IMPORTANT
The vector sum of a system of non-collinear forces acting on a rigid body is given to be non-zero. If the vector sum of all the torques due to the system of forces about a certain point is found to be zero, does this mean that it is necessarily zero about any arbitrary point?

Two cylindrical hollow drums of radii R and 2R and of common height h are rotating with angular velocities ω (anticlockwise) and 2ω (clockwise), respectively. Their axes, fixed are parallel and in a horizontal plane separated by 3R+δ. They are now brought in contact δ0

(a) Show the frictional forces just after contact.
(b) Identify forces and torques external to the system just after contact.
(c) What would be the ratio of final angular velocities when friction ceases?

The mass of a sphere placed on a smooth horizontal surface is distributed non-uniformly. A horizontal force equal to the weight of the sphere is applied at distance a from the centre of the sphere, for a short time. The sphere is rotated by an angle θ, but it behaves as if in a stable equilibrium. Find the distance between the centre and CG of the sphere.
