A thin circular ring of mass M and radius R is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis vertical to its plane with a constant angular velocity ω. If two objects each of mass m are attached gently to the opposite ends of the diameter of the ring, the ring will then rotate with an angular velocity:

1. \(\frac{\omega(M-2 m)}{M+2 m} \) 2. \(\frac{\omega M}{M+2 m} \)
3. \(\frac{\omega(M+2 m)}{M} \) 4. \(\frac{\omega M}{M+m}\)

A rod of weight \(w\) is supported by two parallel knife edges, \(A\) and \(B\), and is in equilibrium in a horizontal position. The knives are at a distance \(d\) from each other. The centre of mass of the rod is at a distance \(x \) from \(A\). The normal reaction on \(A\) is:
1. \(wx \over d\) 2. \(wd \over x\)
3. \(w(d-x) \over x\) 4. \(w(d-x) \over d\)
