Important Questions on Motion of System of Particles and Rigid Body

Two uniform rods of equal length but different masses are rigidly joined to form an - shaped body, which is then pivoted as shown in figure. If the given configuration in equilibrium then ratio will be :-

Reason: Moment of inertia is always different for the different axis of rotation.

A uniform rod of length and mass is free to rotate in a vertical plane about . The rod initially in a horizontal position is released. The initial angular acceleration of the rod is (Moment of inertia of the rod about is )


Assertion : If the momentum of a particle is constant, then its angular momentum will also be constant
Reason : When net external force on an object is zero, then external torque on the object will also be zero.

A particle is moving uniformly along a straight line as shown in the figure. During the motion of the particle from to , the angular momentum of the particle about
