  • A
    $\omega$
  • B
    Both $\omega$ and $L$
  • C
    Only $L$

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ formed from a uniform wire has two small identical beads initially located at $A$. The triangle is set rotating about the vertical axis $AO$. Then the beads are released from rest simultaneously and allowed to slide down,one along $AB$ and the other along $AC$ as shown. Neglecting frictional effects,the quantities that are conserved as the beads slide down,are

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