Important Questions on Rotational Motion of a Rigid Body : Moment of Inertia
Two solid cylinders and of same mass and same radius start rolling down a fixed inclined plane from the same height at the same time. Cylinder has most of its mass concentrated near its surface, while has most its mass concentrated near the axis.

A boy is standing on a rotating table with dumbbells in his hand. He suddenly pulls the dumbbells towards his chest, the angular velocity of the table will:



A child is standing with folded hands at the centre of a platform rotating about its central axis. The kinetic energy of the system is . The child now stretches his arms so that moment of inertia of the system doubles. The kinetic energy of the system now is:

A thin circular ring of mass M and radius is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity . Two objects, each of mass , are attached gently to the opposite ends of the diameter of the ring. The wheel now rotates with an angular velocity

A thin ring of mass is rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane with velocity . A small ball of mass , moving with velocity in the opposite direction, hits the ring at a height of and goes vertically up with velocity immediately after the collision, choose the correct statement :
