A wheel is rotating about an axis through its centre at \(720~\text{rpm}.\) It is acted upon by a constant torque opposing its motion for \(8\) seconds to bring it to rest finally.
The value of torque in \((\text{N-m })\) is:

1. \(48\)
2. \(72\)
3. \(96\)
4. \(120\)
The centre of the mass of \(3\) particles, \(10~\text{kg},\) \(20~\text{kg},\) and \(30~\text{kg},\) is at \((0,0,0).\) Where should a particle with a mass of \(40~\text{kg}\) be placed so that its combined centre of mass is \((3,3,3)?\)
1. \((0,0,0)\)

Two rotating bodies \(A\) and \(B\) of masses \(m\) and \(2m\) with moments of inertia \(I_A\) and \(I_B\) \((I_B>I_A)\) have equal kinetic energy of rotation. If \(L_A\) and \(L_B\) be their angular momenta respectively, then:
1. \(L_{A} = \frac{L_{B}}{2}\)
2. \(L_{A} = 2 L_{B}\)
3. \(L_{B} > L_{A}\)
4. \(L_{A} > L_{B}\)
A uniform circular disc of radius \(50~\text{cm}\) at rest is free to turn about an axis that is perpendicular to its plane and passes through its centre. It is subjected to a torque that produces a constant angular acceleration of \(2.0~\text{rad/s}^2.\) Its net acceleration in \(\text{m/s}^2\) at the end of \(2.0~\text s\) is approximately:

A string is wrapped along the rim of a wheel of the moment of inertia \(0.10~\text{kg-m}^2\) and radius \(10~\text{cm}.\) If the string is now pulled by a force of \(10~\text N,\) then the wheel starts to rotate about its axis from rest. The angular velocity of the wheel after \(2~\text s\) will be:
