View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Initial moment of inertia of the ring
A thin circular ring of mass and radius rotating about its central axis has
- Initial angular momentum
Since the ring is rotating with angular velocity , its initial angular momentum is
- Final moment of inertia after attaching two masses
Two particles, each of mass , are attached at opposite ends of a diameter. Each particle is at distance from the axis.
Moment of inertia of the two particles:
So the total final moment of inertia is
- Use conservation of angular momentum
Since the masses are attached gently and no external torque acts about the axis,
So,
Cancel :
Hence,
- Match with the options
This corresponds to
So the correct option is D.
