    A uniform cylindrical rod of mass M and length L is rotating with an angular speed \[\omega \]. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to its axis of symmetry and passes through one of its end faces. If the room temperature increases by t and the  coefficient of linear expansion of the rod is \[\alpha \], the magnitude of the change in its angular speed is:

    A)  2 \[\omega \alpha t\]                                   

    B)  \[\omega \alpha t\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2}\,\omega \alpha t\]                              

    D)  \[\frac{\omega \alpha t}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Since, the moment of inertia of thin rod about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to its geometrical axis is \[{{I}_{CM}}=\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{12}\] M.I. of rod about an axis perpendicular to its geometrical axis and passes through one of the ends \[{{I}_{1}}={{I}_{CM}}+M{{(L/2)}^{2}}\] Theorem of parallel axis \[{{I}_{1}}=\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{12}+\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{4}\] \[{{I}_{1}}=\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{3}\] If initial angular speed of rod \[=\omega \] When room temperature increases by t and coefficient of linear expansion of rod is \[\alpha \] then New M.I. of rod \[{{I}_{2}}=\frac{M}{3}{{(L+l)}^{2}}\]where \[l=L\times \alpha \times t\] (increment in length) No external torque is acting so angular speed will decrease. Let now angular speed \[=(\omega -\Delta \omega )={{\omega }_{2}}\] (let) According to conservation of angular momentum (Since, torque \[\tau =0\]) \[{{I}_{1}}{{\omega }_{1}}={{I}_{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}\] \[\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{3}\omega =\frac{M}{3}{{(L+l)}^{2}}.(\omega -\Delta \omega )\] \[{{L}^{2}}\omega ={{(L+L.\alpha .t)}^{2}}(\omega .-\Delta \omega )\] \[{{L}^{2}}\omega ={{L}^{2}}{{(1+\alpha .t)}^{2}}(\omega -\Delta \omega )\]                 or            \[\frac{\omega -\Delta \omega }{\omega }=\frac{1}{{{(1+\alpha t)}^{2}}}\] \[1-\frac{\Delta \omega }{\omega }={{(1+\alpha t)}^{-2}}\] Using binomial theorem \[{{(1+x)}^{-n}}\] \[=1-nx+....\]  (leaving higher power terms) \[1-\frac{\Delta \omega }{\omega }=1-2\alpha t\] \[\frac{\Delta \omega }{\omega }=2\alpha t\] \[\Delta \omega =2\alpha t\omega \] \[\therefore \] Change in angular speed \[=2\alpha t\omega \]
