• $1 \stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

• $2.5 \stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

• $1.24 \stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

• $1.5 \stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

A sphere of mass 10 kg and radius 0.5 m rotates about a tangent. The moment of inertia of the sphere is

• 5 kg-m²

• 2.7 kg-m²

• 3.5 kg-m²

• 4.5 kg-m²

A solid sphere (mass 2 m) and a thin spherical shell (mass M) both of the same size, roll down an inclined plane, then

• solid sphere will reach the bottom first

• hollow spherical shell will reach the bottom first

• both will reach at the same time

• cannot be predicted as the data is insufficient

A force $\mathrm{F} = 5\hat{\mathrm{i}} + 2\hat{\mathrm{j}} - 5\hat{\mathrm{k}}$ acts on a particle whose position vector is $\mathrm{r} = \hat{\mathrm{i}} - 2\hat{\mathrm{j}} + \hat{\mathrm{k}}$. What is the torque about the origin ?
