Question
A smooth uniform rod of length 'L' and mass 'M' has two identical beads of negligible size, each of mass 'm', which can slide freely along the rod. Initially the two beads are at the centre of the rod and the system is rotating with angular velocity ω0 about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the mid point of the rod (see figure). There are no external forces. When the beads reach the ends of the rod, the angular velocity of the system is

Options:
A .  ω0 
B .  Mω0M+12m 
C .  Mω0M+2m 
D .  Mω0M+6m 
Answer: Option D
:
D
Since there are no external forces therefore the angular momentum of the system remains constant.
Initially when the beads are at the centre of the rod angular momentum L1=(ML212)ω0 .....(i)
When beads reach the ends of the rod then angular momentum =(m(L2)2+m(L2)2+ML212)ω
..(ii) Equating (i) and (ii) ML212ω0=(mL22+ML212)ωω=Mω0M+6m.
