A wheel whose moment of inertia is 12 ${\mathrm{Kgm}}^2$ 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 ${\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ 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

A constant torque acting on a uniform circular wheel changes its angular momentum from ${\mathrm{A}}_0$ to $4 {\mathrm{A}}_0$ in 4s. The magnitude of this torque is 

1. $\frac{3{\mathrm{A}}_0}{4}$

2. $4 {\mathrm{A}}_0$

3. ${\mathrm{A}}_0$

4. $12 {\mathrm{A}}_0$

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. 

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 solid cylinder rolls down an inclined plane that has friction sufficient to prevent sliding. The ratio of rotational energy to total kinetic energy is

1.  $\frac{1}{2}$

2.  $\frac{1}{3}$

3.  $\frac{2}{3}$

4.  $\frac{3}{4}$

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

An inclined plane makes an angle of $30°$ with the horizontal. A solid sphere rolling down this inclined plane from rest without slipping has a linear acceleration equal to

1.  $\frac{g}{3}$

2.  $\frac{5g}{7}$

3.  $\frac{2g}{3}$

4.  $\frac{5g}{14}$

The figure shows a small wheel fixed coaxially on a bigger one of double the radius. The system rotates about the common axis. The strings supporting A and B do not slip on the wheels. If x and y be the distances traveled by A and B in the same time interval, then
                          
1. x-2y

2. x = y

3. y=2x

4. none of these
