2019;
1. Which of the following formula is valid if the angular acceleration of an object
is not constant explain your reasoning in each case (a) 𝑣 = 𝑟𝜔 (b)𝑎 = 𝑟𝛼 (c)
𝜔 = 𝜔0 + 𝛼𝑡 (d) 𝑎 = 𝑟𝛼 2 ?
2. A flywheel rotates with constant angular velocity, does a point on its rim has
tangential acceleration ? radial acceleration ? are these acceleration constant
in magnitude and direction ? in each case give reasoning behind your answer.
3. What is the purpose of the spin cycle of a washing machine explain in terms
of acceleration components ?
4. Although angular velocity and angular acceleration are treated as vector but
angular displacement cannot be treated as vector what is the reason behind ?
5. can you think of a body that has the same moment of inertia for all possible
axes if so give an example and if it is not so explain why this is not possible ?
6. A cylindrical body has mass m and radius r can the match be distributed within
a body in such a way that its moment of inertia about the axis of symmetry is
greater than MR2
7. An airplane propeller is rotating at 1900 RPM, calculate the propeller angular
velocity in radian per second how many seconds does it take for the propeller
to turn through 35° ?
8. A sphere consists of a solid wooden ball of uniform density 800 kg per metre
cube calculate the moment of inertia of the sphere about an Axis passing
through its center.
9. Estimate your own moment of inertia about a vertical Axis through the center
of the top of your head and you are standing UP state with your arms
outstretched make reasonable approximation and measure of estimate
necessary quantities.
10.while redesigning a rocket engine you want to reduce its weight by replacing
a solid spherical pot with the hollow spherical shell of the same size deposited
about an Axis through the centre you need to make sure that the newport
always has the same rotational kinetic energy as the original pothead at any
given date of rotation if the original pothead ma'am what must be the mass of
the new called

(Good Luck Stds)
