  2. B \(\frac{L}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{L}{8}\)
  4. D \(\frac{L}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{L}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kinetic energy \(\mathrm{k}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \frac{\mathrm{K}_2}{\mathrm{~K}_1}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_2 \omega_2^2}{\mathrm{I}_1 \omega_1^2} \\
& \therefore \frac{1}{4}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_2}{\mathrm{I}_1} \cdot 4 \\
& \therefore \frac{\mathrm{I}_2}{\mathrm{I}_1}=\frac{1}{16} \\
& \frac{\mathrm{L}_2}{\mathrm{~L}_1}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_2 \omega_2}{\mathrm{I}_1 \omega_1}=\frac{1}{16} \times 2=\frac{1}{8} \\
& \therefore \mathrm{L}_2=\frac{\mathrm{L}_1}{8}
\end{aligned}
