Consider a body, shown in figure, consisting of two identical balls, each of mass M connected by a light rigid rod. If an impulse J = MV is imparted to the body at one of its ends what would be it angular velocity?

A

`V/L`

B

`2V/L`

C

`V/3L`

D

`V/4L`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

(a) Change in angular momentum of the system = angular
impulse given to the system about the centre of mass `(Angular momentum)_f - (Angular momentum)_i`
`= Mvxx(L)/(2)……(i)`
Let the system starts rotating with the angular velocity `omega.`
Moment of inertia of the system about its axis of rotation
[centre of mass of the system]
`=M((L)/(2))^2 +M((L)/(2)^2 = (2ML^2)/(4) = (ML)^2/(2)`
From (i) `Iomega-O = Mv(L)/(2)`
`rArr omega = (Mv)/(I)xx(L)/(2) = (Mv)/(ML^2/2)xx(L)/(2) = (v)/(L).`

A uniform rod of length L and mass M is lying on a frictionless horizontal plane and is pivoted at one of its ends as shown in Fig. There is no friction at the pivot. An inelastic ball of mass m is fixed with the rod at a distance L//3 from O . A horizontal impulse J is given to the rod at a distance 2L//3 from O in a direction perpendicular to the rod. Assume that the ball remains in contact with the rod after the collision and impulse J acts for a small time interval /_\t .
