A uniform disc of mass M and radius R is supported vertically by a pivot at its periphery as shown. A particle of mass M is fixed to the rim and raised to the highest point above the centre. The system is then released from rest and it can rotate about its pivot freely. The angular speed of the system when the attached object is directly beneath the pivot is

One ice skater of mass m moves with speed 2v to the right, while another of the same mass m moves with speed v toward the left, as shown in figure I. Their paths are separated by a distance b. At t = 0, when they are both at x = 0, they grasp a pole of length b and negligible mass. For t > 0, consider the system as a rigid body of two masses m separated by distance b, as shown in figure II. Which of the following is the correct formula for the motion after t = 0 of the skater initially at y = b/2?
