Important Questions on Motion of System of Particles
Three identical spherical shells, each of mass and radius are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis which is touching the two shells and passing through the diameter of the third shell. The moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spherical shells about axis is:


A solid cube of wood of side and mass is resting on a horizontal surface as shown below.
The cube is free to rotate about the fixed axis . A bullet of mass and speed is shot horizontally at the face opposite to at a height above the surface to impart the cube an angular speed , so that the cube just topples over. Then, is (Note the moment of inertia of the cube about an axis perpendicular to the face and passing through the center of mass is )







Two identical spherical balls of mass and radius each are stuck on two ends of a rod of length and mass (see figure). The moment of inertia of the system about the axis passing perpendicularly through the centre of the rod is



Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass and radius about axes (passing through its plane) and Z-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be and , respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
Reason R: A rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:




Which one of the following four graphs best depict the variation with of the moment of inertia of a uniform triangular lamina about an axis parallel to its base at a distance from it

A mass is supported by a massless string wound around a uniform hollow cylinder of mass m and radius R. If the string does not slip on the cylinder, with what acceleration will the mass fall on release?
