A man stands on a rotating platform with his arms stretched holding a 5 kg weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is 1.2 rev s^-1 . The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to 6 kg m^2 . If the man brings his arms close to his chest with the distance n each weight from the axis changing from 100 cm to 20 cm . The new angular speed of the platform is.

A point p moves in counter - clockwise direction on a circular path as shown in the figure . The movement of 'p' is such that it sweeps out in the figure . The movement of 'p' is such that it sweeps out a length s = t^(3) + 5 , where s is in metres and t is in seconds . The radius of the path is 20 m . The acceleration of 'P' when t = 2 s is nearly .

A circular platform is mounted on a vertical frictionless axle. Its radius is r = 2 m and its moment of inertia I = 200 kg m^2 . It is initially at rest. A 70 kg man stands on the edge of the platform and begins to walk along the edge at speed v_0 = 1 m s^-1 relative to the ground. The angular velocity of the platform is: a) 1.2 rad/s b) 0.4 rad/s c) 0.7 rad/s d) 2 rad/s

A platform is moving upwards with a constant acceleration of 2 m s^-2 . At time t = 0 , a boy standing on the platform throws a ball upwards with a relative speed of 8 m s^-1 . At this instant, platform was at the height of 4 m from the ground and was moving with a speed of 2 m s^-1 . Take g = 0 m s^-2 . Find (a) when and where the ball strikes the platform. (b) the maximum height attained by the ball from the ground. ( c) the maximum distance of the ball from the platform.

A boy is standing on a platform which is free to rotate about its axis. The boy holds an open umbrella in his hand. The axis of the umbrella coincides with tht of the platform.
