A solid cube of wood of side and mass is resting on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The cube is free to rotate about a fixed axis A bullet of mass and speed is shot horizontally at the face opposite to at a height of from the surface to impart the cube and angular speed It strikes the face and embeds in the cube. Then is close to (note: the moment of inertia of the cube about an axis perpendicular to the face and passing through the center of mass is .)




Important Questions on Rotational Motion




A uniform rectangular plate of mass which is free to rotate about the smooth vertical hinge passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plate is lying on a smooth horizontal surface. A particle of mass moving with speed collides with the plate and sticks to it as shown in the figure. The angular velocity of the plate after the collision will be


A hollow tilted cylindrical vessel of negligible mass rests on a horizontal plane as known. The diameter of the base is a and the side of the cylinder makes an angle with the horizontal. Water is then slowly poured into the cylinder. The cylinder topples over when the water reaches a certain height given by-
