If is the moment of inertia of a thin rod about an axis perpendicular to its length and passing through its centre of mass and is the moment of inertia of the ring about an axis perpendicular to plane of ring and passing through its centre formed by bending the rod, then


Important Questions on Rotation

A uniform rod of length is undergoing combined rotational and translational motions such that at some instant of time, velocities of its end point and centre are both perpendicular to the rod and opposite in direction, having magnitudes and , respectively as shown in the figure.
The velocity of centre and angular velocity of the rod remain constant.



A force is applied on the top of a cube as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the cube and the ground is If is gradually increased, the cube will topple before sliding, if

Two uniform rods of equal length but different masses are rigidly joined to form an shaped body, which is then pivoted as shown in figure. If in equilibrium the body is in the shown configuration, ratio will be

The figure shows a uniform rod lying along the axis. The locus of all the points lying on the plane, about which the moment of inertia of the rod is same as that about is
