Point masses m1 and m2 are placed at the opposite ends of a rigid of length L and negligible mass. The rod is to be set rotating about an axis perpendicular to it. The position of point P on this rod through which the axis should pass so that the work required to set the rod rotating with angular velocity ω0 is minimum is given by

   

1. x =m1m2L
2. x = m2m1L
3. x = m2Lm1+ m2
4. x = m1Lm1+ m2

A wheel is rotating about an axis through its centre at \(720~\text{rpm}.\) It is acted upon by a constant torque opposing its motion for \(8\) seconds to bring it to rest finally. The value of torque in \((\text{N-m })\) is:
(given \(I=\frac{24}{\pi}~\text{kg.m}^2)\) 
1. \(48\)
2. \(72\)

Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): The speed of whirlwind in a tornado is alarmingly high.
Reason (R): If no external torque acts on a body, its angular velocity remains conserved.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
