A thin rod MN, free to rotate in the vertical plane aboutthe fixed end N, is held horizontal. When the end M is released the speed of this end, when the rod makes an angle $$\alpha $$ with the horizontal, will be proportional to : (see figure)

A thin uniform bar of length $$L$$ and mass $$8$$ m lies on a smooth horizontal table. Two point masses m and 2 m are moving in the same horizontal plane from opposite sides of the bar with speeds 2$$\upsilon $$ and $$\upsilon $$ respectively. The masses stick to the bar after collision at a distance $${L \over 3}$$ and $${L \over 6}$$ respectively from the center of the bar. If the br starts rotating about its center of mass as a result of collision, the angular speed of the bar 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 :

A uniform rod $$AB$$ is suspended from a point $$X,$$ at a variable distance $$x$$ from $$A$$, as shown, To make the rod horizontal, a mass $$m$$ is suspended from its end $$A.$$A$$ set of $$(m,x)$$ values is recorded. The appropriate variables that give a straight line, when plotted, are :
