1- What is the moment of inertia of a spherical shell about a tangent axis?

2- The angular velocity of a body is ω = 2i+j+4k. A torque τ = 2i+2j+2k acts on it. What is the rotational
power ?

3- The diameter of a solid disc is 0.5 m and its mass is 16 Kg. The moment of inertia of a rotating solid
disk about an axis through its center of mass is ½ MR2.
- What is the average angular acceleration of the solid disc
- What torque will increase its angular velocity from zero to 120 rotation/minute in 8 seconds ?
- At what rate is work done by the torque at the end of 8th second ?

4- A wheel of moment of inertia 5×10−3 kg m2 is making 20 rev/s. What is the torque required to stop
it in 10s ?

5- A constant torque of 1000Nm turns a wheel of moment of inertia 200 kg m2 about an axis through its
centre. The wheel is at rest initially. What is its angular velocity after 3s?

6- A circular disc of radius 10 cm is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre without friction and
its moment of inertia is 21π kg m2. A tangential force of 20N is acting on the disc along its rim. Starting
from rest, what is the number of rotations made by the disc in 10s?
