Relation Between Angular Momentum, Moment of Inertia and Angular Velocity
Important Questions on Relation Between Angular Momentum, Moment of Inertia and Angular Velocity
Two particles of masses and are joined by a light rigid rod of length . The system rotates at an angular speed about an axis through the centre of mass of the system and perpendicular to the rod. Show that the angular momentum of the system, , where, is the reduced mass of the system defined as
.

A uniform square plate of mass and edge rotates about one of its diagonals under the action of a constant torque of . Calculate the kinetic energy(in ) of the plate at the end of the fifth second after the start.

The density of a rod gradually decreases from one end to the other. It is pivoted at an end, so that it can move about a vertical axis through the pivot. A horizontal force is applied on the free end in a direction perpendicular to the rod. The quantities that do not depend on which end of the rod is pivoted are
