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. $12 {\mathrm{A}}_0$

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. 

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

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

If a gymnast, sitting on a rotating stool, with his arms outstretched, suddenly lowers his hands

1.  the angular velocity increases

2.  his moment of inertia increases

3.  the angular velocity stays constant

4.  the angular momentum increases
