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 :
There is no external force so centre of mass of the system will not shift.

A rod is of length $$3\,m$$ and its mass acting per unit length is directly proportional to distance $$x$$ from its one end. The centre of gravity of the rod from that end will be at
A rod lying along any of coordinate axes serves for us as continuous body.
Suppose a rod of mass $$M$$ and length $$L$$ is lying along the $$x$$-axis with its one end at $$x = 0$$ and the other at $$x = L.$$
Mass per unit length of the rod $$ = \frac{M}{L}$$
Hence, the mass of the element $$PQ$$ of length $$dx$$ situated at $$x = x$$ is $$dm = \frac{M}{L}dx$$
The coordinates of the element $$PQ$$ are $$\left( {x,0,0} \right).$$ Therefore, $$x$$-coordinate of centre of gravity of the rod will be
$${x_{CG}} = \frac{{\int_0^L x dm}}{{\int {dm} }} = \frac{{\int_0^L {\left( x \right)\left( {\frac{M}{L}} \right)} dx}}{M} = \frac{1}{L}\int_0^L x dx = \frac{L}{2}$$
but as given, $$L = 3\,m$$
$$\therefore {x_{CG}} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5\,m$$
The $$y$$-coordinate of centre of gravity
$${y_{CG}} = \frac{{\int {y\,dm} }}{{\int {dm} }} = 0\,\,\left( {{\text{as}}\,y = 0} \right)$$
Similarly, $${z_{CG}} = 0$$
i.e., the coordinates of centre of gravity of the rod are $$\left( {1.5,0,0} \right)$$ or it lies at the distance $$1.5\,m$$ from one end.

Four identical thin rods each of mass $$M$$ and length $$l,$$ form a square frame. Moment of inertia of this frame about an axis through the centre of the square and perpendicular to its plane is :
Moment of inertia of a thin rod of length $$l$$ about an axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the rod $$ = \frac{1}{{12}}M{l^2}.$$
Thus moment of inertia of the frame.
$$\frac{{m{l^2}}}{{12}} + \frac{{m{l^2}}}{4} = \frac{{4m{l^2}}}{{12}} = \frac{{m{l^2}}}{3}$$
Total $$M.I. = 4 \times \frac{{m{l^2}}}{3}$$

A solid cylinder of mass $$50\,kg$$ and radius $$0.5\,m$$ is free to rotate about the horizontal axis. A massless string is wound round the cylinder with one end attached to it and other hanging freely. Tension in the string required to produce an angular acceleration of $$2\,rev/{s^2}$$ is
Given, $$m = 50\,kg,\,r = 0.5\,m,\,\alpha = 2\,rev/{s^2}$$
⇒ Torque produced by the tension in the string
$$ = T \times r = T \times 0.5 = \frac{T}{2}N - m\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
We know $$\tau = I\alpha \,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), $$\frac{T}{2} = I\alpha $$
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{M{R^2}}}{2}} \right) \times \left( {2 \times 2\pi } \right)rad/{s^2}\,\,\left[ {{\text{because }}{I_{{\text{Solid}}\,{\text{cylinder}}}} = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2}} \right] \cr
& \frac{T}{2} = \frac{{50 \times {{\left( {0.5} \right)}^2}}}{2} \times 4\pi \cr
& T = 50 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 4\pi = 50\,\pi = 157\,N \cr} $$

The free end of a thread wound on a bobbin is passed round a nail $$A$$ hammered into the wall. The thread is pulled at a constant velocity. Assuming pure rolling of bobbin, find the velocity $${v_0}$$ of the centre of the bobbin at the instant when the thread forms an angle $$\alpha $$ with the vertical.
When the thread is pulled, the bobbin rolls to the right.
Resultant velocity of point $$B$$ along the thread is $$v = {v_0}\sin \alpha - \omega r,$$ Where $${v_0}\sin \alpha $$ is the component of translational velocity along the thread and $$\omega r$$ linear velocity due to rotation. As the bobbin rolls without slipping, $${v_0} = \omega R.$$ Solving the obtained equations, we get $${v_0} = \frac{{vR}}{{R\sin \alpha - r}}$$

A hoop of radius $$r$$ and mass $$m$$ rotating with an angular velocity $${\omega _0}$$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. The initial velocity of the centre of the hoop is zero. What will be the velocity of the centre of the hoop when it ceases to slip?
From conservation of angular momentum about any fix point on the surface,
$$\eqalign{
& m{r^2}{\omega _0} = 2m{r^2}\omega \cr
& \Rightarrow \omega = \frac{{{\omega _0}}}{2} \cr
& \Rightarrow v = \frac{{{\omega _0}r}}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\left[ {\because v = r\omega } \right] \cr} $$

$$O$$ is the centre of an equilateral $$\Delta ABC.$$ $${F_1},{F_2}$$ and $${F_3}$$ are three forces acting along the sides $$AB,\,BC$$ and $$AC$$ as shown in figure. What should be the magnitude of $${F_3},$$ so that the total torque about $$O$$ is zero?
Let $$r$$ be the perpendicular distance of $${F_1},{F_2}$$ and $${F_3}$$ from $$O$$ as shown in figure.
The torque of force $${F_3}$$ about $$O$$ is clockwise, while torque due to $${F_1}$$ and $${F_2}$$ are anticlockwise.
For total torque to be zero about $$O,$$ we must have $${F_1}r + {F_2}r - {F_3}r = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow {F_3} = {F_1} + {F_2}$$

Seven identical circular planar disks, each of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$ are welded symmetrically as shown. The moment of inertia of the arrangement about the axis normal to the plane and passing through the point $$P$$ is:
Using parallel axes theorem, moment of inertia about $$‘O'$$
$$\eqalign{
& {I_o} = {I_{cm}} + m{d^2} \cr
& = \frac{{7M{R^2}}}{2} + 6\left( {M \times {{\left( {2R} \right)}^2}} \right) = \frac{{55M{R^2}}}{2} \cr} $$
Again, moment of inertia about point $$P,\,{I_p} = {I_o} + m{d^2}$$
$$ = \frac{{55M{R^2}}}{2} + 7M{\left( {3R} \right)^2} = \frac{{181}}{2}M{R^2}$$

A thin circular ring of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis vertical to its plane with a constant angular velocity $$\omega .$$ If two objects each of mass $$m$$ be attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring, the ring will then rotate with an angular velocity
A
$$\frac{{\omega \left( {M - 2m} \right)}}{{M + 2m}}$$
Apply parallel axes theorem of moment of inertia.
According to question by applying conservation of angular momentum $${I_1}{\omega _1} = {I_2}{\omega _2}$$
In the given case $${I_1} = M{R^2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {I_2} = M{R^2} + 2m{R^2} \cr
& {\omega _1} = \omega \cr} $$
Then, $${\omega _2} = \frac{{{I_1}}}{{{I_2}}}\omega = \frac{M}{{M + 2m}}\omega $$

A ring of mass $$m$$ and radius $$r$$ rotates about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with angular velocity $$\omega .$$ Its kinetic energy is
Kinetic energy of rotation of a body is the energy possessed by the body on account of its rotation about a given axis. If $$I$$ is the moment of inertia of the body about the given axis of rotation, $$\omega $$ is angular velocity of the body, then kinetic energy of rotation $${K_{{\text{rot}}}} = \frac{1}{2}I{\omega ^2}$$
Moment of inertia of the ring about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the ring and passing through its centre is $$I = m{r^2}$$
So, $${K_{{\text{rot}}}} = \frac{1}{2}m{r^2}{\omega ^2}$$
