$A$ thin rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $m$ is held horizontally so that it can freely rotate in a vertical plane about the end $A$ as shown in the figure. The potential energy of the rod when it hangs vertically is taken to be zero. The end $B$ of the rod is released from rest from a horizontal position. At the instant the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal:

Two discs $A$ and $B$ are mounted coaxially on a vertical axle. The discs have moments of inertia $I$ and $2I$ respectively about the common axis. Disc $A$ is imparted an initial angular velocity $2\omega$ using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance $x_1$. Disc $B$ is imparted an angular velocity $\omega$ by a spring having the same spring constant and compressed by a distance $x_2$. Both the discs rotate in the clockwise direction.
$1.$ The ratio of $x_1/x_2$ is
$(A)$ $2$ $(B)$ $1/2$ $(C)$ $\sqrt{2}$ $(D)$ $1/\sqrt{2}$
$2.$ When disc $B$ is brought in contact with disc $A$,they acquire a common angular velocity in time $t$. The average frictional torque on one disc by the other during this period is
$(A)$ $\frac{2I\omega}{3t}$ $(B)$ $\frac{9I\omega}{2t}$ $(C)$ $\frac{9I\omega}{4t}$ $(D)$ $\frac{3I\omega}{2t}$
$3.$ The loss of kinetic energy during the above process is
$(A)$ $\frac{I\omega^2}{2}$ $(B)$ $\frac{I\omega^2}{3}$ $(C)$ $\frac{I\omega^2}{4}$ $(D)$ $\frac{I\omega^2}{6}$

$A$ uniform rod of length $l$ is pivoted at one of its ends on a vertical shaft of negligible radius. When the shaft rotates at angular speed $\omega$,the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with it (see figure). To find $\theta$,equate the rate of change of angular momentum (direction going into the paper) $\frac{m l^{2}}{12} \omega^{2} \sin \theta \cos \theta$ about the centre of mass $(CM)$ to the torque provided by the horizontal and vertical forces $F_{H}$ and $F_{V}$ about the $CM$. The value of $\theta$ is then such that:
