A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with an angular speed . Two particles having mass m each are now attached at diametrically opposite points. The angular speed of the ring will become :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Use conservation of angular momentum
Since the two particles are attached symmetrically at diametrically opposite points, there is no external torque about the axis of rotation. Hence,
- Initial moment of inertia
For a thin circular ring of mass and radius about its axis,
Initial angular momentum is
- Final moment of inertia
Each attached particle has mass and is at distance from the axis.
So the two particles contribute
Therefore final moment of inertia is
- Apply conservation of angular momentum
Let the new angular speed be . Then
Cancel :
So,
- Match with options
This corresponds to:
So the correct option is C.
