Angular Momentum & its Conservation

A circular plate is rotating in horizontal plane, about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to the plate, with an angular velocity ω\omega. A person sits at the center having two dumbbells in his hands. When he stretches out his hands, the moment of inertia of the system becomes triple. If E be the initial Kinetic energy of the system, then final Kinetic energy will be Ex\frac{E}{x}. The value of xx is

Answer: 3

  1. No external torque, so LL is constant and K=L22IK=\frac{L^2}{2I}.
  2. I→3I⇒K→E3I\to3I \Rightarrow K\to\frac{E}{3}
  3. So x=3x=3.
