If the radius of the Earth shrinks to half of its current value, the duration of the day will decrease by how many hours?

The angular momentum of a system of particles is not conserved:

Suppose all the people in the world line up at the equator and all start running at speed $v_{rel}$ relative to the surface of the Earth along the equatorial circle. The initial angular velocity of the Earth is $\omega_0$. Let the moment of inertia of the Earth be $I_E$,the moment of inertia of all people be $I_P$,and the radius of the Earth be $R$. Which of the following statements is correct?

Which of the following remains constant in a central force field?

$A$ uniform circular disc of mass $50 \ kg$ and radius $0.4 \ m$ is rotating with an angular velocity of $10 \ rad \ s^{-1}$ about its own axis,which is vertical. Two uniform circular rings,each of mass $6.25 \ kg$ and radius $0.2 \ m$,are gently placed symmetrically on the disc in such a manner that they are touching each other along the axis of the disc and are horizontal. Assume that the friction is large enough such that the rings are at rest relative to the disc and the system rotates about the original axis. The new angular velocity (in $rad \ s^{-1}$) of the system is:

$A$ disc of moment of inertia $I_1$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane with a constant angular speed $\omega_1$. Another disc of moment of inertia $I_2$ having zero angular speed is placed coaxially on the rotating disc. Now,both the discs are rotating with a constant angular speed $\omega_2$. The energy lost by the initial rotating disc is
