A disc of mass M and radius R is rolling with angular speed omega on a horizontal plane as shown in figure. The magnitude of angular momentum of the disc about the origin O is

Answer»

`(1/2)MR^(2)OMEGA`
`MR^(2)omega`
`(3/2)MR^(2)omega`
`2Mr^(2)omega`

Solution :The disc has two types of motion, namely, translation and rotational. Therefore there are two types of angular moment and the total angular momentum is the sum of thes two.

`L=L_(T)+L_(R), L_(t)=` angular momentum due to translational motion
`L_(R)=` angular momentum due to rotational motion about `CM`
`L=MVxxR+I_(CM)omegaI_(CM)`
`=MI` about centre of mass `C`
`=M(Romega)R+1/2MR^(2)omega(V=Romega` in case of ROLLING motion and SURFACE at rest)
`=3/2MR^(2)omega`
