The Moon revolves around the Earth in an orbit of radius $R$ with a time period of revolution $T$. It also rotates about its own axis with a time period $T$. If the mass of the Moon is $M$ and its radius is $r$,the total kinetic energy of the Moon is:

  • A
    $\frac{2 M \pi^2 R^2}{T^2} + \frac{4 M r^2 \pi^2}{5 T^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{M \pi^2 R^2}{2 T^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{4 M r^2 \pi^2}{5 T^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{M \pi^2 R^2}{2 T^2} + \frac{4 M r^2 \pi^2}{5 T^2}$

$A$ cord of negligible mass is wound around the rim of a wheel supported by spokes with negligible mass. The mass of the wheel is $10 \ kg$ and the radius is $10 \ cm$. It can rotate freely without any friction. Initially,the wheel is at rest. If a steady pull of $20 \ N$ is applied on the cord,the angular velocity (in $rad/s$) of the wheel,after the cord is unwound by $1 \ m$,would be:

The angular velocity of a body is $\vec{\omega} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ and a torque $\vec{\tau} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ acts on it. The rotational power will be .......... $W$.

When $12000 \ J$ of work is done on a flywheel,its frequency of rotation increases from $10 \ Hz$ to $20 \ Hz$. The moment of inertia of the flywheel about its axis of rotation is (take $\pi^2=10$):
