The device shown in Fig. rotates on the vertical axle as shown. The frame has negligible mass as compared to the four masses each of mass `m`. Initial angular velocity of the system is `omega_(0)`. Due to an internal mechanism the spokes in the frame lengthen so that the radii of the masses become `2a`. Initially, it was a. What will be the new angular velocity of the system? |

Answer» The will be no torque on the system if we ignore frictional torque at the axle. Therefore, the angular momentum of the system is conserved. `vecL_("initial")=vecL_("final")` `I_("initial")omega_(0)=I_("final")omega` `4ma^(2) omega_(0)=4m(2a)^(2)omega` from which we have `omega=(omega_(0))/4` |
