Calculate the ratio of the angular momentum of the earth about its axis due to its spinning motion to that about the sun due to its orbital motion. Radius of the earth = 6400 km and radius of the orbit of the earth about the sun = 1⋅5 × 10⁸ km.

Two particles of masses m₁ and m₂ are joined by a light rigid rod of length r. The system rotates at an angular speed ω about an axis through the centre of mass of the system and perpendicular to the rod. Show that the angular momentum of the system is \[L = \mu r^2 \omega\] where \[\mu\] is the reduced mass of the system defined as \[\mu = \frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1 + m_2}\]

A uniform rod of mass m and length l is struck at an end by a force F perpendicular to the rod for a short time interval t.

Two small balls A and B, each of mass m, are joined rigidly by a light horizontal rod of length L.

A uniform wheel of radius R is set into rotation about its axis at an angular speed ω. This rotating wheel is now placed on a rough horizontal surface with its axis horizontal. Because of friction at the contact, the wheel accelerates forward and its rotation decelerates till the wheel starts pure rolling on the surface. Find the linear speed of the wheel after it starts pure rolling.

A thin spherical shell lying on a rough horizontal surface is hits by a cue in such a way that the line of action passes through the centre of the shell.
