$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pivoted at its center $O$ such that it can rotate freely in a vertical plane. The rod is initially in a horizontal position. $A$ particle $S$ of the same mass $M$ falls vertically with velocity $v$ and strikes the rod at point $C$. $C$ is the midpoint between $O$ and $B$. Find the angular velocity of the rod immediately after the particle strikes it.

  • A
    $\frac{8v}{5L}$
  • B
    $\frac{2v}{3L}$
  • C
    $\frac{12v}{7L}$
  • D
    $\frac{9v}{7L}$

$A$ circular platform rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise sits on the edge of the platform. The platform is given an initial angular velocity $\omega_0$. The tortoise now moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (relative to the platform). How does the angular velocity $\omega(t)$ of the platform change with time $t$?
