Gravitation Question 154

Question: The angular velocity of rotation of star (of mass M and radius R) at which the matter start to escape from its equator will be[MH CET 1999]

Options:

A) [2GM2R]

B) [2GMg]

C) [2GMR3]

D) [2GRM]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Escape velocity [v=2GMR]

If star rotates with angular velocity w then

[ω=vR=1R2GMR=2GMR3]
