A child is standing at one end of a long trolley moving with a speed $v$ on a smooth horizontal floor. If the child starts running towards the other end of the trolley with a speed $u,$ the centre of mass of the system (trolley + child) will move with a speed.

A smooth uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ has two identical beads of negligible size, each of mass $m$ , which can slide freely along the rod. Initially the two beads are at the centre of the rod and the system is rotating with angular velocity $\omega _0$ about its axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its mid-point (see figure). There are no external forces. When the beads reach the ends of the rod, the angular velocity of the system is

Five masses each of $2\, kg$ are placed on a horizontal circular disc, which can be rotated about a vertical axis passing through its centre and all the masses be equidistant from the axis and at a distance of $10\, cm$ from it. The moment of inertia of the whole system (in $gm-cm^2$) is (Assume disc is of negligible mass)
