A wheel whose moment of inertia is 12 has an initial angular velocity of 40 rad/sec. A constant torque of 20 Nm acts on the wheel. The time in which the wheel is accelerated to 100 rad/sec is
1. 72 seconds
2. 16 seconds
3. 8 seconds
4. 36 seconds
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 to 10 rev is approximately
1. 1.5 x J
2. 3.0 x J
3. 1.5 x J
4. 3.0 x J

A body rolls down an inclined plane without slipping. The fraction of total energy associated with its rotation will be
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.
In the following figure, a weight W is attached to a string wrapped round a solid cylinder of mass M mounted on a frictionless horizontal axle at O.
If the weight starts from rest and falls a distance h, then its speed at that instant is
1. Proportional to \(\text R\)
2. Proportional to \(1 \over R\)
3. Proportional to \(1 \over R^2\)
4. Independent of \(\text R\)

A swimmer while jumping into water from a height easily forms a loop in the air, if
1. | He pulls his arms and legs in |
2. | He spreads his arms and legs |
3. | He keeps himself straight |
4. | None of the above |
Assertion : A ladder is more apt to slip when you are high up on it than when you just begin to climb
Reason : At the high point on a ladder, the torque is large and on climbing up the torque is small
