A man stands in the middle of a rotating table which has an angular velocity `omega` He is holding two equal masses at arms lengtii ineach hand. Without moving his arms he just drops the two masses. How will be the angular speed of table get changed?

A

increase

B

decrease

C

become zero

D

remain constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As mass decreases, moment of inertia I decreases. Since `L=Iomega` is constant, therefore `omega` increases.

Two equal masses m are attached by a string. One mass lies at radial distance r from the centre of a horizontal turntable which rotates with constant angular velocity omega=2 rad s(1) , while the second hangs from the string inside the tumtable's hollow spindle (see fig.) The coefficient of static friction between the turntable and the mass lying on it is mu_(s)=0.5 . The maximum and minimum values of radius such that the mass lying on the turntable does not slide are r_("max")+r_("min") in meter is

A rotating table has angular velocity 'omega' and moment of inertia I_(1) . A person of mass 'm' stands on the centre of rotating table. If the preson moves a distance r along its radius then what will be thefinal angualr velcotiy of the rotating table ?

A smooth uniform rod of length L and mass M has two identical beads of negligible size each of mass m which can slide freely along the rod. Initially the two beada are at the centre of the rod and the system is rotating with an angular velocity omega_0 about an axis perpenducular to the rod and passing through the midpoint of the rod. There are no external forces. When the beads reach the ends of the rod, the angular velocity of the system is ......

A thread is passing through a hole at the centre of frictionless table. At the upper end a block of mass 0.5 kg is tied and a block of mass 8.0 kg is tied at the lower end which is freely hanging. The smaller mass is rotate, on the table with a constant angular velocity about the axis passing through the hole so as to balance the heavier mass. If the mass of the hanging block is changed from 8.0 kg to 1.0 kg , what is the fractional change in the radius and the angular velocity of the smaller mass so that it balances the hanging mass again?
