$A$ uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is attached to two identical massless springs of spring constant $k$ which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance $d$ from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in a horizontal plane. The unstretched length of each spring is $L$. The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass $(CM)$ at a distance $L$ from the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity $\vec{V}_0 = V_0 \hat{i}$. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$.

$(A) -kx$ $(B) -2kx$ $(C) -\frac{2kx}{3}$ $(D) -\frac{4kx}{3}$
$2.$ The centre of mass of the disk undergoes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency $\omega$ equal to

$A$ ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ sliding with a velocity $v_0$ suddenly enters a rough surface where the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,as shown in the figure. Choose the correct alternative$(s)$.

Three solid spheres each of mass $m$ and diameter $d$ are stuck together such that the lines connecting the centres form an equilateral triangle of side length $d$. The ratio $I_{0} / I_{A}$ of the moment of inertia $I_{0}$ of the system about an axis passing through the centroid and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle,to the moment of inertia $I_{A}$ about an axis passing through the center of any one of the spheres and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle,is:

One of two identical cylinders,cylinder $A$,rotates at an angular speed of $50 \text{ revolutions per second}$. This rotating cylinder is brought into contact with a second stationary cylinder,$B$. Due to kinetic friction between the two cylinders,the stationary cylinder starts rotating with an angular acceleration,while cylinder $A$ undergoes angular deceleration. If the magnitude of the angular acceleration for both cylinders is $1 \text{ revolution per second}^2$,after how many seconds $(t)$ will the angular speeds of both cylinders become equal?
