$A$ 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
    $2 I$
  • B
    $3 I$
  • C
    $I / 2$
  • D
    $I / 3$

$A$ thin uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. Another disc of the same radius but of mass $\frac{M}{3}$ is placed gently on the first disc co-axially. The new angular velocity will be:

$A$ 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 .........

$A$ small disk is attached to the end of a light inextensible string,which passes through a hole in a frictionless horizontal tabletop. Initially,the disk moves on a circle of radius $R$ with kinetic energy $K_0$. The string is then slowly pulled so that the disk finally rotates on a circle of radius $\frac{R}{\eta}$. What is the work $W$ done in pulling the string?
