Two small balls with masses $m$ and $2m$ are attached to both ends of a rigid rod of length $d$ and negligible mass. If the angular momentum of this system is $L$ about an axis $(A)$ passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to the rod,then the angular velocity of the system about $A$ is:

Consider a body shown in the figure,consisting of two identical balls,each of mass $M$,connected by a light rigid rod of length $L$. If an impulse $J = MV$ (where $V$ is the linear velocity of a ball) is imparted to the body at one of its ends,what would be its angular velocity?

In the given figure,$r_1$ and $r_2$ are $10 \ cm$ and $20 \ cm$ respectively. If the moment of inertia of the wheel is $1500 \ kg \cdot m^2$,find the angular acceleration.
