In the \(\mathrm{HCl}\) molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about \(1.27~\mathring{\text A}~(1~\mathring{\text A}=10^{10}~\text m).\) Then the approximate location of the CM of the molecule is:
(Given that a chlorine atom is about \(35.5\) times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus).

A child sits stationary at one end of a long trolley moving uniformly with a speed \(v\) on a smooth horizontal floor. If the child gets up and runs about on the trolley in any manner, then the speed of the centre of mass of the (trolley + child) system:

A non-uniform bar of weight \(W\) is suspended at rest by two strings of negligible weight as shown in the figure. The angles made by the strings with the vertical are \(36.9^\circ\) and  \(53.1^\circ\) respectively. The bar is \(2\) m long. The distance \(d\) of the center of gravity of the bar from its left end is:

Given the moment of inertia of a disc of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) about any of its diameters to  be \(\frac{MR^{2}}{4},\) then the moment of inertia about an axis normal to the disc passing through a point on its edge is:

3. \(\frac{2}{5}MR^{2}\)

4. \(\frac{7}{5}MR^{2}\)

Torques of equal magnitude are applied to a hollow cylinder and a solid sphere, both having the same mass and radius. The cylinder is free to rotate about its standard axis of symmetry, and the sphere is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre. The angular velocity of the solid sphere is:

A child stands at the centre of a turntable with his arms outstretched. The turntable is set to rotate with an angular speed of \(40\) rev/min. How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to \(2\over 5\) times the initial value?
