A thin uniform rod of length $$l$$ and mass $$m$$ is swinging freely about a horizontal axis passing through its end. Its maximum angular speed is $$\omega $$. Its center of mass rises to a maximum height of:

Consider a uniform square plate of side $$' a '$$ and mass $$'m'$$. The moment of inertia of this plate about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through one of its corners is

A thin rod of length $$'L'$$ is lying along the $$x$$-axis with its ends at $$x=0$$ and $$x=L$$. Its linear density (mass/length) varies with $$x$$ as $$k{\left( {{x \over L}} \right)^n},$$ where $$n$$ can be zero or any positive number. If the position $${X_{CM}}$$ of the center of mass of the rod is plotted against $$'n',$$ which of the following graphs best approximates the dependence of $${X_{CM}}$$ on $$n$$?

A circular disc of radius $$R$$ is removed from a bigger circular disc of radius $$2R$$ such that the circumferences of the discs coincide. The center of mass of the new disc is $$\alpha R$$ form the center of the bigger disc. The value of $$\alpha $$ is
