$A$ solid sphere of mass $m$,radius $R$,having moment of inertia about an axis passing through its center of mass as $I$ is recast into a disc of thickness $t$ whose moment of inertia about an axis passing through the rim (edge) and perpendicular to its plane remains $I$. Then the radius of the disc is:

State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(1)$ The angular acceleration of an object rotating with a constant angular velocity is always zero.
$(2)$ An object can have a moment of inertia without energy.
$(3)$ The radius of gyration of an object is a constant quantity.
$(4)$ $A$ figure skater spins faster when they pull their arms in because their moment of inertia decreases.

Two masses of $0.3 \, kg$ and $0.7 \, kg$ are attached to the ends of a rod of length $1.4 \, m$ and negligible mass. The rod is rotated about an axis perpendicular to its length with a constant angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass so that the work required to rotate the rod is minimum is:

$A$ thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizontal surface and is free to move in any way on the surface. Its mass is $0.300 \, kg$ and length is $2 \, m$. Two particles,each of mass $0.100 \, kg$,are moving on the same surface towards the two ends of the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar. One particle moves with a velocity of $10 \, m/s$ towards one end,and the other moves with a velocity of $5 \, m/s$ towards the other end. If the collision between the particles and the bar is completely elastic and both particles strike the bar simultaneously,find the velocity of the centre of mass of the bar after the collision in $m/s$.

Seven identical circular planar disks,each of mass $M$ and radius $R$,are welded symmetrically as shown. The moment of inertia of the arrangement about the axis normal to the plane and passing through the point $P$ is:
