    The angular momentum of a rotating body changes from\[{{A}_{0}}\]to\[4{{A}_{0}}\]in 4 min. The torque acting on the body is:

    A)  \[\frac{3}{4}{{A}_{0}}\]                

    B)  \[4{{A}_{0}}\]

    C)  \[3{{A}_{0}}\]                                  

    D)  \[\frac{3}{2}{{A}_{0}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                      Key Idea: The rate of change of angular momentum (dJ) of a body is equal to the external torque\[(\tau )\]acting upon the body. Torque = rate of change of angular momentum or                            \[\tau =\frac{dJ}{dt}\] Given, \[dJ=4{{A}_{0}}-{{A}_{0}},dt=4\text{ }\min \] \[\therefore \]                  \[\tau =\frac{3}{4}{{A}_{0}}\] Note: This formula\[\frac{dJ}{dt}\]is similar to the formula for linear motion.
