$A$ solid sphere and a disc of the same radius are released from the same height on an inclined plane and they reach the bottom of the plane at different times. This is due to their:

  • A
    Different radii of gyration
  • B
    Different shapes
  • C
    Different moments of inertia
  • D
    Both $(a)$ and $(c)$

$A$ sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is attached by a light rod of length $l$ to a point $P$. The sphere rolls without slipping on a circular track as shown. It is released from the horizontal position. The angular momentum of the system about $P$ when the rod becomes vertical is:

Two identical rings $A$ and $B$ of same mass $M$ and radius $R$ are revolving. Ring $A$ revolves around its own diameter, and ring $B$ revolves about a tangential axis in its own plane. Both rings $A$ and $B$ have the same rotational kinetic energy. The ratio of the angular velocity of ring $B$ $(\omega_B)$ to that of ring $A$ $(\omega_A)$ is:
