$A$ uniform thin wooden plank $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is kept on a table with its $B$ end slightly outside the edge of the table. When an impulse $J$ is given to the end $B$,the plank moves up with the centre of mass rising a distance $h$ from the surface of the table. Then,

  • A
    $h > 9 J^{2} / 8 M^{2} g$
  • B
    $h = J^{2} / 2 M^{2} g$
  • C
    $J^{2} / 2 M^{2} g < h < 9 J^{2} / 8 M^{2} g$
  • D
    $h < J^{2} / 2 M^{2} g$

$A$ uniform circular disc of radius $R$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane, is rotating with an angular velocity $\omega$ about its own axis. Another identical circular disc is gently placed on top of the first disc coaxially. The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to friction between the two discs, as they acquire a common angular velocity, is ($I$ is the moment of inertia of the disc).

$A$ rigid uniform bar $AB$ of length $L$ is slipping from its vertical position on a frictionless floor (as shown in the figure). At some instant of time,the angle made by the bar with the vertical is $\theta$. Which of the following statements about its motion is/are correct?
$[A]$ The midpoint of the bar will fall vertically downward
$[B]$ The trajectory of the point $A$ is a parabola
