Explanation

By Conservation of Energy P.E. of rod = Rotational K.E. $ M.g {1 \over 2} sin d = { 1 \over 2} I \omega^2 = { 1 \over 2} { mL^2 \over 3} \omega^2 $ $ \therefore \omega = \sqrt { 3 g sin \alpha \over L } $ As here l = 2 L $ \omega = \sqrt { 3g sin \alpha \over 2L } $

A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity w. Two objects each of mass m are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity

Explanation

Initial angular momentum of ring $ = I \omega = MR^2 \omega $ Final angular momentum of ring and particles $ = ( MR^2 + 2 mR^2 ) \omega' $ As No external forque so According to Law of conservation of angular momentum. $ MR^2 \omega = ( MR^2 + 2 mR^2 ) \omega' $ $ \therefore \omega' = { wM \over (M + 2m ) } $

A smooth sphere A is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with angular speed $ \omega $ and centre of mass velocity v. It collides elastically and head on with an identical sphere B at rest. Neglect friction everywhere. After the collision, their angular speeds are $ \omega_A $ and $ \omega_B $ respectively, Then

Explanation

As it is head-on elastic collision between two idential balls there fore they will exchange their linear vecocity is A comes to rest and B starts moving with linear velocity V. As there is no friction any where, forque on both the spheres about their centre of mass is zero and their angular velocities remains unchanged $ \therefore \omega_A = \omega and \omega = 0_B $

Two point masses of 0.3 kg and 0.7 kg are fixed at the ends of a rod of length 1.4 m
and of negligible mass. The rod is set rotating about an axis perpendicular to its length with a uniform angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass in order that the work required for rotation of the rod is minimum, is located at a distance of …..

Explanation

$ I = 0.3 x^2 + 0.7 ( 1.4 - x)^2 $ For minimum work moment of inertia of the system should be minimum is $ { dI \over dx} = 0 = 03 \times 2x -0.7 \times 2 ( 1.4 - x) = 0 $

A child is standing with folded hands at the centre of a platform rotating about its central axis the kinetic energy of the system is K. The child now stretches his arms so that the moment of inertia of the system doubles. The kinetic energy of the system now is

Explanation

$ E = { L^2 \over 2I } = K given K \alpha { 1 \over I } $ If L is constant when child stretches his arms the moment of inertia of system get doubled so kinetic energy will becomes half i.e $ { K \over 2 } $

Explanation

Moment of inertia of sphere $ I = { 2 \over 5 } MR^2 $ about its axis $ L = I \omega $

If the angular momentum of any rotating body increases by 200%, then the increase in its kinetic energy will be…..

Explanation

$ \omega = 1800 rpm = { 2 \pi \times 1800 \over 60 } = 60 \pi rad /sec $

The moment of inertia of two rotating bodies A and B are $ I_A $ and $I_B $ . $ ( I_A \gt I_B ) $ and their angular momentum are equal. If their K.E. be $ K_A and K_B $ respectively
