    Directions : In the following question more than one of the answers given may be correct. Select the correct answer and mark it according to the code:

    A uniform cylinder of steel of mass M, radius R is placed on frictionless bearings and set to rotate about its vertical axis with angular velocity\[{{\omega }_{0}}\]. After the cylinder has reached the specified state of rotation. It is heated without any mechanical contact from temperature\[{{T}_{0}}\]to\[{{T}_{0}}+\Delta T\]. If\[\frac{\Delta I}{I}\]is the fractional change in moment of inertia of the cylinder and \[\frac{\Delta \omega }{{{\omega }_{0}}}\]be the fractional change in the angular velocity of the cylinder and a be the coefficient of linear expansion, then (1) \[\frac{\Delta I}{I}=\frac{2\Delta R}{R}\]                         (2) \[\frac{\Delta I}{I}=\frac{\Delta \omega }{{{\omega }_{0}}}\] (3) \[\frac{\Delta \omega }{{{\omega }_{0}}}=-2\alpha \Delta T\]              (4) \[\frac{\Delta I}{I}=\frac{2\Delta R}{R}\]

    A)  1, 2 and 3 are correct

    B)  1 and 2 are correct

    C)   2 and 4 are correct

    D)  1 and 3 are correct

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Since no mechanical contact is there, so angular momentum is conserved.                 \[I\omega =\]constant                 \[\Delta (I\omega )=0\]                 \[I\Delta \omega +\omega \Delta I=0\]                 \[\frac{\Delta \omega }{\omega }=-\frac{\Delta I}{I}\]                 \[\frac{\Delta \omega }{\omega }=-\frac{\Delta I}{I}=-2\alpha \Delta T\]\[\left\{ \because \frac{\Delta I}{I}=\frac{2\Delta R}{R}=2\alpha \Delta T \right\}\]
