application to the discussion of rotating atomic 

If the top is not upright, then the weight force mg vertically down will provide a torque  about point O in the base of
the top, which must tend to produce an increase in angular momentum in the direction of that torque. This

direction will always be perpendicular to the direction of L ; hence this torque can never change the magnitude

of L , but only it direction. It is seen that L, and hence the axis of the top, will precess around in a circle about
the vertical line z-axis.

1. As shown in the figure, let the centre of the ring coincide with the origin Y
and the ring lies in x-y plane. Now z axis is the normal to the plane, thus
the axis about which we have to find moment of inertia makes an angle  R d
= 45 with the Z axis and lies in the z-x plane. 
Consider an element of the ring at an angular position  and angular X

thickness d. The position vector of this element is

r  R(cos  ˆi  sin ˆj) axis
Z
unit vector along the axis of rotation is
â  (cos kˆ  sin  ˆi)
Now, perpendicular distance of the element from the axis,

p  r  aˆ

The velocity of the disc when rolling begins can be obtained using the conservation of angular
momentum principle about the point through which line of action of the friction force passes. So, the
coefficient of friction has no bearing on final velocity. The work done by the force of friction will
simply be change in kinetic energy.

Let the mass per unit length of the bar be  (kg/m)
As the frames come down, the point B moves vertically downwards and PP remain in contact with
the ground. In the final state( when PQ, PQ just become horizontal), the velocities of P(and P) is
zero. The vertical component was already zero, the horizontal component also becomes zero. The
motion of PQ is essentially rotation about P at that instant. Conservation of mechanical energy

If acceleration of C.M of ring is a then for disc it should be 2a.
So for ring T = Ma
and for disc’s pure rolling
F – T – fs = M(2a)
M(2R)2
(F + fs) 2R = 

2a = 2R

solving fs = –
