A kid of mass M stands at the edge of a ...

A kid of mass M stands at the edge of a platform of radius R which can be freely rotated about its axis. The moment of inertia of the platform is I . The system is at rest when a friend throws as ball of mass m and the kid catches it. If the velocity of the ball is v horizontally along the tangent to the edge of the platform when it was caught by the kid find the angular speed of the platform after the event.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

A kid of mass M stands at tehedge of the platform of a raduis R which has a moment of inertia I. S ball thrown to him and with horizontal velocity of the ball -v when we catches it.
Therefoe if we take the total bodies as a system
`mvR={1+(M+m)R^2}omega`
The moment of inerti aofkid adn ball about the axis=`(M+m)R^2`
`rarr omega=(mvR)/(1+(M+m)R^2)`
