Statement-I: Two cylinders, one hollow (metal) and the other solid (wood), with the same mass and identical dimensions, are simultaneously allowed to roll without slipping down an inclined plane from the same height. The hollow cylinder will reach the bottom of the inclined plane first.

and

Statement-2: By the principle of conservation of energy, the total kinetic energies of both the cylinders are identical when they reach the bottom of the incline.

A thin uniform rod, pivoted at O, is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed ω, as shown in the figure. At times, t=0, a small insect starts from O and moves with a constant speed v with respect to the rod towards the other end. It reaches the end of the rod at t=T and stops. The angular speed of the system remains ω throughout. The magnitude of the torque τ on the system about O, as a function of time, is best represented by which plot?

The figure shows a system consisting of (i) a ring of outer radius 3R rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed ω and (ii) an inner disc of radius 2R rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed ω2. The ring and disc are separated frictionless ball bearings. The system is in the x-z plane. The point P on the inner disc is at distance R from the origin O, where OP makes an angle of 30º with the horizontal. Then with respect to the horizontal surface,

A uniform circular disc of mass 50 kg and radius 0.4 m is rotating with an angular velocity of 10 rad s-1 about its own axis, which is vertical. Two uniform circular rings, each of mass 6.25 kg  and radius 0.2 m, are gently placed symmetrically on the disc in such a manner that they are touching each other along the axis of the disc and are horizontal. Assume that the friction is large enough such that the rings are at rest relative to the disc and the system rotates about the original axis. The new angular velocity (in rad s-1) of the system is
