Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(13\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By conservation of angular momentum

\(\mathrm{I}_1 \omega_1=\mathrm{I}_2 \omega_2\)

\(\left(\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2\right) \frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}_1}=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{M}\left(\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{R}\right)^2 \frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}_2}\)

\(\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}_1}=\frac{9}{16 \mathrm{~T}_2}\)

\(\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{9}{16} \times \mathrm{T}_1=\frac{9}{16} \times 24 \mathrm{hr}=\frac{27}{2} \mathrm{hr}=13 \mathrm{hr} 30 \text { mins. }\)
