Angular Momentum & its Conservation

A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity ω\omega. 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)

  1. Four masses on the rim add 4mr24mr^2: I′=(M+4m)r2I' = (M+4m)r^2.
  2. Conservation of LL: Mr2ω=(M+4m)r2ω′Mr^2\omega = (M+4m)r^2\omega'.
  3. ω′=MωM+4m\omega' = \frac{M\omega}{M+4m}
  4. So the answer is (b) MωM+4m\frac{M\omega}{M+4m}.
