A thin rod of uniform cross section is made up of two sections made of wood and steel. The wooden section has length $50 \mathrm{~cm}$ and mass $0.6 \mathrm{~kg}$. The steel section has length $30 \mathrm{~cm}$ and mass $3 \mathrm{~kg}$. Find the moment of inertia of the rod about a transverse axis passing through the junction of the two sections.

The frequency of revolution of a particle performing circular motion changes from $60 \mathrm{rpm}$ to $180 \mathrm{rpm}$ in 20 seconds. Calculate the angular acceleration of the particle.
Calculate the moment of inertia of a ring of mass $500 \mathrm{~g}$ and radius $0.5 \mathrm{~m}$ about an axis of rotation passing through (i) its diameter (ii) a tangent perpendicular to its plane.
A string of length $0.5 \mathrm{~m}$ carries a bob of mass $0.1 \mathrm{~kg}$ at its end. If this is to be used as a conical pendulum of period $0.4 \pi \mathrm{s}$, calculate the angle of inclination of the string with the vertical and the tension in the string.
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.
Find the ratio of the radius of gyration of a solid sphere about its diameter to the radius of gyration of a hollow sphere about its tangent, given that both the spheres have the same radius.
A motorcyclist is describing a circle of radius $25 \mathrm{~m}$ at a speed of $5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. Find his inclination with the vertical. What is the value of the coefficient of friction between the tyres and ground ?
A uniform horizontal disc is freely rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre at the rate of $180 \mathrm{rpm}$.
