A rod of length is pivoted at one end. It is raised such that it makes an angle of from the horizontal as shown and released from rest. Its angular speed when it passes through the horizontal (in ) will be


Four particles and with masses and are at the corners of a square. They have accelerations of equal magnitude with directions as shown. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the particles is:



A uniform rectangular thin sheet of mass has length and breadth , as shown in the figure. If the shaded portion is cut-off, the coordinates of the centre of mass of the remaining portion will be:

A solid sphere and solid cylinder of identical radii approach an incline with the same linear velocity (see figure). Both roll without slipping all throughout. The two climb maximum heights and on the incline. The ratio is given by:
