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.

A circular disc of radius r has a uniform thickness.  A circular hole of diameter equal to the radius of the disc has been cut out as shown.  The centre of gravity of the remaining disc lies on the diameter of the disc at a distance x to the left of the centre of the original disc.  The value of x is

A wheel is rotating about an axis through its centre at \(720~\text{rpm}.\) It is acted upon by a constant torque opposing its motion for \(8\) seconds to bring it to rest finally. The value of torque in \((\text{N-m })\) is:
(given \(I=\frac{24}{\pi}~\text{kg.m}^2)\) 
1. \(48\)
2. \(72\)
3. \(96\)
4. \(120\)

Assertion : The speed of whirlwind in a tornado is alarmingly high.

Reason    : If no external torque acts on a body, its angular velocity remains conserved.

1. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

3. If assertion is true but reason is false.

4. If both assertion and reason are false.

A circular disc A of radius r is made from an iron plate of thickness t and another circular disc B of radius 2r and thickness $\frac{\mathrm{t}}{4}$. The relation between moments of inertia ${\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and ${\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{B}}$ is

1.  ${\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{A}} > {\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{B}}$

2.  ${\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{A}} = {\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{B}}$

3.  ${\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{A}} < {\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{B}}$

4.  Depends on the actual values of t and r
