$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table. $A$ small particle of mass $m$ strikes the rod with a velocity $v_0$ at point $C$ at a distance $x$ from the centre $O$. The particle comes to rest after the collision. The value of $x$ such that point $A$ of the rod remains stationary just after the collision is:

  • A
    $L/3$
  • B
    $L/6$
  • C
    $L/4$
  • D
    $L/12$

$A$ bullet of mass $10\, g$ and speed $500\, m/s$ is fired into a door and gets embedded exactly at the centre of the door. The door is $1.0\, m$ wide and weighs $12\, kg$. It is hinged at one end and rotates about a vertical axis practically without friction. The angular speed of the door just after the bullet embeds into it will be

$A$ man is sitting in a smooth groove on a horizontal circular table at the edge by holding a rope joined to the centre. The moment of inertia of the table is $I$. The mass of the man is $M$. The man now pulls the rope so that he comes to the centre. The angular velocity of the table:

$A$ simple pendulum of length $\ell$ is displaced so that its taut string is horizontal and then released. $A$ uniform bar of length $L$ pivoted at one end is simultaneously released from its horizontal position. If their motions are synchronous (i.e.,they have the same angular velocity at any angle $\theta$ below the horizontal), what is the length $L$ of the bar?

$A$ uniform cube of mass $m$ and side $a$ is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ vertical force $F$ is applied to the edge as shown in the figure. Match the following (most appropriate choice):
