Important Questions on Motion of System of Particles and Rigid Body
From a circular disc of radius and mass , a small disc of radius is removed, Fig. 11.159. The moment of inertia of the remaining disc about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc and passing through is





A uniform rod of length and mass is free to rotate about point . The rod is released from rest in the horizontal position. Given that the moment of inertia of the rod about is , the initial angular acceleration of the rod will be

Consider a body, shown in figure, consisting of two identical balls, each of mass connected by a light rigid rod. If an impulse is imparted to the body at one of its ends, what would be its angular velocity ?

Let be the force acting on a particle having position vector and be the torque of this force about the origin. Then
