The density of a non-uniform rod of length 1 m is given by $$\rho(x)=a\left(1+b x^2\right)$$ where, a and b are constants and $$0 \leq x \leq 1$$. The centre of mass of the rod will be at
A merry-go-round, made of a ring-like platform of radius $$R$$ and mass $$M$$, is revolving with angular speed $$\omega$$. A person of mass $$M$$ is standing on it. At one instant, the person jumps off the round, radially away from the centre of the round (as seen from the round). The speed of the round of afterwards is

Figure shows two identical particles 1 and 2, each of mass $$m$$, moving in opposite directions with same speed $$\mathbf{v}$$ along parallel lines. At a particular instant $$\mathbf{r}_1$$ and $$\mathbf{r}_2$$ are their respective position vectors drawn from point $$A$$ which is in the plane of the parallel lines. Choose the correct options.
The net external torque on a system of particles about an axis is zero. Which of the following are compatible with it?
