A coin is placed on a stationary disc at a distance of $1 \mathrm{~m}$ from the disc's centre. At time $t=0$ $\mathrm{s}$, the disc begins to rotate with a constant angular acceleration of $2 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2$ around a fixed vertical axis through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. Find the magnitude of the linear acceleration of the coin at $t=1.5 \mathrm{~s}$. Assume the coin does not slip.

A flywheel slows down uniformly from $1200 \mathrm{rpm}$ to $600 \mathrm{rpm}$ in $5 \mathrm{~s}$. Find the number of revolutions made by the wheel in $5 \mathrm{~s}$.
Assuming the expression for the moment of inertia of a thin uniform disc about its diameter, show that the moment of inertia of the disc about a tangent in its plane is $\mathrm{MR}^2$. Write the expression for the corresponding radius of gyration.
A flywheel of mass $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ and radius $10 \mathrm{~cm}$, rotating with a uniform angular velocity of $5 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$, is subjected to a torque of $0.01 \mathrm{~N}$.m for 10 seconds. If the torque increases the speed of rotation, find (i) the final angular velocity of the flywheel (ii) the change in its angular velocity (iii) the change in its angular momentum (iv) the change in its kinetic energy.
A compound object is formed of a thin rod and a disc attached at the end of the rod. The rod is $0.5 \mathrm{~m}$ long and has mass $2 \mathrm{~kg}$. The disc has mass of $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ and its radius is $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. Find the moment of inertia of the compound object about an axis passing through the free end of the rod and perpendicular to its length.
A solid sphere of radius $R$, rotating with an angular velocity $\omega$ about its diameter, suddenly stops rotating and $75 \%$ of its $\mathrm{KE}$ is converted into heat. If $\mathrm{c}$ is the specific heat capacity of the material in SI units, show that the temperature of $3 \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{CO}^2$ the sphere rises by $\frac{3 R^2 \omega^2}{20 c}$.
A thin cylindrical shell of inner radius 1.5 m rotates horizontally, about a vertical axis, at an angular speed ω. A wooden block rests against the inner surface and rotates with it. If the coefficient of static friction between block and surface is 0.3, how fast must the shell be rotating if the block is not to slip and fall ?
A boy standing at the centre of a turntable with his arms outstretched is set into rotation with angular speed $\omega \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min}$. When the boy folds his arms back, his moment of inertia reduces to $\frac{2}{5}$ th its initial value. Find the ratio of his final kinetic energy of rotation to his initial kinetic energy.
A bucket of water is tied to one end of a rope $8 \mathrm{~m}$ long and rotated about the other end in a vertical circle. Find the number of revolutions per minute such that water does not spill.
