$A$ thin uniform stick of length $l$ and mass $m$ is held horizontally with its end $B$ hinged on the edge of a table. Point $A$ is suddenly released. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the stick at the time of release is:

  • A
    $\frac{3}{4} g$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{7} g$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{7} g$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{7} g$

Moment of inertia of a body about an axis is $4 \,kg-m^2$. The body is initially at rest and a torque of $8 \,N-m$ starts acting on it along the same axis. Work done by the torque in $20 \,s$,in joules,is

$A$ uniform disc of mass $m$ and radius $R$ is pivoted at point $P$ and is free to rotate in a vertical plane. The centre $C$ of the disc is initially in a horizontal position with $P$ as shown in the figure. If it is released from this position,then its angular acceleration when the line $PC$ is inclined to the horizontal at an angle $\theta$ is ............

Torques of equal magnitude are applied to a hollow cylinder and a solid sphere,both having the same mass and radius. The cylinder is free to rotate about its standard axis of symmetry,and the sphere is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre. Which of the two will acquire a greater angular speed after a given time?
