How will you distinguish between a hard boiled egg and a raw egg by spinning each on a table top? |

Answer» To distinguish between a hard boiled egg and a raw egg, we spin each on a table top. The egg which spins at a slower rate shall be raw. This is because in a raw egg, liquid matter inside tries to get away from its axis of rotation. Therefore, its moment of inertia increases. As t = I α = constant, therefore,α decreases i.e. raw egg will spin with smaller angular acceleration. The reverse is true for a hard boiled egg which will rotate more or less like a rigid body. |
