    Suppose in gravity free space a disc of mass \[{{m}_{0}}\]rotates freely about a fixed horizontal axis through its centre. A thin cotton pad is fixed to its rim, which can absorb water. The mass of water dripping onto the pad is \[\mu \,\,kg\] per second. After what time will the angular velocity of the disc get reduced to half of its initial value?

    A) \[2\,{{m}_{0}}/\mu \]               

    B) \[3\,{{m}_{0}}/\mu \]

    C) \[{{m}_{0}}/\mu \]                   

    D) \[{{m}_{0}}/2\mu \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Conservation of angular momentum \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{\omega }_{0}}}{2}\left[ (\mu t){{R}^{2}}+\frac{{{m}_{0}}{{R}^{2}}}{2} \right]=\frac{{{m}_{0}}{{R}^{2}}}{2}{{\omega }_{0}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[t=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{2\mu }\]
