of length $l$ and mass $m$ lies on a fixed horizontal smooth table. $A$ cord is led through a pulley,and its horizontal part is attached to one end of the rod,while its vertical part is attached to a block of mass $m_1$. Assume the pulley and the cord are ideal. The maximum possible acceleration of the rod's centre of mass $C$ (for all possible values of masses $m$ and $m_1$) at the moment of releasing the block $m_1$ is $\frac{g}{n}$. Find the value of $n$.
