Rotational Motion Question 39
Question: A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity . Two objects each of mass m are attached gently to the opposite ends of diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:

B)
C)
D)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Angular momentum remains conserved in the universe.
According to conservation of angular momentum
or
Initial moment of inertia
and angular velocity
Hence,
When two objects of mass m are attached to opposite ends of a diameter, the final readings are
So,
