Two thin circular discs of mass m and 4m, having radii of a and 2a,respectively, are rigidly fixed by a massless, rigid rod of length l=24a through their centers. This assembly is laid on a firm and flat surface, and set rolling without slipping on the surface so that the angular speed about the axis of the rod is ω. The angular momentum of the entire assembly about the point'O'is L (see the figure). Which of the following statement (s) is (are) true ?

A stationary pulley carries a rope whose one end supports a ladder with a man and the other end the counterweight of mass M. The man of mass m climbs up a distance l' with respect to the ladder and then stops. Neglecting the mass of the rope and the friction in the pulley axle, find the displacement l of the centre of inertia of this system.

A ball moving translationally collides elastically with another, stationary, ball of the same mass. At the moment of impact, the angle between the straight line passing through the centre of the balls and the direction of the initial motion of the striking ball is equal to α=45°. Assuming the balls to be smooth, find the fraction η of the kinetic energy of the striking ball that turned into potential energy at the moment of the maximum deformation.
