A small ball of mass m is suspended from the ceiling of a floor by a string of length $$\mathrm{L}$$. The ball moves along a horizontal circle with constant angular velocity $$\omega$$, as shown in the figure. The torque about the centre (O) of the horizontal circle is
A small sphere of mass m and radius r slides down the smooth surface of a large hemispherical bowl of radius R. If the sphere starts sliding from rest, the total kinetic energy of the sphere at the lowest point $$\mathrm{A}$$ of the bowl will be [given, moment of inertia of sphere $$=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{mr}^2$$]
A mouse of mass m jumps on the outside edge of a rotating ceiling fan of moment of inertia I and radius R. The fractional loss of angular velocity of the fan as a result is,
