$A$ uniform rod of length $l$ and mass $m$ is pivoted at point $A$. The rod is released from a horizontal position. If the moment of inertia of the rod about point $A$ is $ml^2/3$,then its initial angular acceleration is:

  • A
    $\frac{mg}{2l}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2}gl$
  • C
    $\frac{3g}{2l}$
  • D
    $\frac{2g}{3l}$

$A$ crew of scientists has built a new space station. The space station is shaped like a wheel of radius $R,$ with essentially all its mass $M$ at the rim. When the crew arrives,the station will be set rotating at a rate that causes an object at the rim to have radial acceleration $g,$ thereby simulating Earth's surface gravity. This is accomplished by two small rockets,each with thrust $T$ newtons,mounted on the station's rim. How long a time $t$ does one need to fire the rockets to achieve the desired condition?

$A$ pulley of radius $1.5\,m$ is rotated about its axis by a force $F = (12t - 3t^2)\,N$ applied tangentially (where $t$ is measured in seconds). If the moment of inertia of the pulley about its axis of rotation is $4.5\,kg\cdot m^2$,the number of rotations made by the pulley before its direction of motion is reversed will be $\frac{K}{\pi}$. The value of $K$ is $.....$

The angular momentum of a wheel changes from $2L$ to $5L$ in $3$ seconds. The magnitude of the torque acting on the wheel is:
