$A$ thin rod $MN$,free to rotate in the vertical plane about the fixed end $N$,is held horizontal. When the end $M$ is released,the speed of this end,when the rod makes an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal,will be proportional to (see figure):

  • A
    $\sqrt{\cos \alpha}$
  • B
    $\cos \alpha$
  • C
    $\sin \alpha$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\sin \alpha}$

Write the formula of work done by torque in a rotational rigid body about a fixed axis.

To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of $200 \; rad \; s^{-1}$,an engine needs to transmit a torque of $180 \; N \; m$. What is the power required by the engine (in $; kW$)? (Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice,applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is $100 \%$ efficient.
