$A$ metre stick is pivoted about its centre. $A$ piece of wax of mass $20 \,g$ travelling horizontally and perpendicular to it at $5 \,m/s$ strikes and adheres to one end of the stick so that the stick starts to rotate in a horizontal circle. Given the moment of inertia of the stick and wax about the pivot is $0.02 \,kg \cdot m^2$,the initial angular velocity of the stick is ........... $rad/s$.

$A$ small disk is attached to the end of a light inextensible string,which passes through a hole in a frictionless horizontal tabletop. Initially,the disk moves on a circle of radius $R$ with kinetic energy $K_0$. The string is then slowly pulled so that the disk finally rotates on a circle of radius $\frac{R}{\eta}$. What is the work $W$ done in pulling the string?
