Rotational Motion question

2021 · 18 Mar · Shift 1 · Q50

JEE MainPhysicsRotational MotionMCQ+4 / −1
A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with an angular speed ω\omegaω. Two particles having mass m each are now attached at diametrically opposite points. The angular speed of the ring will become :
  1. A
    ωMM+m\omega {M \over {M + m}}ωM+mM​
  2. B
    ωM+2mM\omega {{M + 2m} \over M}ωMM+2m​
  3. C
    ωMM+2m\omega {M \over {M + 2m}}ωM+2mM​
  4. D
    ωM−2mM+2m\omega {{M - 2m} \over {M + 2m}}ωM+2mM−2m​

Correct answer: C

  1. 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,

Li=LfL_i = L_fLi​=Lf​

  1. Initial moment of inertia

For a thin circular ring of mass MMM and radius rrr about its axis,

Ii=Mr2I_i = Mr^2Ii​=Mr2

Initial angular momentum is

Li=Iiω=Mr2ωL_i = I_i\omega = Mr^2\omegaLi​=Ii​ω=Mr2ω

  1. Final moment of inertia

Each attached particle has mass mmm and is at distance rrr from the axis.

So the two particles contribute

2mr22mr^22mr2

Therefore final moment of inertia is

If=Mr2+2mr2=(M+2m)r2I_f = Mr^2 + 2mr^2 = (M+2m)r^2If​=Mr2+2mr2=(M+2m)r2

  1. Apply conservation of angular momentum

Let the new angular speed be ω′\omega'ω′. Then

Mr2ω=(M+2m)r2ω′Mr^2\omega = (M+2m)r^2\omega'Mr2ω=(M+2m)r2ω′

Cancel r2r^2r2:

Mω=(M+2m)ω′M\omega = (M+2m)\omega'Mω=(M+2m)ω′

So,

ω′=ωMM+2m\omega' = \omega\frac{M}{M+2m}ω′=ωM+2mM​

  1. Match with options

This corresponds to:

ωMM+2m\boxed{\omega\frac{M}{M+2m}}ωM+2mM​​

So the correct option is C.
