15. A disc of mass M and radius ris rotating with an angular velocity w. If gently, two masses mare placed at a distance r/2 on either side of the axes, what will be its angular velocity?

Answer»

we will use angular momentum conservation in this question. w = angular velocity.

initial angular momentum is Iw = (Mr²/2)*wfinal angular momentum = I'w' I' = Mr²/2 + 2*(m)*(r²/4) = Mr²/2 + mr²/2 I'= r²/2*(M+m)

now Iw = I'w' => w' = Iw/I' = {(Mr²/2)*w}/r²/2*(M+m) = Mw/(M+m).
