A thin circular ring of mass 'M' and radius 'r' is rotating about its axis with an angular speed ' \(\omega\) '. Two particles each of mass 'm' are now attached at diametrically opposite points. The angular speed of the ring will become

  1. A \(\frac{\omega M}{M+2 m}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\omega M}{M+m}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\omega(M-2 m)}{M}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\omega(M-2 m)}{M+2 m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\omega M}{M+2 m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(L_1 = I_1 \omega = Mr^2 \omega\) \(L_2 = I_2 \omega' = (Mr^2 + 2mr^2) \omega' = (M+2m)r^2 \omega'\)
