Question
A thin circular ring of mass 'M' and radius 'R' is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity ω. Four objects each of mass 'm', are kept gently to the opposite ends of two perpendicular diameters of the ring. The new angular velocity of the ring will be
Answer: Option A
:
A
Initial angular momentum of ring =Iω=MR2ω
If four object each of mass m, and kept gently to the opposite ends of two perpendicular
diameters of the ring then final angular momentum =(MR2+4mR2)ω′
By the conservation of angular momentum
Initial angular momentum = Final angular momentum
MR2ω=(MR2+4mR2)ω′⇒ω′=(MM+4m)ω.
