$A$ thin rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $m$ is held horizontally so that it can freely rotate in a vertical plane about the end $A$ as shown in the figure. The potential energy of the rod when it hangs vertically is taken to be zero. The end $B$ of the rod is released from rest from a horizontal position. At the instant the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal:

Which one of the following four graphs best depicts the variation with $x$ of the moment of inertia $I$ of a uniform triangular lamina about an axis parallel to its base at a distance $x$ from it?

$A$ thin rod of mass $M$ and length $a$ is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a fixed vertical axis passing through point $O$. $A$ thin circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $a/4$ is pivoted on this rod with its center at a distance $a/4$ from the free end so that it can rotate freely about its vertical axis,as shown in the figure. Assume that both the rod and the disc have uniform density and they remain horizontal during the motion. An outside stationary observer finds the rod rotating with an angular velocity $\Omega$ and the disc rotating about its vertical axis with angular velocity $4\Omega$. The total angular momentum of the system about the point $O$ is $\left(\frac{Ma^2\Omega}{48}\right) n$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .

$A$ $2 \, kg$ steel rod of length $0.6 \, m$ is clamped on a table vertically at its lower end and is free to rotate in a vertical plane. The upper end is pushed so that the rod falls under gravity. Ignoring the friction due to clamping at its lower end,the speed of the free end of the rod when it passes through its lowest position is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \, ms^{-1}$. (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)

$A$ pendulum consists of a bob of mass $m=0.1 \ kg$ and a massless inextensible string of length $L=1.0 \ m$. It is suspended from a fixed point at height $H=0.9 \ m$ above a frictionless horizontal floor. Initially,the bob of the pendulum is lying on the floor at rest vertically below the point of suspension. $A$ horizontal impulse $P=0.2 \ kg \cdot m/s$ is imparted to the bob at some instant. After the bob slides for some distance,the string becomes taut and the bob lifts off the floor. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the pendulum about the point of suspension just before the bob lifts off is $J \ kg \cdot m^2/s$. The kinetic energy of the pendulum just after the lift-off is $K$ Joules. $(1)$ The value of $J$ is. . . . . . $(2)$ The value of $K$ is. . . . . Give the answers of the questions $(1)$ and $(2)$.
