$m = 5kg, r = 30 \times 10^{-2}m, dL = 3kgm^2s^{-1}, t = 4 sec$.
Angular Impulse = dL = 3
We know, $\text{L}=\text{I}\omega$
$\therefore\text{dL}=3=\text{I}(\omega_{\text{f}}-\omega_{\text{i}})=\frac{1}{2}\text{mr}^2(\omega_{\text{f}-\omega_{\text{i}}})$
$3=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times(0.30)^2\times(\omega-0)$
Solving, $\omega=\frac{40}{3}\text{ rads}^{-1}$
Using $\omega=\omega_{\text{i}}+\alpha\text{t},\text{ we get}$
$\frac{40}{3}=0+\alpha(4)(\text{i.e.,})\alpha=\frac{10}{3}\text{ rads}^{-1}$
Since time gap between impulse acting is 4s, the impulse will go up to 32 s
$\therefore\omega=\omega_{\text{i}}+\alpha\text{t}=0\frac{10}{3}\times32=106.67\text{ rads}^{-1}$

Two particles of mass $2kg$ and $1kg$ are moving along the same line with speeds $2ms-1$ and $5ms^{-1}$ respectively. What is the speed of the centre of mass of the system if both the particles are moving (a) in same direction (b) in opposite direction?
Prove that the velocity v of translation of a rolling body (like a ring, disc, cylinder or sphere) at the bottom of an inclined plane of height h is given by:$\text{v}^2=\frac{2\text{gh}}{\big(1+\frac{\text{K}^2}{\text{R}^2}\big)}$
Note K is the radius of gyration of the body about its symmetry axis, and R is the radius of the body. The body starts from rest at the top of the plane.
