Three identical spherical shells, each of mass m and radius r, are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis XX’, which is touching two shells and passes through the diameter of the third shell. The moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spherical shells about the XX' axis is:
1.mr2
2. 3mr2
3. mr2
4. 4mr2
When a mass is rotating in a plane about a fixed point, its angular momentum is directed along:
1. | a line perpendicular to the plane of rotation |
2. | the line making an angle of \(45^\circ\) to the plane of rotation |
3. | the radius |
4. | the tangent to the orbit |
A circular platform is mounted on a frictionless vertical axle. Its radius is R = 2m and its moment of inertia about the axle is 200 kg m2. Initially, it is at rest. A 50 kg man stands on the edge of the platform and begins to walk along the edge at a speed of 1 m s–1 relative to the ground. The time taken by the man to complete one revolution is:
