A rigid body rotates about an axis through the origin with an angular velocity 10sqrt(3) rad/s. If omega points in the direction of hat(i)+hat(j)+hat(k) , then the equation to the locus of the points having tangential speed 20m/s.

A vector has both magnitude and direction. Does it mean that anything that has magnitude and direction is necessarily a vector ?The rotation of a body can be specified by the direction of the axis of rotation, and the angle of rotation about the axis. Does that make any rotation a vector ?

Point masses m_1 and m_2 are placed at the opposite ends of a rigid rod of length L, and nelgligible mass. The rod is to be set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it. Find the position on this rod through which the axis should pass in order that the work required to set the rod rotating with angular velocity omega_0 should be minimum.

Torques of equal magnitude are applied to a hollow cylinder and a solid sphere, both having the same mass and radius. Hie cylinder is free to rotate about its standard axis of symmetry, and the sphere is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre. Which of the two will acquire a greater angular speed after a given time.

A rigid body is spinning about a fixed point (3,-2,-1) with an angular velocity of 4 rad/s, the axis of rotation being in the direction of (1,2,-2). Find the velocity of the particle at point (4,1,1).

A solid cylinder of mass 2kg and radius 20 cm is rotating about its axis with a frequency (10//pi)Hz .The rotational kinetic energy of the cylinder is :
