Three point masses, each of mass , are situated at the three corners of an equilateral triangle of each side . The moment of inertia of this system about one of the sides of the triangle will be


Important Questions on Rotational Motion
The uniform rod of mass and length is pivoted at its end and swings freely in the vertical plane. Angular acceleration of rod just after the rod is released from rest in the horizontal position as shown in figure is

Uniform rod is hinged at the end in a horizontal position as shown in the figure (the hinge is frictionless, that is, it does not exert any friction force on the rod). The other end of the rod is connected to a block through a massless string as shown. The pulley is smooth and massless. Masses of the block and the rod are same and are equal to Acceleration due to gravity is The tension in the thread and angular acceleration of the rod just after the release of block from this position.


A small block of mass is rigidly attached at to a ring of mass and radius . The system is released from rest at and rolls without sliding. The angular acceleration of the ring just after release is

A spherical rigid ball is released from rest and starts rolling down an inclined plane from height as shown in the figure. It hits a block at rest on the horizontal plane (assume elastic collision). If the mass of both the ball and the block is and the ball is rolling without sliding, then the speed of the block after collision is close to
(take )


Two masses are moving perpendicular to the rod of mass with velocities as shown in the figure. The length of the rod is . Find the ratio of the final velocity of the rod and its angular velocity if the masses stop at their place after collision.
