    The radius of a rotating disc is suddenly reduced to half without any change in its mass. Then its angular velocity will be

    A)  four times                         

    B)  double

    C)  half                                      

    D)  unchanged

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to the law of conservation of angular momentum \[{{I}_{1}}{{\omega }_{1}}={{I}_{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}\]                 or            \[{{M}_{1}}R_{1}^{2}{{\omega }_{1}}={{M}_{2}}R_{2}^{2}{{\omega }_{2}}\] Given:    \[{{M}_{1}}={{M}_{2}},\]\[{{R}_{1}}=2{{R}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{M}_{1}}{{(2{{R}_{2}})}^{2}}{{\omega }_{1}}={{M}_{1}}R_{2}^{2}{{\omega }_{2}}\] or            \[{{\omega }_{2}}=4{{\omega }_{1}}\] Thus, angular velocity will becomes four time to that of in 1st case.
