Angular Momentum & its Conservation
A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity . Four objects each of mass m, are kept gently to the opposite ends of two perpendicular diameters of the ring. The angular velocity of the ring will be:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Four masses on the rim add : .
- Conservation of : .
- So the answer is (b) .
