Two identical beads are placed at vertex $A$ of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ made of a uniform wire. The triangle is rotated about the axis $AO$. The beads are then released from rest and move along $AB$ and $AC$ respectively (see figure). Neglecting friction,which of the following quantities will be conserved during the downward motion of the beads?

  • A
    Angular velocity and total energy
  • B
    Total angular momentum and total energy
  • C
    Angular velocity and moment of inertia about the axis of rotation
  • D
    Total angular momentum and moment of inertia about the axis of rotation

$A$ horizontal platform is rotating with uniform angular velocity around the vertical axis passing through its centre. At some instant of time, a viscous fluid of mass $m$ is dropped at the centre and is allowed to spread out and finally fall off. The angular velocity during this period

$A$ circular disc with moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about its symmetry axis with a constant angular speed $\omega_i$. Another disc with moment of inertia $I_b$ is placed coaxially onto the rotating disc. Initially,the second disc has zero angular speed. Finally,both discs rotate with a constant angular speed $\omega_f$. What is the energy lost due to friction by the rotating disc initially?

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ is made of a uniform wire. Two identical beads are initially at $A$. The triangle is set to rotate about a vertical axis $AO$. The beads are then released simultaneously from rest to slide down along $AB$ and $AC$. Neglecting friction,which quantities are conserved as the beads slide down?

Consider a uniform rod of mass $M=4m$ and length $\ell$ pivoted about its centre. $A$ mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ making an angle $\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$ to the rod's long axis collides with one end of the rod and sticks to it. The angular speed of the rod-mass system just after the collision is

$A$ child with mass $m$ is standing at the edge of a disc with moment of inertia $I$,radius $R$,and initial angular velocity $\omega$. See the figure given below. The child jumps off the edge of the disc with tangential velocity $v$ with respect to the ground. The new angular velocity of the disc is
