One end of a rod of length is fixed to a point on the circumference of a wheel of radius The other end is sliding freely along a straight channel passing through the center of the wheel as shown in the figure below. The wheel is rotating with a constant angular velocity (in radian per second) about
The speed of the sliding end when is

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 .)
