If the earth suddenly stops revolving and all its rotational $KE$ is used up in raising its temperature and if $s$ is taken to be the specific heat of the earth's material,the rise of temperature of the earth will be: ($R =$ radius of the earth and $\omega =$ its angular velocity,$J =$ Joule's constant)

  • A
    $\frac{R^2 \omega^2}{5Js}$
  • B
    $\frac{R^2 \omega^2}{5J}$
  • C
    $\frac{R^2 \omega}{5Js}$
  • D
    $\frac{R^2 \omega^2}{5s}$

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?

$A$ $2 \, kg$ steel rod of length $0.6 \, m$ is clamped on a table vertically at its lower end and is free to rotate in a vertical plane. The upper end is pushed so that the rod falls under gravity. Ignoring the friction due to clamping at its lower end,the speed of the free end of the rod when it passes through its lowest position is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \, ms^{-1}$. (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)

The graphs below show angular velocity $\omega$ as a function of time $t$. In which one is the magnitude of the angular acceleration $\alpha$ constantly decreasing?

$A$ thin uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane with angular velocity $\omega$. Another disc of same mass but half the radius is gently placed over it coaxially. The angular speed of the composite disc will be :
