Concrete mixture is made by mixing cement,stone,and sand in a rotating cylindrical drum. If the drum rotates too fast,the ingredients remain stuck to the wall of the drum and proper mixing of ingredients does not take place. The maximum rotational speed of the drum in revolutions per minute (rpm) to ensure proper mixing is close to (Take the radius of the drum to be $1.25\, m$ and its axle to be horizontal).

$A$ small cube with mass $M$ starts at rest at point $1$ at a height $4R$,where $R$ is the radius of the circular part of the track. The cube slides down the frictionless track and around the loop. The force that the track exerts on the cube at point $2$ is nearly ......... times the cube's weight $mg$.

$A$ stone of mass $1 \ kg$ tied to a light inextensible string of length $L = \frac{5}{3} \ m$ is rotating in a circular path of radius $L$ in a vertical plane. If the ratio of maximum tension in the string to the minimum tension in the string is $3$,the speed of the stone at the highest point of the circle is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

As shown in the figure, a mass $m$ and another block of mass $10m$ are connected with a string of length $L$. Friction is sufficient to prevent the slipping of the $10m$ block. Mass $m$ is given a velocity $u$ in the vertical direction. For the complete circular motion of mass $m$:

$A$ bullet of mass $m$ strikes a pendulum-bob of mass $M$ with velocity $u$. It passes through it and emerges out with a velocity $u/2$ from the bob. The length of the pendulum is $\ell$. What should be the minimum value of $u$,if the pendulum-bob will swing through a complete circle?
