A bob of mass m attached to an inextensible string of length l is suspended from vertical support.  The bob rotates in a horizontal circle with an angular speed $\mathrm{\omega }$ $\mathrm{rad}/\mathrm{s}$ about the vertical.  About the point of suspension.

In free space, a rifle of mass \(M\) shoots a bullet of mass \(m\) at a stationary block of mass \(M\) at a distance \(D\) away from it. When the bullet has moved through a distance \(d\) towards the block, the centre of mass of the bullet-block system is at a distance of:
1. \(\frac{D-d}{M+m}~\text{from the bullet}\)
2. \(\frac{md+ MD}{M+m}~\text{from the block}\)
3. \(\frac{2md+ MD}{M+m}~\text{from the block}\)
4. \(\frac{(D-d)M}{M+m}~\text{from the bullet}\)

Blocks A and B are resting on a smooth horizontal surface given equal speeds of 2 m/s in the opposite sense as shown in the figure.

At t = 0, the position of blocks are shown, then the coordinates of centre of mass at t = 3s will be

2.  (3, 0)

3.  (5, 0)

4.  (2.25, 0)

A flywheel is in the form of a uniform circular disc of radius 1 m and mass 2 kg. The work which must be done on it to increase its frequency of rotation from 5 rev ${\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ to 10 rev ${\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ is approximately

1.  1.5 x ${10}^2$ J

2.  3.0 x ${10}^2$ J

3.  1.5 x ${10}^3$ J

4.  3.0 x ${10}^3$ J

Two discs are rotating about their axes, normal to the discs and passing through the centres of the discs. Disc D${}_1$ has 2 kg mass and 0.2 m radius and initial angular velocity of 50 rad s${}^{-1}$. Disc D${}_2$ has 4 kg mass, 0.1 m radius and initial angular velocity of 200 rad s${}^{-1}$. The two discs are brought in contact face to face, with their axes of rotation coincident. The final angular velocity (in rad.s${}^{-1}$) of the system is

1. 60

2. 100

3. 120

4. 40

A body rolls down an inclined plane without slipping. The fraction of total energy associated with its rotation will be

$1. {\mathrm{K}}^2+ {\mathrm{R}}^2$
$2. \frac{{\mathrm{K}}^2}{{\mathrm{R}}^2}$
$3. \frac{{\mathrm{K}}^2}{{\mathrm{K}}^2+ {\mathrm{R}}^2}$
$4. \frac{{\mathrm{R}}^2}{{\mathrm{K}}^2+ {\mathrm{R}}^2}$

Where k is radius of gyration of the body about an axis passing through centre of mass and R is the radius of the body.
