    A thin circular ring of mass M and radius R is rotating about its axis with a constant angular speed \[\omega .\] Two blocks, each of mass m are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring the angular. speed of the ring will be: 

    A) \[\frac{M+2m}{M}\omega \]                     

    B) \[\frac{M}{M+2m}\omega \]     

    C) \[\frac{M-2m}{M+2m}\omega \]             

    D)        \[\frac{2M}{M+2m}\omega \]                   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: external torque is acting on the system, then angular momentum of the system is conserved. As external torque on the system is zero i.e.,        \[\tau =0\] or            \[\frac{dL}{dt}=0\] or            \[L=\text{constant}\] or            \[{{I}_{1}}{{\omega }_{1}}={{I}_{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}\]                                     ?(i) Here,\[{{I}_{1}}=M{{R}^{2}}\](about its own axis),\[{{\omega }_{1}}=\omega \] \[{{I}_{2}}=(M+2m){{R}^{2}}\] Putting in Eq. (i), we find \[M{{R}^{2}}\omega =(M+2m){{R}^{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}\]                 or            \[{{\omega }_{2}}=\left( \frac{M}{M+2m} \right)\omega \]
