$A$ point mass $m$ is attached to one end of a string passing through a cylindrical tube. The string is held in hand,and the point mass moves in a horizontal circle of radius $r_1 = 2 \ m$ with a speed of $v_1 = 4 \ m/s$. The string is then pulled down so that the radius is reduced to $r_2 = 1 \ m$. Calculate the new linear velocity,angular velocity,and the ratio of the final kinetic energy to the initial kinetic energy.

If a body has a moment of inertia $I$ and an angular velocity $\omega \, rad/s$,then what is the value of its angular momentum $L$?

Find the components along the $x, y, z$ axes of the angular momentum $\vec{l}$ of a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r}$ with components $x, y, z$ and momentum is $\vec{p}$ with components $p_x, p_y, p_z$. Show that if the particle moves only in the $x-y$ plane,the angular momentum has only a $z$-component.

$A$ particle is moving uniformly along a straight line as shown in the figure. During the motion of the particle from $A$ to $B$,the angular momentum of the particle about '$O$' is:

$A$ particle of mass $100\,g$ is projected at time $t = 0$ with a speed $20\,ms^{-1}$ at an angle $45^{\circ}$ to the horizontal as given in the figure. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the particle about the starting point at time $t = 2\,s$ is found to be $\sqrt{K}\,kg\,m^2/s$. The value of $K$ is $............$ (Take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$)
