Angular Momentum & its Conservation

A thin circular ring of mass MM and radius rr is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity ω\omega. Two objects each of mass mm are attached gently to the opposite ends of diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Conservation of LL: Mr2ω=(M+2m)r2ω′Mr^2\omega = (M+2m)r^2\omega'.
  2. ω′=ωMM+2m\omega' = \frac{\omega M}{M+2m}
  3. So the answer is (b) ωM(M+2m)\frac{\omega M}{(M+2m)}.
