  1. Consider a fly wheel whose mass M is distributed almost equally between a heavy, ring-like rim of radius P and a concentric disk-like feature of radius R/2. Other parts of the flywheel, such as spokes, etc, have negligible mass. The best approximation for α, if the moment Of inertia of the flywheel about its axis of rotation is expressed as αMR2, is _______.

  1. The rod PQ of length L = 2 m and uniformly distributed mass of M = 10 kg, is released from rest at the position shown in the figure. The ends slide along the friction less faces OP and OQ. Assume acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2. The mass moment of inertia of the rod about its centre of mass and an axis perpendicular to the plane of the figure is (ML2/12). At this instant, the magnitude of angular acceleration (in radian/s2) of the rod is ______.'
