  • Q1 · Rotational Mechanics · HARD

    A uniform rod of length L and mass M is pivoted at one end and released from horizontal position. When it reaches the vertical position, the angular velocity ω and the hinge reaction R at the pivot are respectively:

  • Q2 · Rotational Mechanics · HARD

    A uniform solid cylinder of mass M and radius R is set into rotation about its axis with angular velocity ω₀. It is then placed on a rough horizontal surface (coefficient of friction μ). The time taken for pure rolling to begin is:

  • Q3 · Rotational Mechanics · HARD

    A uniform solid cylinder of mass M and radius R rolls without slipping down a rough inclined plane. The ratio of its rotational kinetic energy to its total kinetic energy at any instant is:

  • Q4 · Rotational Mechanics · MEDIUM

    A uniform solid cylinder of mass M and radius R rolls without slipping down a rough inclined plane of inclination θ. What is the acceleration of the center of mass of the cylinder?
