System of Particles and Rotational Motion

A cord of negligible mass is wound around the rim of a wheel supported by spokes with negligible mass. The mass of wheel is 10 kg and radius is 10 cm and it can freely rotate without any friction. Initially the wheel is at rest. If a steady pull of 20 N is applied on the cord, the angular velocity of the wheel, after the cord is unwound by 1 m, would be: [figure]

1. 20 rad/s
2. 30 rad/s
3. 10 rad/s
4. 0 rad/s

The moment of inertia of a circular ring of mass M and diameter r about a tangential axis lying in the plane of the ring is :

2. 2Mr2
3. 12Mr2
4. 32Mr2

The center of mass of a thin rectangular plate (fig - x) with sides of length a and b, whose mass per unit area ( ) varies as = 0 xab (where 0 is a constant), would be . [figure]

A uniform rod of mass 250 g having length 100 cm is balanced on a sharp edge at 40 cm mark. A mass of 400 g is suspended at 10 cm mark. To maintain the balance of the rod, the mass to be suspended at 90 cm mark, is

1. 290 g
2. 200 g
3. 190 g
4. 300 g
