Angular Momentum & its Conservation

The Sun rotates around its centre once in 27 days. What will be the period of revolution if the Sun were to expand to twice its present radius without any external influence? Assume the Sun to be a sphere of uniform density.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. No external torque: IωI\omega = constant, so T∝IT \propto I.
  2. Uniform sphere, same mass: I∝R2I \propto R^2, so R→2RR \to 2R gives I→4II \to 4I.
  3. T′=4×27=108T' = 4 \times 27 = 108 days, so the answer is (b).
