A solid sphere of mass and radius is released from rest from the given position. If it rolls without sliding on the circular track of radius , its speed when it reaches its lowest position will be

A plate of mass is placed on a solid and a hollow spheres, each of mass . If the speed of the plate is , assuming pure rolling of the spheres with all the contacting surfaces, the kinetic energy of the system (Spheres Plate) will be

A particle is attached to the lower end of a uniform rod which is hinged at its other end, as shown in the figure. The minimum speed given to the particle, so that the rod performs circular motion in a vertical plane, will be [length of the rod is . Consider the masses of both rod and particle to be the same]

Two particles of masses and , interconnected by a uniform rigid rod of mass , move with velocities and , respectively. Find the momentum of the system .

Calculate the loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process.

Two discs of the moment of inertias and about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre), and rotating with angular speeds and are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident.
As a result, the energy of the system decreases. Which force is responsible for this loss in energy?
