JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

A thin uniform bar of length \(L\) and mass \(8\,m\) lies on a smooth horizontal table. Two point masses \(m\) and \(2\,m\) moving in the same horizontal plane from opposite sides of the bar with speeds \(2v\) and \(v\) respectively. The masses stick to the bar after collision at a distance \(\frac{L}{3}\) and \(\frac{L}{6}\) respectively from the centre of the bar. If the bar starts rotating about its center of mass as a result of collision, the angular speed of the bar will be

  1. A \(\frac{v}{{6L}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{6v}{{5L}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3v}{{5L}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{v}{{5L}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{v}{{6L}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Linear momentum is conserved \(2 m v-2 m v=(2 m+m+M) V_{c m}\) \(\Rightarrow V_{c m}=0\) Angular momentum is conserve \(2 m v \frac{L}{6}+2 m v \times \frac{L}{3}+0=I w\) \(...(i)\) \(I=\mathrm{M.I.}\) of rod \(+\mathrm{M.I.}\) of mass \(2 \mathrm{m}+\mathrm{M.I}\) of mass…
