Q.1 Consider an "L-shaped rod" of uniform mass density, hinged at point 'O' is held at rest initially. The mass

the rod (in rad/s). (Take : L = 1m, 10 = 19/6)

Q.4 A ‘crooked pulley’ with mass M = 8kg, made of a uniform disk with radius R = 1 m, is mis-manufactured
to have its hinge off its center by a distance h = 1/3 cm (h << R). An inextensible string connected to two
masses (m = 1 kg) passes over the pulley as shown. Initially the center of mass ‘C’ of the pulley is at the
same horizontal level as X-axis. The system is released from rest in the position shown. Assume that
slipping does not take place anywhere, and there is no friction at the hinge. Find the magnitude of inverse
of initial angular acceleration of the pulley in SI units. (Take appropriate approximation).
