Four identical solid spheres each of mass and radius are placed with their centres on the four corners of a square of side . The moment of inertia of the system about one side of square where the axis of rotation is parallel to the plane of the square is :


Important Questions on Rotational Motion

Two masses and , each of mass are fixed together by a massless spring, A force acts on the mass as shown in figure. If the mass starts moving away from mass with acceleration , then the acceleration of mass will be :

A bead of mass stays at point on a wire bent in the shape of a parabola and rotating with angular speed (see figure). The value of is (neglect friction)

Shown in the figure is rigid and uniform one meter long rod held in horizontal position by two strings tied to its ends and attached to the ceiling. The rod is off mass and has another weight of mass hung at a distance of from . The tension in the string at is:

A uniform cylinder of mass and radius is to be pulled over a step of height by applying a force at its centre perpendicular to the plane through the axes of the cylinder on the edge of the step (see figure). The minimum value of required is:


A square shaped hole of side is carved out at a distance from the centre of a uniform circular disk of radius . If the distance of the centre of mass of the remaining portion from is , value of (to the nearest integer) is :
