  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(16\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From conservation of angular momentum \(\frac{2}{5} MR ^2 \omega_1=\frac{2}{5} M \left(\frac{ R }{4}\right)^2 \omega_2\) \(\Rightarrow MR ^2 \omega_1=\frac{ MR ^2}{16} \omega_2\)…
