Question 372: Centre of Mass and Rotational Motion

Question

A thin circular ring of mass $$m$$ and radius $$R$$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $$\omega $$. Two objects each of mass $$M$$ are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring now rotates with an angular velocity $$\omega ' = $$

Accepted Answer

Here angular momentum is conserved.
Applying conservation of angular momentum $$I'\omega ' = I\omega \,\,$$
$$\left( {m{R^2} + 2M{R^2}} \right)\omega \,' = m{R^2}\omega $$
$$ \Rightarrow \omega \,' = \omega \left[ {{m \over {m + 2M}}} \right]$$

Answer

$${{\omega \left( {m + 2M} \right)} \over m}$$

Answer

$${{\omega \left( {m - 2M} \right)} \over {\left( {m + 2M} \right)}}$$

Answer

$${{\omega m} \over {\left( {m + M} \right)}}$$

Answer

$${{\omega m} \over {\left( {m + 2M} \right)}}$$

Centre of Mass and Rotational Motion

A thin circular ring of mass $m and radius R is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity \omega . Two objects each of mass M are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring now rotates with an angular velocity \omega ' =
