Angular Momentum & its Conservation

If the earth suddenly shrinks to 164\frac{1}{64} th of its original volume with its mass remaining the same, the period of rotation of earth becomes 24x\frac{24}{x}h. The value of x is __________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 16

  1. Volume 164\frac{1}{64} means R′=R4R'=\frac R4; T∝I∝R2T\propto I\propto R^2 (L conserved).
  2. T′=24×116=2416T'=24\times\frac{1}{16}=\frac{24}{16} h
  3. So x=16x=16.
