$A$ metal sphere of radius $r$ and specific heat $S$ is rotated about an axis passing through its centre at a speed of $n$ rotations per second. It is suddenly stopped and $50 \%$ of its energy is used in increasing its temperature. Then,the rise in temperature of the sphere is

$A$ ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ sliding with a velocity $v_0$ suddenly enters a rough surface where the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,as shown in the figure. Choose the correct alternative$(s)$.

$A$ rod of mass $m$ and length $l$ is hinged at one end to a horizontal floor and stands vertically. If it is allowed to fall,the velocity with which its upper end strikes the floor is:

$A$ projectile of mass $3m$ explodes at the highest point of its path. It breaks into three equal parts. One part retraces its path,the second one comes to rest. The distance of the third part from the point of projection when it finally lands on the ground is ........$m.$ (The range of the projectile was $100\,m$ if no explosion would have taken place.)

$A$ uniform body of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has a small mass $m$ attached at its edge as shown in the figure. The system is placed on a perfectly rough horizontal surface such that mass $m$ is at the same horizontal level as the centre of the body. It is assumed that there is no slipping at point $A$. If $I_A$ is the moment of inertia of the combined system about the point of contact $A$,then the normal reaction at point $A$ just after the system is released from rest is ........ $N$. ($M = 6 \ kg$,$m = 2 \ kg$,$I_A = 4 \ kg \ m^2$,$R = 1 \ m$,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
