A particle of mass 5kg is rotating about an axis in a circle with a speed of 10m/s. What should be its radius so that the component of angular momentum about the axis is 5kgm^2/s?(a) 0.1cm(b) 10cm(c) 5cm(d) 0.5mThe question was posed to me in an online interview.This question is from Angular Momentum in case of Rotations about a Fixed Axis in chapter System of Particles and Rotational Motion of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (B) 10cm

Easiest EXPLANATION: The angular momentum of a particle along the axis is GIVEN by Iω.I = mr^2 ω = v/R, where ‘r’ is the radius of the particle.Iω = mvr = 5∴ 5*10*r = 5∴ r = 0.1m = 10cm.
