Important Questions on Rigid Body Dynamics: Part 1
A uniform circular disc of radius has a sector of angle removed from it. Mass of the remaining disc is . Write the moment of inertia of the remaining disc about the axis shown in figure.

A uniform rectangular plate has side length and . The plate lies in - plane with its centre at origin and sides parallel to - and -axes. The moment of inertia of the plate about an axis passing through a vertex (say ) perpendicular to the plane of the figure is . Now the axis is shifted parallel to itself so that moment of inertia about it remains . Write the locus of point of intersection of the axis with - plane.

A beam of weight supports a block of weight The length of the beam is and weight is at a distance from the left end of the beam. The beam rests on two rigid supports at its ends. Find the reactions of the supports.

A uniform rod of length and mass is hung from two strings of equal length from a ceiling as shown in figure. Determine the tensions in the strings.




A uniform ladder of length and mass rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes an angle with the horizontal.
(a) Find the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when a firefighter of mass is at a distance from the bottom.
(b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is a distance from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground?
