Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed about its centre . The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown, two pebbles and are simultaneously projected at an angle towards . The velocity of projection is in the - plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that (i) they land back on the disc before the disc has completed rotation, (ii) their range is less than half the disc radius, and (iii) remains constant throughout. Then

(A)
lands in the shaded region and in the unshaded region
(B)

The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless stick, as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed , the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the centre of mass of the disc about the Z-axis, and (ii) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points and ). Both these motions have the same angular speed in this case. Now, consider two similar systems as shown in the figure : Case (a) the disc with its face vertical and parallel to x-z plane; Case (b) the disc with its face making an angle of with x-y plane and its horizontal diameter parallel to X-axis. In both the cases, the disc is welded at point , and the systems are rotated with constant angular speed about the Z-axis.
Question 1:

Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?

(A)
It is for both the cases
(B)
It is for case (a); and for case (b)
(C)
It is for case (a); and for case (b)
(D)
It is for both the cases
Question 2:

Which of the following statements about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?

(A)
It is vertical for both the cases (a) and (b)
(B)
It is vertical for case (a); and is at to the x-z plane and lies in the plane of the disc for case (b)
(C)
It is horizontal for case (a); and is at to the x-z plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case (b)
(D)
It is vertical for case (a); and is at to the x-z plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case (b)
