$A$ non-uniform cylinder of mass $m$,length $l$,and radius $r$ has its center of mass at a distance $l/4$ from the geometric center,lying on the axis of the cylinder. The cylinder is kept in a liquid of uniform density $\rho$. The moment of inertia of the cylinder about its center of mass is $I$. The angular acceleration of the cylinder just after it is released from the horizontal position shown in the figure is:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi \rho g l^2 r^2}{I}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi \rho g l^2 r^2}{4I}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi \rho g l^2 r^2}{2I}$
  • D
    $\frac{3\pi \rho g l^2 r^2}{4I}$

$A$ thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizontal surface and is free to move in any way on the surface. Its mass is $0.300 \, kg$ and length is $2 \, m$. Two particles,each of mass $0.100 \, kg$,are moving on the same surface towards the two ends of the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar. One particle moves with a velocity of $10 \, m/s$ towards one end,and the other moves with a velocity of $5 \, m/s$ towards the other end. If the collision between the particles and the bar is completely elastic and both particles strike the bar simultaneously,find the velocity of the centre of mass of the bar after the collision in $m/s$.

$A$ 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 $\mu$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along the side of a square of side '$a$',with a uniform speed $v$ in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is false for the angular momentum $\vec L$ about the origin?

$A$ block of mass $m = 1 \, kg$ slides with velocity $v = 6 \, m/s$ on a frictionless horizontal surface and collides with a uniform vertical rod and sticks to it as shown. The rod is pivoted about $O$ and swings as a result of the collision,making an angle $\theta$ before momentarily coming to rest. If the rod has mass $M = 2 \, kg$ and length $l = 1 \, m$,the value of $\theta$ is approximately (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$) (in $^{\circ}$)
