A planet of mass is in an elliptical orbit about the sun with an orbital period . If be the area of orbit, then its angular momentum would be

If force acts on a particle having position vector then, the torque about the origin will be:

A particle of mass M tied to a string of length L is rotating along a circular path with constant speed . The torque on the particle is

A force acts on a body at a point having position vector relative to origin of coordinates on the axis of rotation. If the torque acting on the body about origin is , then find the value of (in SI units). [Given, and are in SI units]

Which relation is not correct of the following?

When a tree is cut, the cut is made on the side facing the direction in which the tree is required to fall. Why?

A time varying torque is applied on an object about a pivot. Change in angular momentum of body till time is:

If net external torque, about a point, acting on the system is zero, then we can surely say

A uniform rod of mass and length lies on a smooth horizontal plane. A particle of mass moving at a speed perpendicular to the length of the rod strikes it at a distance of from the centre and stops after the collision. The angular velocity of the rod about its centre just after the collision is
