A rectangular solid box of length \(0.3~\text{m}\) is held horizontally, with one of its sides on the edge of a platform of height \(5~\text{m}\). When released, it slips off the table in a very short time \(\tau=0.01~\text{s}\), remaining essentially horizontal. The angle by which it would rotate when it hits the ground will be (in radians) close to:

       

1. \(0.5\)
2. \(0.02\)
3. \(0.28\)

A stationary horizontal disc is free to rotate about its axis. When a torque is applied on it, its kinetic energy as a function of \(\theta,\) where \(\theta\) is the angle by which it has rotated, is given as \(k\theta^2\) (where \(k\) is constant). If its moment of inertia is \(I,\) then the angular acceleration of the disc is:
1. \(\frac{k}{I} \theta\)

2. \(\frac{k}{2 I} \theta\)

3. \(\frac{k}{4 I} \theta\)

4. \(\frac{2 k}{I} \theta\)
