    Ans: \(a=\frac{2}{3}g\).

  13. Toque of equal magnitudes are applied on a hollow cylinder and sold solid sphere, both having same masses and same radius. The cylinder is free to rotate its standard axis of the symmetry and the spheres is free to rotate about an axis passing through its cemtre. Which of the two will acquire a greater angular speed after a given time?

    Ans: \(a_{sphere}=a_{cylinder}\).

  14. A thin wire of length L and uniform linear mass density \(\rho\) is bent into a circular loop with centre at O as shown in below figure. What is the moment of inertia of the loop about its axis XX’?

    Ans: \(I=4MR^{2}\).

  16. A circular plate of uniform thickness has a diameter of \(56cm\). A circular portion of diameter of \(42cm\) is removed from one edge of the plate as shown in below figure. Find the position of the centre of mass of remaining portion.

    Ans: \(x=-9cm\).

  17. Initial angular velocity of a circular disc of mass M is \(\omega_{1}\). Then two small spheres of mass m are attached gently to two diametrically opposite points on the edge of the disc. What will be the final angular velocity of the disc?
