A bullet of mass 10 g and speed 500 m/s is fired into a door and gets embedded exactly at the centre of the door. The door is 1.0 m wide and weighs 12 kg. It is hinged at one end and rotates about a vertical axis practically without friction. Find the angular speed of the door just after the bullet embeds into it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`0.625" rad s"^(-1)`
The moment of inertia of the door about the vertical axis at one end is `ML^(2)//3`.
