$A$ uniform rod is fixed to a rotating turntable so that its lower end is on the axis of the turntable and it makes an angle of $20^o$ to the vertical. (The rod is thus rotating with uniform angular velocity about a vertical axis passing through one end.) If the turntable is rotating clockwise as seen from above,is there a torque acting on it,and if so,in what direction?

$A$ sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is attached by a light rod of length $l$ to a point $P$. The sphere rolls without slipping on a circular track as shown. It is released from the horizontal position. The angular momentum of the system about $P$ when the rod becomes vertical is:

$A$ thin rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $m$ is held horizontally so that it can freely rotate in a vertical plane about the end $A$ as shown in the figure. The potential energy of the rod when it hangs vertically is taken to be zero. The end $B$ of the rod is released from rest from a horizontal position. At the instant the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal:

$A$ thin uniform rod,pivoted at $O$,is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed $\omega$,as shown in the figure. At time $t = 0$,a small insect of mass $m$ starts from $O$ and moves with constant speed $v$ with respect to the rod towards the other end. It reaches the end of the rod at time $t = T$ and stops. The angular speed of the system remains $\omega$ throughout. The magnitude of the torque $(|\vec{\tau}|)$ on the system about $O$,as a function of time,is best represented by which plot?

$A$ mass $M = 40 \ kg$ is fixed at the very edge of a long plank of mass $80 \ kg$ and length $1 \ m$ which is pivoted such that it is in equilibrium. How far (approx.) from the pivot should a mass of $100 \ kg$ be attached so that the plank starts rotating with an angular acceleration of $1 \ rad/s^2$?

$A$ rod of length $1\,m$ is standing vertically. When its upper end is released and it falls such that the lower end touches the ground without slipping,the speed of the upper end when it hits the ground is:
