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 :

Solution :As shown, the distance between AXIS of rotation and tortoise will be minimum, when the tortoise is at C.
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.
