Mass of the cylinder, m = 20 kg
Angular speed, = 100 rad/s
Radius of the cylinder, r = 0.25 m
The moment of inertia of the solid cylinder
I = (1/2) mr2 = (1/2) x 20 x (0.25)2 = 0.625 m2
Kinetic energy = (1/2)I 2 = (1/2) x 0.625 x (100)2 = 3125 J
Angular momentum, L = I = 0.625 x 100 = 62.5 Js

Let m and r be the mass and radius of the hollow cylinder and solid sphere.
The moment of inertia of the hollow cylinder about its standard axis, =I
The MI of the solid sphere about an axis passing through its centre, Is = (2/5) mr2
We know the relation = I , where
= angular acceleration
= torque
I = moment of inertia
For the hollow cylinder, =
For the solid sphere, =
Since the torque applied is same, = , we get
= = (mr2) /( (2/5) mr2 )) = 5/2
Hence ……(i)
Now using the relation
+ where
= initial angul

(a)

The moment of Inertia of a sphere about its diameter = 2MR 2/5
According to the theorem of parallel axis, the moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about a parallel axis passing through its centre of mass and the product of its mass and square of the distance between two parallel axes
Hence the moment of inertia about a tangent of the sphere = 2MR 2/5 + MR2 = 7MR 2/5
(b)

The moment of inertia of a disc about its diameter = MR 2/4
According to the theorem of perpendicular axis, the moment of inertia of a planar body about an axis perpendicular to its plane is equal to t

Mass of the car, m = 1800 kg
Distance between the front and rear axles, d = 1.8 m
Distance between C.G. and the front axle = 1.05 m
Let Rf and Rb be the force exerted from ground at front and rear axles respectively.
Rf + Rb = mg = 1800 x 9.8 N = 17640 N ……. (i)
For rotational equilibrium around C.G. we have Rf x 1.05 = Rb x (1.8 – 1.05)
Rf x 1.05 = Rb x 0.75
Rf/Rb = 0.75 / 1.05
Rf = 0.71 Rb ……. (ii)
From equation (i), we get
0.71 Rb + Rb = 17640
Rb = 10316 N
Rf = 7324 N
Therefore, force exerted on each front wheel = Rf/2 =7324/2 = 3662 N
Force exerted on each rear wheel, Rb/2 = 10316 / 2= 5158 N

A free body diagram needs to be drawn.

The length of the bar, l = 2 m
T1 and T2
At translational equilibrium, we have =
(T1 / T2) = ( / = 4/3
T1 = (4/3)T2
For rotational equilibrium, on taking the torque about the centre of gravity, we have
T1 x d = T2 (2-d)
T1 x 0.8d = T2 x 0.6 (2-d)
(4/3)T2 x 0.8d = T2 x 0.6 (2-d)
(4/3) x 0.8d = 0.6 (2-d)
1.07d = 1.2 – 0.6d
d = 0.72
So the c.g. of the given bar lies at 0.72 m from its left end.

Let at certain instant two particles be at points P and Q, as shown in the figure.
Angular momentum of the system about point P
= mv x 0 + mv x d = mvd ……. (i)
Angular momentum of the system about point Q
= mv x d + mv x 0 = mvd ……. (ii)
Consider a point R, which is at a distance y from point Q such that QR = y

PR = d – y
Angular momentum of the system about point R
= mv x (d – y) + mv x y = mvd – mvy + mvy = mvd ……. (iii)
Comparing equations (i), (ii) and (iii) we get
= = …… (iv)

The child is sitting on the trolley and there is no external force, hence it is a single system. The velocity of the centre of mass will not change, irrespective of any internal motion.

If mass of the H atom = m, mass of the Cl atom = 35.5m
Given x + y = 1,27 À
Let us assume that the centre of mass of the given molecule lies at the origin. Therefore,
We can have, : (my+35.5mx)/ (m+35.5m) = 0
mx + 35.5my = 0
x = 35.5 (1.27 – x)
x = 1.24 À
So the centre of mass lies 1.24 À from H atom
