Two discs are rotating about their axes, normal to the discs and passing through the centres of the discs. Disc D1 has 2 kg mass and 0.2 m radius and initial angular velocity of 50 rad s-1. Disc D2 has 4 kg mass, 0.1 m radius and initial angular velocity of 200 rad s-1. The two discs are brought in contact face to face, with their axes of rotation coincident. The final angular velocity (in rad s-1) of the system is

2. 100
3. 120
4. 40

A circular platform is mounted on a frictionless vertical axle. Its radius R = 2 m and its moment of inertia about the axle is 200 kg m2. It is initially at rest. A 50 kg man stands on the edge of the platform and begins to walk along the edge at the speed of 1 m s-1 relative to the ground. Time taken by the man to complete one revolution is

1. s
2. 3 2 s
3. 2 s
4. 2 s

3. the radius
4. the tangent to the orbit

Two persons of masses 55 kg and 65 kg respectively, are at the opposite ends of a boat. The length of the boat is 3.0 m and weighs 100 kg. The 55 kg man walks up to the 65 kg man and sits with him. If the boat is in still water the centre of mass of the system shifts by:

1. 3.0 m
2. 2.3 m
3. zero
4. 0.75 m
