A circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its centre. A tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now the platform is given an angular velocity omega_(0). When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform omega(t) will vary with time t as : |

Answer»
As there is no external torque .L. will remain CONSERVED for the system. THUS `Iomega` = constant and M.I. will first decrease as the tortoise moves from A to C and then increase as it moves from C to B. The angular VELOCITY first-increases and becomes maximum at C, then decreases and is minimum at B. This is represented by (c ) choice graphically.
