A rigid body rotates about a fixed axis with a variable angular velocity equal to \(\alpha\) \(-\) \(\beta t\), at the time t, where \(\alpha , \beta\) are constants. The angle through which it rotates before it stops is:
1. | \(\frac{\left(\alpha\right)^{2}}{2 \beta}\) | 2. | \(\frac{\left(\alpha\right)^{2} - \left(\beta\right)^{2}}{2 \alpha}\) |
3. | \(\frac{\left(\alpha\right)^{2} - \left(\beta\right)^{2}}{2 \beta}\) | 4. | \(\frac{\left(\alpha-\beta\right) \alpha}{2}\) |
The position of a particle is given by \(\vec r = \hat i+2\hat j-\hat k\) and momentum \(\vec P = (3 \hat i + 4\hat j - 2\hat k)\). The angular momentum is perpendicular to:
1. | X-axis |
2. | Y-axis |
3. | Z-axis |
4. | Line at equal angles to all the three axes |

4. 3.6 N-m clockwise
A particle of mass m moves in the XY plane with a velocity of V along the straight line AB. If the angular momentum of the particle about the origin O is LA when it is at A and LB when it is at B, then:
1. | \(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}\) |
2. | \(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}\) |
3. | The relationship between \(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}} \text { and } \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}\) depends upon the slope of the line AB |
4. | \(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}<\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}\) |
