A rigid massless rod of length 3l has two masses attached at each end as shown in the figure. The rod is pivoted at point P on the horizontal axis (see figure). When released from initial horizontal position, its instantaneous angular acceleration will be -

A piece of wood of mass 0.03 kg is dropped from the top of a 100 m height building. At the same time, a bullet of mass 0.02 kg is fired vertically upward, with a velocity 100 ms^–1, from the ground. The bullet gets embedded in the wood. Then the maximum height to which the combined system reaches above the top of the building before falling below is - (g = 10 ms^–2)

Two masses m and $${m \over 2}$$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length l. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant k, at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant k, the restoring torque is $$\tau $$ = k$$\theta $$ for angular displacement $$\theta $$. If the rod is rotated by $$\theta $$₀ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be :

A force of $$40$$ $$N$$ acts on a point $$B$$ at the end of an $$L$$-shaped object, as shown in the figure. The angle $$\theta $$ that will produce maximum moment of the force about point $$A$$ is given by :
