$A$ uniform rod of mass $m$ and length $l$ hinged at its end is released from rest when it is in the horizontal position. The normal reaction at the hinge when the rod becomes vertical is:

$A$ metal sphere of radius $r$ and specific heat $S$ is rotated about an axis passing through its centre at a speed of $n$ rotations per second. It is suddenly stopped and $50 \%$ of its energy is used in increasing its temperature. Then, the rise in temperature of the sphere is

$A$ rod of length $1\,m$ is standing vertically. When its upper end is released and it falls such that the lower end touches the ground without slipping,the speed of the upper end when it hits the ground is:

$A$ bar of length $L$ carrying a small mass $m$ at one of its ends rotates with a uniform angular speed $\omega$ in a vertical plane about the midpoint of the bar. During the rotation, at some instant of time when the bar is horizontal, the mass is detached from the bar but the bar continues to rotate with the same $\omega$. The mass moves vertically up, comes back, and reaches the bar at the same point. At that place, the acceleration due to gravity is $g$.

$A$ disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is free to rotate about its vertical axis as shown in the figure. $A$ battery-operated motor of negligible mass is fixed to this disc at a point on its circumference. Another disc of the same mass $M$ and radius $R/2$ is fixed to the motor's thin shaft. Initially,both the discs are at rest. The motor is switched on so that the smaller disc rotates at a uniform angular speed $\omega$. If the angular speed at which the large disc rotates is $\omega/n$,then the value of $n$ is. . . . .

Two masses of $0.3 \, kg$ and $0.7 \, kg$ are attached to the ends of a rod of length $1.4 \, m$ and negligible mass. The rod is rotated about an axis perpendicular to its length with a constant angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass so that the work required to rotate the rod is minimum is:
