A horizontal platform is rotating with uniform angular velocity around the vertical axis passing through its centre. At some instant of time a viscous fluid of mass 'm' is dropped at the centre and is allowed to spread out and finally fall. The angular velocity during this period

2. Decreases initially and increases again

3. Remains unaltered

4. Increases continuously

3. \(\frac{L}{\sqrt{3}}\)
4. \(\frac{L}{\sqrt{2}}\)

A solid sphere, a hollow sphere, and a disc, all having the same mass and radius, are placed at the top of a smooth incline and released. Least time will be taken in reaching the bottom by  

The moments of inertia of two freely rotating bodies A and B are $I_A and I_B$ respectively. $I_A>I_B$ and their angular momenta are equal. If $K_A and K_B$ are their kinetic energies, then

Point masses ${\mathrm{m}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{m}}_2$ are placed at the opposite ends of a rigid of length L and negligible mass. The rod is to be set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it.
