$A$ flywheel rotates about an axis. Due to friction at the axis,it experiences an angular retardation proportional to its angular velocity. If its angular velocity falls to half while it makes $n$ rotations,how many more rotations will it make before coming to rest?

$A$ man is sitting in a smooth groove on a horizontal circular table at the edge by holding a rope joined to the centre. The moment of inertia of the table is $I$. The mass of the man is $M$. The man now pulls the rope so that he comes to the centre. The angular velocity of the table:

$A$ 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:
