Two identical particles each of mass ' \(\mathrm{m}\) ' are separated by a distance ' \(d\) '. The axis of rotation passes through the midpoint of ' \(\mathrm{d}\) ' and is perpendicular to the length \(\mathrm{d}\). If ' \(\mathrm{K}\) ' is the average rotational kinetic energy of the system, then the angular frequency is

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{~d} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{K}}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{m}}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{\mathrm{~d}} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{m}}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{4} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{K}}}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2}{\mathrm{~d}} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{m}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moment of inertia \(\mathrm{I}=2 \mathrm{~m}\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}\right)^2=\frac{\mathrm{md}^2}{2}\)
Kinetic energy \(K=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\)
\(\therefore \omega^2=\frac{2 \mathrm{~K}}{\mathrm{I}}=2 \mathrm{~K} \cdot \frac{2}{\mathrm{md}^2}=\frac{4 \mathrm{~K}}{\mathrm{md}^2}\)
\(\therefore \omega=\frac{2}{\mathrm{~d}} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{m}}}\)
