A disc placed on a frictionless horizontal plank is rotating with a constant angular velocity about its central vertical axis. Now the plank is made to move with a constant acceleration on a straight path. If you assume initial location of the centre of disc as origin, direction of motion of the plank in negative -axis of the coordinate system attached with the plank, which of the following equations represent trajectroy of instantaneous centre of rotation of the disc.

Important Questions on Rotational Motion
A rigid massless rod of length has two masses attached at each end as shown in the figure. The rod is pivoted at point on the horizontal axis. When released from the initial horizontal position, its instantaneous angular acceleration will be

A uniform string of length is suspended from a rigid support. A short wave pulse is introduced at its lowest end. It starts moving up the string. The time taken to reach the support is
(Take, )


Consider regular polygons with number of sides as shown in the figure. The center of mass of all the polygons is at height from the ground. They roll on a horizontal surface about the leading vertex without slipping and sliding as depicted. The maximum increase in height of the locus of the center of mass for each polygon is . Then, depends on and as

A transverse wave propagating along -axis is represented by
where is in meters and is in seconds. The speed of the wave is

A mass is supported by a massless string wound around a uniform hollow cylinder of mass m and radius R. If the string does not slip on the cylinder, with what acceleration will the mass fall on release?


A uniform rod of length ' is pivoted at one of its ends on a vertical shaft of negligible radius. When the shaft rotates at angular speed the rod makes an angle with it (see figure). To find equate the rate of change of angular momentum (direction going into the paper) about the centre of mass (CM) to the torque provided by the horizontal and vertical forces and about the CM. The value of is then such that:


The transverse displacement at position and time in a string due to a travelling wave is given by , where is in centimeters and is in seconds. Which of the following statements is wrong?



As shown in the figure, a bob of mass is tied to a massless string whose other end portion is wound on a fly wheel (disc) of radius and mass When released from rest the bob starts falling vertically. When it has covered a distance of the angular speed of the wheel will be:
