$A$ circular platform is situated in a horizontal plane and can rotate about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise is sitting at one edge of the platform,and the platform is rotating with a constant angular velocity $\omega_0$. If the tortoise starts moving with a uniform speed along a chord of the circular platform,how will the angular velocity of the platform change with time $t$?

  • A
    The angular velocity remains constant.
    Option A
  • B
    The angular velocity first increases and then decreases.
    Option B
  • C
    The angular velocity first decreases and then increases.
    Option C
  • D
    The angular velocity increases linearly and then decreases linearly.

The figure shows a system consisting of $(i)$ a ring of outer radius $3R$ rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed $\omega$ and $(ii)$ an inner disc of radius $2R$ rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed $\omega/2$. The ring and disc are separated by frictionless ball bearings. The system is in the $x-z$ plane. The point $P$ on the inner disc is at distance $R$ from the origin,where $OP$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Then with respect to the horizontal surface,
$(A)$ the point $O$ has linear velocity $3R\omega\hat{i}$.
$(B)$ the point $P$ has a linear velocity $\frac{11}{4}R\omega\hat{i} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
$(C)$ the point $P$ has linear velocity $\frac{13}{4}R\omega\hat{i} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.
$(D)$ The point $P$ has a linear velocity $(3 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4})R\omega\hat{i} + \frac{1}{4}R\omega\hat{k}$.

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$ : When the moment of inertia $I$ of a body rotating about an axis with angular speed $\omega$ increases,its angular momentum $L$ remains unchanged,but the kinetic energy $K$ decreases if no external torque is applied.
Statement $2$ : $L = I\omega$ and the rotational kinetic energy $K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = \frac{L^2}{2I}$.

$ABC$ is an equilateral triangle with $O$ as its centre. $\vec F_1, \vec F_2$ and $\vec F_3$ represent three forces acting along the sides $AB, BC$ and $AC$ respectively. If the total torque about $O$ is zero,then the magnitude of $\vec F_3$ is

An object has a moment of inertia of $3 \ kg \cdot m^2$. It is rotating with an angular velocity of $2 \ rad/s$. If a mass of $12 \ kg$ is moving with a velocity of $v \ m/s$,at what value of $v$ will their kinetic energies be equal?

One of two identical cylinders,cylinder $A$,rotates at an angular speed of $50 \text{ revolutions per second}$. This rotating cylinder is brought into contact with a second stationary cylinder,$B$. Due to kinetic friction between the two cylinders,the stationary cylinder starts rotating with an angular acceleration,while cylinder $A$ undergoes angular deceleration. If the magnitude of the angular acceleration for both cylinders is $1 \text{ revolution per second}^2$,after how many seconds $(t)$ will the angular speeds of both cylinders become equal?
