A pulley of radius is rotated about its axis by a force Newton (where, is measured in seconds) applied tangentially. If the moment of inertia of the pulley about its axis of rotation is the number of rotations made by the pulley before its direction of motion is reversed, is


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



A roller is made by joining together two cones at their vertices It is kept on two rails and which are placed asymmetrically (see figure), with its axis perpendicular to and its centre at the centre of line joining and (see figure). It is given a light push so that it starts rolling with its centre moving parallel to in the direction shown. As it moves, the roller will tend to


A slender uniform rod of mass and length is pivoted at one end so that it can rotate in a vertical plane (see figure). There is negligible friction at the pivot. The free end is held vertically above the pivot and then released. the angular acceleration of the rod when it makes an angle with the vertical is

Seven identical circular planar disks, each of mass and radius are welded symmetrically as shown. The moment of inertia of the arrangement about the axis normal to the plane and passing through the point is

From a uniform circular disc of radius and mass , a small disc of radius is removed as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the remaining disc about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc and passing through centre of disc is:
