$A$ horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis through its centre makes $90$ revolutions per minute. $A$ small piece of wax of mass $m$ falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance $r$ from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute reduces to $60$,then the moment of inertia of the disc is .........

  • A
    $m r^2$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2} m r^2$
  • C
    $2 m r^2$
  • D
    $3 m r^2$

Assertion $:-$ When no external torque is applied and moment of inertia of a rotating body changes,then its angular momentum remains conserved,but its kinetic energy changes.
Reason $:-$ Angular momentum does not depend upon moment of inertia of the body.

The angular momentum of a system of particles is not conserved:

$A$ mouse of mass $m$ jumps on the outside edge of a rotating ceiling fan of moment of inertia $I$ and radius $R$. The fractional loss of angular velocity of the fan as a result is

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are $0.1 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $10 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively,while those for the second one are $0.2 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $5 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively. At some instant,they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The kinetic energy of the combined system is ........... $J$.

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Four objects,each of mass $m$,are kept gently on the opposite ends of two perpendicular diameters of the ring. The new angular velocity of the ring will be:
