A cord is wound round the circumference of wheel of radius r. The axis of the wheel is horizotal and moment of inertia about it is I. A weight mg is attached to the end of the cord and falls from rest. After falling through a distance h, the angular velocity of the wheel will be

1. $\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{I+mr}}$

2. $\sqrt{\frac{2mgh}{I+m{r}^2}}$

3. ${\left[\frac{2mgh}{I+2m}\right]}^{\frac{1}{2}}$

4. $\sqrt{2gh}$

Two balls are thrown simultaneously in the air. The acceleration of the centre-of-mass of the two balls while in the air:

In figure (a), a meter stick, half of which is wood and the other half steel is pivoted at the wooden end at O and a force F is applied to the steel end a. In figure (b) the stick is pivoted at the steel eid at O' and the same force F is applied at the wooden end at a' The angular acceleration

1.  in (a) is greater than in (b)

2.  in (b) is greater than in (a)

3.  equal both in (a) and (b)

4.  none of the above.
