A uniform solid sphere of radius is rolling on a smooth horizontal surface with velocity and angular velocity . The sphere collides with a sharp edge on the wall as shown in figure. The coefficient of friction between the sphere and the edge . Just after the collision the angular velocity of the sphere becomes equal to zero. The linear velocity of the sphere just after the collision is equal to

A conical pendulum consists of a simple pendulum moving in a horizontal circle as shown. is the pivot, the centre of the circle in which the pendulum bob moves and the constant angular velocity of the bob. If is the angular momentum about point , then


A solid sphere of mass is lying at rest on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the ground and sphere is . The maximum value of , so that the sphere will not slip, is equal to







A system of uniform cylinders and plates is shown in figure. All the cylinders are identical and there is no slipping at any contact. Velocity of lower & upper plate is respectively as shown in figure. Then the ratio of angular speed of the upper cylinders to lower cylinders is
