Statement 1: The angular momentum of a b...

Statement 1: The angular momentum of a body moving in a circle with constant velocity remains conserved about any point on the circumference of the circle.
Statement 2: If the torque acting on the body is zero than its angular momentum is conserved.
Which one of thefollowing options is correct?

A

Statement 1 and 2 are true and statement 2 is a correct explanation for statement 1.

B

Statements 1 and 2 are true and statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.

D

Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Since the centripetal force is radial the torque due to this force is zero about the centre. Hence angular momentum is conserved only at the centre of the circle.
