Consider a disc of mass $5 \,kg$ and radius $2 \,m$, rotating with an angular velocity of $10 \,rad/s$ about an axis perpendicular to the plane of rotation and passing through its center. An identical disc is placed gently over the rotating disc along the same axis. The energy dissipated so that both the discs continue to rotate together without slipping is . . . . . . $J$.

If the mass of the Earth is kept constant and its radius is reduced to half, then the duration of the day will become ........ $hr$.

In the absence of torque,the rotational frequency of a body changes from $1 \text{ cy/sec}$ to $16 \text{ cy/sec}$. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the two cases will be: (in $: 1$)

$A$ circular disc is rotating with an angular velocity $\omega$. If a child sits on the disc,which of the following quantities will be conserved?

$A$ uniform rod of length $6L$ and mass $8m$ is pivoted at its centre $C$. Two masses $m$ and $2m$ with speeds $2v$ and $v$ respectively,as shown in the figure,strike the rod and stick to it. Initially,the rod is at rest. If it rotates with angular velocity $\omega$ due to the impact,then $\omega$ will be:

$A$ space station consists of two living modules attached to a central hub on opposite sides by long corridors of equal length $L$. Each living module contains $N$ astronauts of equal mass $m$. The mass of the space station structure is negligible compared to the mass of the astronauts,and the size of the central hub and living modules is negligible compared to the length of the corridors. Initially,the space station is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ such that the astronauts feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g = \omega^2 L$. Two astronauts,one from each module,move into the central hub. The remaining astronauts now feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g'$. What is the ratio $g'/g$ in terms of $N$?
