A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with an angular speed ω. Two particles having mass m each are now attached at diametrically opposite points. The angular speed of the ring will become(a) ωM/(M+m) (b) ωM/(M+2m) (c) ω(M-2m)/(M+2m) (d) ω(M+2m)/M

Answer»

Answer ⇒ Option (b). ''ωM/(M+2m)''



EXPLANATION

Moment of inertia of the ring will be given by the relation,

I = Mr²


Angular MOMENTUM = I⍵


When the MASSES are attached, the moment of Inertia will be given by,

I'= Mr²+ 2mr²

= r² (M+2m)



Assuming that the new angular speed be ⍵'. THEREFORE, the angular momentum = I'⍵'.


By the law of the conservation of the momentum, the angular momentum is always conserved.


∴ I'⍵'=I⍵

⇒ ⍵' = I⍵/I'

⇒ ⍵' =⍵Mr²/(M+2m)r²

∴ ⍵' =⍵M/(M+2m)


Hence, Option (b). is CORRECT.



Hope it helps.
