- An impulse J is exerted on a rod of mass m and
length L at a distance x from the C.M. Find the
value of x at which the net velocity of point P is
zero. - A cockroach of mass m is moving on the rim of a
disc with velocity v in the anticlockwise direction.
The moment of inertia of the disc about its own
axis is I and it is rotating in the clockwise direction
with angular speed

The two uniform discs rotate separately on parallel
axles. The upper disc (radius a and momentum of
inertia
I 1 ) is given an angular velocity 0 and the
lower disc of (radius b and momentum of inertia
I 2 ) is at rest. Now the two discs are moved together
so that their rims touch. Final angular velocity of
the upper disc is

From impulse = change in linear momentum, we
have
J = mv v = J/m
Between the two positions shown in the figure,
force of friction on the ring acts backwards.
Angular momentum of the ring about bottom most
