A hoop of radius $$r$$ and mass $$m$$ rotating with an angular velocity $${\omega _0}$$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. The initial velocity of the center of the hoop is zero. What will be the velocity of the center of the hoop when it cases to slip?

What is the minimum energy required to launch a satellite of mass $$m$$ from the surface of a planet of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$ in a circular orbit at an altitude of $$2R$$?

A uniform cylinder of length $$L$$ and mass $$M$$ having cross-sectional area $$A$$ is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a mass-less spring such that it is half submerged in a liquid of density $$\sigma $$ at equilibrium position. The extension $${x_0}$$ of the spring when it is in equilibrium is:

Assume that a drop of liquid evaporates by decreases in its surface energy, so that its temperature remains unchanged. What should be the minimum radius of the drop for this to be possible ? The surface tension is $$T,$$ density of liquid is $$\rho $$ and $$L$$ is its latent heat of vaporization.
