The total angular momentum of all particles of a system is conserved if:

Two identical beads are placed at vertex $A$ of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ made of a uniform wire. The triangle is rotated about the axis $AO$. The beads are then released from rest and move along $AB$ and $AC$ respectively (see figure). Neglecting friction,which of the following quantities will be conserved during the downward motion of the beads?

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are $0.1 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $10 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively,while those for the second one are $0.2 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $5 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively. At some instant,they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The kinetic energy of the combined system is ........... $J$.

$A$ stone of mass $m$,tied to the end of a string,is whirled around in a circle on a horizontal frictionless table. The length of the string is reduced gradually,keeping the angular momentum of the stone about the centre of the circle constant. Then,the tension in the string is given by $T = Ar^n$,where $A$ is a constant and $r$ is the instantaneous radius of the circle. The value of $n$ is equal to

Two discs with moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating about collinear axes passing through their centers of mass and perpendicular to their planes. If they are joined together to rotate about the same axis,the rotational kinetic energy of the system will be:
