Rotational Kinetic Energy, Work & Power

The angular momentum of a rotating body is 'L'. When the frequency of rotating body is tripled and its kinetic energy is made one-third, the new angular momentum becomes

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. K=12Lω⇒L=2KωK = \frac{1}{2}L\omega \Rightarrow L = \frac{2K}{\omega}
  2. ω′=3ω\omega' = 3\omega, K′=K3K' = \frac{K}{3}: L′=2K/33ω=L9L' = \frac{2K/3}{3\omega} = \frac{L}{9}
  3. So the answer is (d) L9\frac{L}{9}.
