$A$ thin rod $MN$,free to rotate in the vertical plane about the fixed end $N$,is held horizontal. When the end $M$ is released,the speed of this end,when the rod makes an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal,will be proportional to (see figure):

$A$ rod of length $1 \ m$ is held vertically and allowed to fall such that its lower end remains fixed on the ground. The velocity of the other end of the rod when it hits the ground is ......... $m/s$ $(g = 9.8 \ m/s^2)$.

$A$ uniform solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$ can freely rotate around its axis $O$. There is an elastic string of relaxed length $L$ and stiffness $K$ attached to the cylinder and a static wall. Initially,the string is relaxed. As the cylinder starts rotating,the string will wind around the cylinder. The surface of the cylinder is very rough,so the string does not slip on the cylinder's surface. The minimum initial angular speed of the cylinder,${\omega _0}$,so that it can rotate through an angle $2\pi$ is (Assume Hooke's law to be valid.)
