$A$ rigid body rotates about a fixed axis with variable angular velocity equal to $\alpha - \beta t$,where $t$ is time and $\alpha, \beta$ are constants. Find the angle (in radians) through which it rotates before it stops.

Two masses $m$ and $2m$ are connected by a light string passing over a pulley (disc) of mass $M = 30m$ and radius $r = 0.1 \ m$. The pulley is mounted in a vertical plane and is free to rotate about its axis. The $2m$ mass is released from rest. Find its speed when it has descended through a height of $h = 3.6 \ m$. (Assume the string does not slip and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ thin but rigid semicircular wire frame of radius $r$ is hinged at $O$ and can rotate in its own vertical plane. $A$ smooth peg $P$ starts from $O$ and moves horizontally with constant speed $v_0$,lifting the frame upward as shown in the figure. Find the angular velocity $\omega$ of the frame when its diameter makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical.
