Statement-I: If there is no external torque on a body about its centre of mass, then the velocity of the centre of mass remains constant.

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 ?

Two identical buggies 1 and 2 with one man in each move without friction due to inertia along the parallel rails towards each other. When the buggies get opposite each other, the men exchange their places by jumping in the direction perpendicular to the motion direction. As a consequence, buggy 1 stops and buggy 2 keeps moving in the same direction, with its velocity becoming equal to v. Find the initial velocities of the buggies v1 and v2 if the mass of each buggy (without a man) equals M and the mass of each man, m.

Two identical buggies move one after the other due to inertia (without friction) with the same velocity v0. A man of mass m rides the rear buggy. At a certain moment, the man jumps into the front buggy with a velocity u relative to his buggy. Knowing that the mass of each buggy is equal to M, find the velocities with which the buggies will move after that.

Two men, each of mass m, stand on the edge of a stationary buggy of mass M. Assuming the friction to be negligible, find the velocity of the buggy after both men jump-off with the same horizontal velocity u relative to the buggy - 1 simultaneously, 2 one after the other. In what case will the velocity of the buggy be greater and how many times?

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.
