To determine the MI of an object, we can use torsional pendulum method. If the torsional constant of the apparatus (a disc suspended by the thread) is C=16 Nm rad-1. If the empty torsional pendulum (without the man) has a time period T0=2 s and that with the man is T=2.5 s, find the MI of the man. (Take π2=10)

A uniform disc of mass m and radius R is connected with two light springs 1 and 2. The springs are connected at the highest point M and the CM 'N' of the disc. The other ends of the springs are rigidly attached with vertical walls. If we shift the CM in horizontal by a small distance, the disc oscillates simple harmonically. Assuming a perfect rolling of the disc on the horizontal surface, find the angular frequency of oscillation.

A stepped disc of mass M and radius R is pivoted at its center C smoothly. An inextensible string connected with a light spring of stiffness k passes over the pulley. One end of the string is rigidly connected with the ground and the other end is attached to a body of mass m. If the string does not slide on the pulley, find the angular frequency of oscillation of the system.
