    If the earth were to contract such that its radius becomes one quarter, without change in its mass, the duration of one full day would be

    A)  3h                                         

    B)  1.5 h    

    C)         6h                         

    D)         4h

    E)  2h

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As angular momentum is conserved, so \[I\omega =constant\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{I}_{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}={{I}_{1}}{{\omega }_{1}}\] Or           \[\frac{2}{5}M{{\left( \frac{R}{4} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}\times \frac{2\pi }{24}\] Or           \[16T=24\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[T=1.5h\]
