PYQs

The document contains a series of physics problems related to mechanics, specifically focusing on the moment of inertia, radius of gyration, and principles of rigid body dynamics. It includes calculations for various shapes such as circular wires, cylinders, rods, and discs, as well as definitions and proofs related to axes of inertia. The problems require applying mathematical formulas and principles to derive results for different configurations and orientations of objects.
