A uniform rod of length is released from rest such that it rotates about a smooth pivot. Find the angular speed of the rod when it becomes vertical.



Important Questions on Rigid Body Dynamics: Part 2


A uniform disc of mass is fitted (pivoted smoothly) with a rod of mass . If the bottom of the rod is pulled with a velocity , it moves without changing its angle of orientation and the disc rolls without sliding. Find the kinetic energy of the system .

The steel balls and have a mass of each and are rotating about the vertical axis with an angular velocity of at a distance of from the axis. Collar is now forced down until the balls are at a distance of from the axis. How much work must be done to move the collar down?

A cylinder of mass is rotated about its axis by an angular velocity and lowered gently on an inclined plane as shown in figure. Then:

Figure shows a smooth inclined plane fixed in a car accelerating on a horizontal road. The angle of incline is related to the acceleration of the car as . If the sphere is set in pure rolling on the incline,

A sphere is moving on a smooth surface with linear speed and angular velocity It finds a rough inclined surface and it starts climbing up:

A sphere, a ring and a disc of same mass and radius are allowed to roll down three similar sufficiently rough inclined planes as shown in the figure from same height.
Which of the following order is true for final of the bodies?
