A thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega $ . Two objects each of mass $m$ are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity

$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table. $A$ small particle of mass $m$ strike the rod with a velocity $v_0$ at point $C$ a distance $x$ from the centre $O$. The particle comes to rest after collision. The value of $x$, so that point $A$ of the rod remains stationary just after collision, is :

Four forces are applied to a wheel of radius $10\,cm$ as shown in the figure. The net torque produced by all these forces about $C$ is

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
