$A$ ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating with angular speed $\omega$ about a fixed vertical axis passing through its centre $O$ with two point masses each of mass $\frac{M}{8}$ at rest at $O$. These masses can move radially outwards along two massless rods fixed on the ring as shown in the figure. At some instant,the angular speed of the system is $\frac{8}{9} \omega$ and one of the masses is at a distance of $\frac{3}{5} R$ from $O$. At this instant,the distance of the other mass from $O$ is

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3} R$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3} R$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{5} R$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{5} R$

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Two objects,each of mass $m$,are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:

$A$ circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. $A$ tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $\omega_0$. When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $\omega(t)$ will vary with time $t$ as:

$A$ small mass attached to a string rotates on a frictionless table top as shown. If the tension in the string is increased by pulling the string,causing the radius of the circular motion to decrease by a factor of $2$,the kinetic energy of the mass will

$A$ horizontal platform is rotating with uniform angular velocity around the vertical axis passing through its centre. At some instant of time, a viscous fluid of mass $m$ is dropped at the centre and is allowed to spread out and finally fall off. The angular velocity during this period

$(a)$ $A$ child stands at the centre of a turntable with his two arms outstretched. The turntable is set rotating with an angular speed of $40\; rev/min$. How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to $2/5$ times the initial value? Assume that the turntable rotates without friction.
$(b)$ Show that the child's new kinetic energy of rotation is more than the initial kinetic energy of rotation. How do you account for this increase in kinetic energy?
