The lamina and the rod are in the same vertical plane, and \(A B O\) is a straight line (see diagram). Show that the moment of inertia of the system about an axis \(l\) through \(A\) perpendicular to the plane of the lamina is \(78 m a ^ { 2 }\). A particle of mass \(2 m\) is now attached at \(B\) and the system is free to rotate in a vertical plane about the fixed axis \(l\) which is horizontal. Initially \(A B\) is horizontal, with \(O\) moving downwards and the system having angular velocity \(\frac { 3 } { 5 } \sqrt { } \left( \frac { g } { a } \right)\). At time \(t , A B\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the downward vertical through \(A\).

1. Find, in terms of \(a , g\) and \(\theta\), an expression for \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } \theta } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } }\).
2. Find the angular velocity of the system when \(B\) is vertically below \(A\).

5 Four identical uniform rods, each of mass \(m\) and length \(2 a\), are rigidly joined to form a square frame \(A B C D\). Show that the moment of inertia of the frame about an axis through \(A\) perpendicular to the plane of the frame is \(\frac { 40 } { 3 } m a ^ { 2 }\). The frame is suspended from \(A\) and is able to rotate freely under gravity in a vertical plane, about a horizontal axis through \(A\). When the frame is at rest with \(C\) vertically below \(A\), it is given an angular velocity \(\sqrt { } \left( \frac { 6 g } { 5 a } \right)\). Find the angular velocity of the frame when \(A C\) makes an angle \(\theta\) with the downward vertical through \(A\). When \(A C\) is horizontal, the speed of \(C\) is \(k \sqrt { } ( g a )\). Find the value of \(k\) correct to 3 significant figures.

The arm can rotate about a fixed horizontal axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the point \(P\) on the rod, where \(A P = 1.2 \mathrm {~m}\).

1. Show that the moment of inertia of the arm about the axis is \(5220 \mathrm {~kg} \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\).
2. The arm is released from rest with \(A B\) horizontal, and a frictional couple of constant moment 850 N m opposes the motion. Find the angular speed of the arm when \(B\) is first vertically below \(P\).

The disc can rotate in a vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis which is perpendicular to the disc and which passes through the point \(A\) on the disc, where \(A C = 0.4 \mathrm {~m}\). A frictional couple of constant moment 4.8 Nm opposes the motion. The disc is released from rest with \(A C\) horizontal (see diagram).

The centre of mass \(G\) of the lamina is 0.8 m from the side \(A D\) and 0.5 m from the side \(A B\) (see diagram). The moment of inertia of the lamina about \(A D\) is \(6.2 \mathrm {~kg} \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\) and the moment of inertia of the lamina about \(A B\) is \(2.8 \mathrm {~kg} \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\). The lamina rotates in a vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis which passes through \(A\) and is perpendicular to the lamina.

1. Write down the moment of inertia of the lamina about this axis. The lamina is released from rest in the position where \(A B\) and \(D C\) are horizontal and \(D C\) is above \(A B\). A frictional couple of constant moment opposes the motion. When \(A B\) is first vertical, the angular speed of the lamina is \(2.4 \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\).

The lamina is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a fixed smooth horizontal axis \(L\), which passes through \(A\) and is perpendicular to the lamina. The midpoint of \(B C\) is \(D\). The lamina is held with \(A D\) making an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) with the upward vertical through \(A\) and released from rest. The moment of inertia of the lamina about the axis \(L\) is \(\frac { 5 m a ^ { 2 } } { 4 }\) Find the speed of \(D\) when \(A D\) is vertical.
