Torques of equal magnitude are applied to a hollow cylinder and a solid sphere, both having the same mass and radius. The cylinder is free to rotate about its standard axis of symmetry, and the sphere is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre. The angular velocity of the solid sphere is:

1. more than the angular velocity of the hollow cylinder. 
2. less than the angular velocity of the hollow cylinder. 
3. equal to the angular velocity of the hollow cylinder. 
4. none of these.

The oxygen molecule has a mass of \(5.30\times 10^{-26}~\text{kg}\) and a moment of inertia of \(1.94\times 10^{-46}~\text{kg m}^2\) about an axis through its center perpendicular to the lines joining the two atoms. Suppose the mean speed of such a molecule in a gas is \(500~\text{m/s}\) and that its kinetic energy of rotation is two-thirds of its kinetic energy of translation. The average angular velocity of the molecule is:
1. \(5.7\times 10^{11}~\text{rad/s}\)
2. \(5.7\times 10^{12}~\text{rad/s}\)

A man stands on a rotating platform, with his arms stretched horizontally holding a \(5~\text{kg} \) weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is \(30\) revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms close to his body with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from \(90~\text{cm}\) to \(20~\text{cm}.\) The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to \( 7.6~\text{kg}~\text{m}^2.\) What is his new angular speed?
1. \(60~\text{rev/min}\)
2. \(57.0~\text{rev/min}\)
